I have been poor:( My plan was to build with my tax return but my M1009 needs new tires and my M109A3 needs a fuel pump and batteries SO... It is now on the front burner so I will be starting soon, I will update when I start.

I am not sure how much it will weigh, I am going to TRY to keep it simple and lightweight, but also want sturdy, so we shall see... I will keep it 1009 worthy. His trailer is post #367 and 370 in this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/trailers/52277-show-us-your-military-trailers.html

Here you go Mark, krappy cell phone pic:

No, I have been too poor:( I DID use the trailer to haul some troop seats yesterday though...

Where did you find that photo, I have looked all over for it

Buckmaw and I swapped the bodies this week, actually easier than I thought it would be! Once we found and removed all the bolts we stood the bodies up on end and swapped the frames under them, them flopped them back, easy! We almost had a mishap when sliding the full tub back on the E1 frame...

My next step is to do a frame swap. This frame is an M116A2E1, which in capacity terms means she is a 1 ton, in practical terms it means she is taller (4" frame vs 3", and more leaves in the springs) and heavier so she is less than level behind a M1009 and harder on the truck to pull. I have a...

I thought about a blue wrench of some sort, but I did not want to set anything on fire...

Not exactly, the grinder part happened yesterday after freezing my nards off at the parade, fixing my non shifting M1009, and two trips to HF/Lowes to get the right discs for the borrowed grinder... sawzall part was today after the car show...

So I have decided to build a teardrop style camper on a M101 trailer I have and had a thought: instead of removing the body tub why not cut off all of the vertical surfaces and make a flat bed, like a M116 genset trailer? A flat bed would give me fenders and a wide flat (sort of flat) surface to...
