You just kinda have to play with the adjustment.
Adjusting the striker inward (to a point) will allow the door to close tighter and with new seals should help with the water issue.
The hinge bushings have already been discussed and will help also.
Doors were swapped in CUCVs a lot when in...
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...
Turner Turnpike is the Autobahn of Oklahoma.
As mentioned, 85-90+ is the norm.
OHP patrols it as vigorously as their budget allows, but seems to have little effect once the trooper is passed and out of sight.
Local/county LE usually stay clear from it.
Air patrols have suffered from budget...
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...
I was waiting for someone to mention that.
It’s old damage and door was fixed not long after getting truck.

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...
Saw the post and was also having almost same issue.
Always worse when windows rolled up because of air pressure inside.
Already had PEX on hand in red and blue. Used Red.
Took less than 10 minutes
Problem solved.
It will never close like a Cadillac, but it’s 100% better.
Worthy of a...
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...
