    Sorry, my internet was shut off so they could upgrade the towers. Ok, the side boards, front and rear gates are all 3/4" thick by 3" tall. These are final measurements, after I trimmed them down and routed the edges. Do you want or need lengths of the boards too? And do you need bow...

Its local "valley oak" from the central valley here in Calif. I dont remember exactly what size I made...

    I really like the look of it like that, so it out weights if I wanna use the dump and hafta take the tire off. Worth it to me. Hope my trials have helped. Lemme know if theres anything else to help ya. Nick

    It still wont do it with the tire on, so, if I'm gonna use the dump, I'll take the tire off to do it. No big deal. I dont know how much I'll use the dump feature anyway. And it wont take much to take the tire off if I do. I think one of the main issues are the brakes. I cant seem to get the...

    M101A1 Parts

    Dunno how different the M101a1 is from just an M101. But the shocks I put on mine are as below. This was taking the stock shock off, bringing it to Smith Auto Parts, and comparing almost every shock they had to find one close to the travel distance of the stock one, and for the weight. I tried...

    Boarding ladder mounts

    I am brainstorming for how to be able to use my boarding ladder with my M101 whan camping, or just needing to get in with the tailgate closed. What Im thinking is, since I dont want to cut holes in the tailgate or frame, I have bent the tabs on the top of the ladder flat. I then would take two...
