    Mashed Potatoes: M1101

    Yesterday I took the trailer out with my bike on it for a test drive to see how it felt. I did have the thought "Maybe I shouldn't do this with my most expensive bike" before leaving, but thankfully everything went pretty well. The only thing was that it DID kind of wobble side to side just...

    Amazing, thanks for the part number and info! Can't say I'll be doing all that soon, but it's definitely good to have that info on the radar

    Mashed Potatoes: M1101

    Haha that's an awesome story seeing all of those! When I was working on it today, my wife was asking "So what were these used for and where?" And I just gave a generic answer I thought wasn't false along the lines of "Just used to haul various things around, basically wherever a humvee might be"...

    Mashed Potatoes: M1101

    Okie doke, @Tinstar, you can mark the bearings as checked and greased! I started with the passenger side. Here's what I saw when I got the grease cap, spindle, and big greasy washer off. I was pleasantly surprised to see decent traces of grease. This aligns with my thoughts, based on the tires...

    Huge thanks to @HoveringHMMWV for linking the rivets that work on these trailers. I was able to un-fuckulate the light I goofed up. And huge thanks to you all for letting me know these things twist out to service at this level. I really would have never figured that out if not for you guys lol...

    Mashed Potatoes: M1101

    I found a solution to mount my mountain bike in the trailer in a cost effective way that doesn't intrude on the center space, which would interfere with being able to use the tie downs. I had contemplated making a cross-brace to go across the back, and wending a hitch receiver, and mounting my...

    It might not be what I'm looking for exactly, but that will at least work. Thanks!

    Mashed Potatoes: M1101

    I've got some Bearing Buddies that I'm going to replace the grease caps with whenever I get around to it. Is there a specific grease that I should look for or order for the bearings? Also, do you know what size the rivets are that hold in the side marker lights?

    Mashed Potatoes: M1101

    Little update for today: I replaced the 24v tail lights with these 12v LEDs. https://www.ebay.com/itm/262037336151 I found that ebay link through another M1101 post on another site, so I just went ahead and ordered what should work (even though I know it was overpriced for 4 LEDs). I wish I...

    Mashed Potatoes: M1101

    Thanks for the welcome and the kind words! I actually already have a pair of Bearing Buddys ("Buddies"?), but I can't figure out how to get the center cap off to install them, and I stopped hammering my flathead screwdriver at the base of the OEM caps before I did any damage. How do you get...

    Mashed Potatoes: M1101

    Hola, Steel Soldiers forum members! I decided, against my reluctance to sign up for one more website, to join the forum here because of how useful this forum and the members were in my research for my M1101. I've been wanting an M1101/1102 for about 2 years now because my wife and I like to...
