    The solid rims are not the easiest to find. Usually pricey when you do. I was very lucky. Those lugs should work fine. Please post if you have any issues.

    Bought a NOS camo trailer cover for my workhorse M101A2. Looks kinda silly on a tan trailer but it will work for now. These are getting scarce and very expensive. I will replace the lousy nylon ropes with the rubber rope. Did that mod on my other trailer and it’s a breeze to get in and out of...

    I was surprised on how often I use the water trailer. Has been extremely handy It has been used as everything from a remote shower to a movable water supply for a power washer and so on. I keep it filled in the warmer months so we always have drinking water if needed. It’s getting close to...

    Picked up a set of the solid wheels and G186 tires for the M149A2 water trailer. No more lock rings. Will install this week.

    She is a great dog. Loves riding in the back of the CUCV, or front seat of anything else. Installed a LED set on my third M101A2. Had another supervisor for this job.

    Those are factory LED blackout bulbs, but you can usually buy them separately on eBay or a parts wanted request in the classifieds here on Steel Soldiers. The Stop/Turn LEDs complete the light. I had installed all LEDs on my old 5 ton using all Truck-Lite brand lights. The prices for new LED...

    Installed another LED bulb set in my second M101A2. Super easy and will last for years. The bulbs I got from another Steel Soldiers member. The dialectic grease and the silicone grease are from Amazon. Zero modifications are needed. Took 5 minutes per side.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Installed LED bulbs on my main workhorse M101A2. Much less expensive than a new set of lights. Applied electrical grease to the connections and silicone grease to the housing seal. Should never have to worry about them again unless I smash one. Trailer needs painted and is showing it’s age but...

    Nothing exciting Driveway Maintenance I have a fairly long driveway and it needs the occasional touchup It's much cheaper than having it hauled in. The M101A2 is perfect for these small projects since it can handle the weight and rough terrain that a normal trailer couldn't

    Military. Data plate says heavy spring kit installed Looks to just be additional leaf(s). Will do same amount or just a tad more next time.

    Used the M101A2 to haul some gravel. This trailer has the heavy spring kit installed. Had 1.6 ton of gravel in it and it still wasn’t touching the bump stops. Lousy pic and trailers almost empty when taken, but it did much better than expected over rough roads. Surge brakes worked great and...

    Appreciate it. It’s a great fit for the ford tractor.

    Finally finished the transformation of the USAF Oxygen Cylinder trailer to a small utility trailer. Still some small tweaks to do. Will let wood age outside for a year or so then treat it with clean oil. It will never be on the road, so no lighting is needed. Should work fine. Edit: Added...

    Moved this trailer to a better spot to run the two generators I store inside it. It usually sits in heavy shade, but I let it sit out in the hot sun for two days to burn the creatures out. Trailer frame and cover flaps had spiders all in it. None inside cargo space at all. All good now

    Trailered home another trailer M116A2 with a MEP-002A on top It’s missing a few lug nuts and has the wrong size tires. Normal paint peeling and busted tail lights. One from me. The brake levers work at least. A good power wash and a repaint will do wonders. New tires ordered. Generator...
