I saw those listed. Quite a few were sold.
Couldn’t understand why they needed a EUC. The ones I saw listed required it.
The 105 is a big trailer.
Using thicker steel definitely made a difference in strength and also weight.
The M101A2/3 is the best trailer the Military used.
I’ve had a few people drive up and ask if I wanted to sell
mine and then where to get them.
Mostly Jeep guys
Now I can tell them don’t bother to look at GP auctions since their all gone basically.
Some really great builds and great ideas are on that site and SS.
That’s why I wanted...
AntennaClimber did a fantastic build with a M101A2 for the convoy last year.
Best one I’ve seen IMHO.
Plenty of others, including the above, that also did awesome builds.
All it takes is time and $$$
Plus space, ingenuity, skill, dedication.......
I’m definitely building one...
GL charged me Diesel tax on both trailers.
Took weeks to get it refunded.
Initially, they couldn’t understand why I was complaining.
Yea.
Wished I would have bought several more.
Oh well.......hindsight is 20/20
Luckily I have one for ranch work and my other is for a future camper build.
Had 2.1 tons of gravel in my tan M101A2 Monday.
Handled it no sweat.
Axle bumpers were about 1 1/2” from frame rail.
Forgot to take a pic.
Fantastic trailers.
The two that I have came from same place and time period.
$200 each. Two different auctions.
No damage, except for a busted light and trailer cable.
Usual surface rust but no rot.
One had tons of goodies, including a brand new camo cover.
Kicking myself for not getting more.
Thought two...
They also look funny behind a CUCV.
Now if I still had my M998A1 then I would be interested in them.
I don’t, so I’m not.
This thread isn’t a debate between the two trailers.
Each has their pros and cons.
Was hoping there was a fiield full the M101A2/3s sitting somewhere waiting for...
Exactly the info I was looking for.
I knew when I was at RRAD and didn’t see a single one......that wasn’t good.
Of course there they would probably scrap them.
Plural?
1500lb axle is way light on a trailer that weights almost that empty.
Almost all private ones I’ve seen have been jacked with in one way or another.
Hence....Wanting it straight from Military.
