    My M101a2 build

    Welcome to the site Larry. I did the same thing last year around this time. I started searching the forum to get different ideas. A few members had made different changes to the hitch. I started looking into several different ones. I went with this system because it was easy and I could raise or...

    I'll save them for you. They work great but I want to put Fox shocks or Rancho shocks on the new axle.

    My M101a2 build

    Hi Larry, I tow mine at 65-70 with my ATV in the back all the time (Before the snow fell). The trailer frame is build like a tank. The rest is also over builded like most military items to with stand the abuse they receive. I changed the tires out to 285/75R16 LT tires. The 55 rating is mostly a...

    My M101a2 build

    All the parts have been taken. I'm happy to say I have everything out of my garage now. The only parts I have left that I will not ship are the trailer side panels and pins. They are to big to ship so if your in the MN area and want them let me know. I will be replacing the axle and shocks this...

    Update date on parts.. The cover has been taken already. I'm not selling the parts. If you can pick them up you can have them. If you cannot pick them up I'll ship them to you if you pay for the shipping. I'm not looking to make anything off them. I just want them out of my garage. The only...

    My M101a2 build

    I have been looking at just going with new rims. I have seen tires on GML that are 37 x 12.5 on 16.5 hummer rims. They have the same bolt pattern but not sure if the rims would work. I have enough room under the trailer with my Grizzly 660 loaded in it for 37" tires. Have you heard of anyone...

    My M101a2 build

    Thank you DAP. I tried to use everything but really only ended up using the 8 frame metal attachment plates and the pull rings. I replaced all the bolts and nuts with Grade 8 to make sure everything would hold together. I know over kill but I like to over kill when it comes to something being...

    My M101a2 build

    Harley, Thank you. I took your hitch and cable idea and had to add them to my trailer. I wanted to use a retractable cable like they have on some boat trailers but could not find them anywhere. My next step is to install LED running lights on each side to match the LED running lights on my...

    Nick, Thank you. Believe me when I say its a pain in the rear, but I really like how it turned out. I got the ball hitch from Harley's build on here. It sure is much lighter on the tongue now. I can move it around with my Grizzly 660 ATV in it with no problem by hand.

    My M101a2 build

    Just thought after viewing everyone's build I would post my completed build. Here are a few pictures showing the start and final pictures. I have over 100 build pictures. If your looking for any parts off the trailer let me know. I just want to get them out of my garage. I used bedliner on the...

    Thank you all.. If I had the place to put one I would consider getting one. On the other hand I sure a lot of you have seen the deuce on Extreme 4X4 they turned into a 4X4 with a 105 trailer bed on it. I know its not a restore but that would be a NICE 4X4. The only problem is where to use it...
