    Alaskan M1102 Spare Tire Carrier from Hardware store parts

    Fairly clean, watch the wood for long term rot and short term water damage. In the long run, get rid of the wood and use a chunk of aluminum. A single wheel spacer between 1 and 2 inches thick should give you the needed support and sizing to replace the plywood.

    Removing tie downs in m1101

    Easy, they were thinking...................................... you don't need to remove these to paint them. Clean them up and hit them with some black epoxy paint. Let them dry and then bed line it.

    8 lug to 6 lug

    I'm fairly certain you can swap the outer drum assembly to six lug. As backing plates and drums interchange with the regular 6000/7000lb axle stuff. The backing plates can be swapped to electric with or without parking brakes. Standard Dexter axle stuff.

    Removing tie downs in m1101

    Just tape them off. I'd go with the entire round part so that the liner is just over the hold down circle, making it drain easier.

    M1101 spare tire carrier and other mods

    The wood is cut to length, it fits under the aluminum top lip of the trailer. Gravity holds it. Interesting idea, but I don't like how soft the aluminum is and any major weight will bend the lip. I can easily flex it with just finger pressure.

    M1101 spare tire carrier and other mods

    Are you going to add receivers to the outside ends of the bumper to allow the stabilizer legs to continue to be used? Ah, never mind. You kept them behind the bumper.

    M1101 Pickup/Transport considerations

    Holy popo, your right. Once he flips it back to the correct side he can see just how much better it is already. It was probably behind a duce or 5 ton, and some mil mechanic thought it would best to flip the ring.

    M1101 Pickup/Transport considerations

    I've already painted my rims in black. Looks good. I also plan to mount the spare for it under the rear of the trailer bed. Since I'm only running 265/75R16 tires it will fit behind the axle and in front of the rear marker lights no problem. I'll either go fixed or try to find a decent priced...

    M1101 Pickup/Transport considerations

    You can do several things to get better towing height/hitch set-up. #1 in my opinion is changing to regular truck rims and tires. A set of dodge or chevy 8 lugs and some 265/75R16 tires will bring it down a bunch and still maintain great ground clearance. #2 is change the trailer hitch. Several...

    M1101 Pickup/Transport considerations

    You do know that you can do a tire change without a jack? Lower the hitch way down, install the rear supports to the highest current point, and start winding up the front jack. Both tires off the ground without needing a separate jack.

    Had the Pinzgauer and newly painted M101A2 trailer out today

    You could probably just add matching side windows and you'd be good to go.

    My new M1101 and Jeep!

    On mine I just cut the mil connector off and put the 7-way end on it, cost $9. Then the swap to 12v bulbs. If your doing it in daylight, you can get away with just the lights in the tail to get you home. I got a 10 pack of #97 LED bulbs to replace the marker lights (need 9 total) and used two...

    Got my new to me M1102 and a couple questions for you guys

    Here's some good pics of the trailer and my suburban........................... Probably going another inch higher on the suburban rear height to balance it better when loaded. Then will adjust hitch height to match. Notice how the ground clearance balances well with both the trailer and the...

    Got my new to me M1102 and a couple questions for you guys

    Nothing I own or plan to get is 24v, basically taking my tax money the Gov spent and making a good civ trailer that also works off road.

    license plate mounting ideas

    I used two small brackets, screwed them on to hold the LED lights around the plate. Then bolted the plate directly to the rear after drilling and tapping two holes to fit. The wires for the LED's hook into the marker lights next to the plate.
