Guys. I am not a paint and body guy so I figured I would post my question here. I have a 1992 M101a2 in very good condition. VSE corp reconditioned the trailer in 2007. It has no known rust and the CARC (Painted in 2007) is in very good shape. I live in Michigan and this trailer will see...

Hey guys.. I searched but could not find anything on the subject of modifying the wheel wells on a M101A2 trailer. I know this has to be done to fit a communications shelter in them but I am looking at doing this for more space to accommodate 4x8 sheets of plywood and eventually a quad...

Guys... I have an M101a2 and want to take off the surge brake actuator/lunette assm. and replace it with a M101a1 Lunette assembly. First off, is this possible? Are the two assemblies interchangeable without modification? I am thinking of swapping the axle for a lighter civy axle with...
