Matt, That looks great!!!

Very cool! I just picked up a M332 from an auction and am waiting for the EUC myself and was wondering how you painted it? As far as rattle cans or a sprayer like you would use on a house or a fence? Also from what I gathered from the TM's, you don't have to have the air hooked up to tow one of these is that right?

I painted it with a harbor freight paint gun. You could use spray cans, but its generally less expensive to use a gun on anything bigger than a few parts.

The air lines do not have to be hooked up to tow the M332 or most other trailers with hydraulic brakes.

I agree, it turned out great. When do you get to show it off next?

Thanks! Not sure yet, I think the next step is to put some 11R20 G177 tires on it.

Wow, that turned out great!!!!

At a recent event, pulled by the M925A2.

I found some 10R22.5 wheels, tires, and lugnuts from a M105A3 and put them on. I think I like it, but it does make it wider. I considered trying to move the 105A3 hitch and landing gear over, but it would be a lot of work.

Maybe its a M332A1 now?

I like it too. Got a neat industrial look to it. Not that it didn't, but now its a little more "modernized"...

Have you noticed any difference in towing it with the diff tires? I doubt it, but thought I would ask.

I don't have it anymore, but I did not notice any difference other than it being considerably wider.
