Well what can I say here.....I am just an "OLD" (78 years) broken down cowboy from Arizona. Born and raised here, smack dab in the middle of the beautiful, warrrrrm, Sonoran desert. I have a Toyota FJ, and was looking for a trailer to pull behind it on my many excursions around our beautiful state. I purchased a M1101 (that's what it says on the name, faq, info plate?) and know nothing in the world about military trailers, trucks, ammo trailers, or anything else period! Just one dumb old cowboy, so go easy on me PLEASE when I make all the mistakes I am sure to make.....Story of my life !!

Welcome from PA. Now you need an OD green truck made in America to pull that trailer the right way.

Welcome!
I think your FJ has a 5000 lb towing capacity, so you should be able to tow your M1101 trailer OK. You might have to make some mods to the trailer or hitch to get it to travel level, though.
The tech manual for the trailer is at http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?77618-TM-s-for-Trailers&highlight=m1101 scroll down to the third up from the bottom.

Welcome from Kentucky, Living smack dab in the middle of the desert, you'll need a nice generator to put in the trailer that the deuce will pull. A lot of your new friends here are "hooked" too.
