Place a magnet to the area you want to work in. If its steel, the magnet will stick. If its aluminum, the magnet will not stick

I have my first shelf unit in place and test fit with various sizes of ammo cans. The shelf Is Muscle Rack brand. It measures 30" wide x 12" deep x 60" high. It has chrome wire shelf inserts. There are Plastic caps on each uprigght to prevent cutting into the tarp. I shortened each post by 3"...

Thank you for thinking about my well being. I am okay albeit a bit sore. I am very cognizant at what might have been the outcome. At first, I was not going to post the photos. I am still embarrassed that I did not use the rear bed support knowing full well it was there. I had not deployed...

It's not what I did do, it's what I didn't do.... I was inside my M105, sitting atop the ammo boxes, trying to install shelves. I slid some small ammo cans onto the tailgate* and that was all it took. It was one heck of a ride. Lesson learned: I won't forget the outrigger again. * = Edit /...

I installed LED tailights and magnetic LED towing lights. I first mounted incandescent trailer lights but I could not see them when lit in the daylight. I figured that if I could not see them others would have the same problem. I can see the LEDs. They are bright (and submersible). The tow...

Amazon has a selection of lift off gate hardware and lift off hinges. Put "Slip Joint & Lift-Off Hinges" into the search window on their site.

Very nice! Are the uprights available for purchase somewhere?

Like m715mike, I had no idea what the ECU referred to nor its purpose mounted on the trailer. After researching it I was able to see photos of it all in use, I now understand that the package provides cool or heated air to a tent through large flexible tubes. The tent then providing relief from...

I put my flags out by my trailer. I think my trailer likes to see the flags for what they represent as much as I do. I painted a 5/8" x 4-3/4" clevis pin that I'll be using with my new safety chains. I painted my new 2-5/16" coupler following M813rc's advice. In 2035 I will revive these posts...

I'm in Woodward County. I don't have any vehicles left and the one trailer (an M105)* I have is being altered slightly for use for misc. hauling and a sometimes coyote hunting blind. That said, I am having fun toying with the trailer. Terry *PS: I have a M101A2 too

Works in progress - 2-5/16" coupler and MRAP steps. I wanted a primer coupling so I could paint it but it was $30 more. I'm not sure if paint will stick to the black powder coat? The 2-5/16" coupler will give me more options for moving the trailer. I can't lift the steps (122 lbs) so I am...

My tire has a new tube and the wheel is back on the trailer. My assistant had to work today so I improvised again and got it done by myself*. * = I used Coug's suggestion about using a lawn mower ramp to assist. Going downhill worked well for me. Total expenses = $83 for labor and tube at the...

I appreciate your suggestion, unfortunately, I don't have the strength to roll one uphill or even balance one for long on level ground. I was barely able to keep this one upright for the slight 8' downhill trip from the M105 to the transport trailer. I have lots of equipment at my disposal but I...

Now I know why so many Egyptian slaves died from moving big stones up the pyramids. After several hours and lots of levers and blocks taking a 185 lb wheel off and getting it into my trailer without human help, I can identify with them. After its repaired, I may leave it off. Putting it back on...

Actually, it was much more difficult than I thought it was going to be. The welding that was previously done all the way around the tapered shaft made it very difficult. If it had been only the shaft, it was have been fairly quick and easy. I used 4.5" angle grinders with cutoff wheels. I...

I Yesterday, I finished the install of the adjustable lunette ring bracket on my M105. The original ring had been welded in place so I removed it with a cutoff tool. I ground the surface flush and had the bracket and gussets installed by a professional welder. The ring now sits at 20" off the...
