    McGuyver's M101 trailer project

    For the cables, I just kept looking on Ebay until the right PN for the right length came up, and then bought them. Basically I just got lucky. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    McGuyver's M101 trailer project

    I am in the process of converting my M101A1 to an M101A2 configuration. I already have the axle and parking brake installed. I have acquired a surge brake actuator and other parts to install. I'd like to know the best way to run the hydraulic lines along the frame under the trailer. I've...

    This is the unit from Croft: https://www.crofttrailer.com/ta6-r-hydro-act-hydraulic-brake-actuator-with-3-tow-ring-6-000-lb-capacity/ Is this original equipment for the A2? It sure looks like it, except for the master cylinder reservoir cap... Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    McGuyver's M101 trailer project

    Yeah I knew about croft, but going new would run me about $450. Would be better if I could find a setup used in good condition. I might go flat black on the wheels. Then again, this color of green is kind of growing on me. And it's cheap. We'll see. Thanks for the input. Sent from my...

    McGuyver's M101 trailer project

    I got the correct cable length now and the parking brake is all installed and working without drilling any new holes or making any modifications. Very glad to have that resolved, since that is one of my favorite features of this trailer. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    McGuyver's M101 trailer project

    Yeah, I may do the surge brake, if I can do it affordable. The paint on the wheels is just krylon cammo paint from Walmart. It was less than $4 a can. I figured it was better than leaving them white. You're right about it being lighter than the 34094 forest green. I'll probably order some...

    Some pics of the axle swap Some pictures of the axle swap. It lowered the trailer ~2.25" going from the 9.00-16" NDT tires to 235/85R16 tires. I then decided to swap to a pair of 265/75R16's that I liked better that are pretty much the same height as the 235/85R16's.
