    S-250 - m101a1

    I got it loaded. I used some ramps and a atv winch and pull it on. I didn't get it lined up before I started up the ramps. It ended up taking me a out an hour to get it loaded. With a second set of hands I think I could have done it in 15 mins. I had to cut 2 1/2 inches out of each wheel...

    1 ton load in a M101A2

    I think they're good as long as you keep them under 2 tons....2 looks like it's pushing it to me. I towed 4 tons of gravel a few miles with mine....not a good idea, but it didn't break.

    S-250 - m101a1

    I ended up getting my s-250 from jcappeljr. John dropped it right in the bed of my truck. I have a short bed F250 superduty. If it had another 2 inches, I could have shut the tailgate.(after I took the extra crap off the door) I didn't take any before pictures. but here's the first...

    Titleing a m105

    In Va, the homemade thing is pretty easy. You go to DMV, fill out a form and they give a vin plate. You then rivet the plate on the trailer and get a police office to look at it and sign your form. Take that back to DMV and get a home made title. here's the form you get to pick the empty...

    your camping trailer loadout recommendations

    I'll be starting a build in the next couple of weeks with a m101 and s250. I'm hoping to have it ready to go to the Fiddler's convention in Galax, Aug. 5. So far, here's what I have planned before the Galax trip: Full size bed or futon. Shore power connections - wiring + circuit breakers A/C a...

    clothing repair insert for M101 trailer

    sorry... http://www.liberatedmanuals.com/TM-10-3530-203-10.pdf page 127, 128 Is that what you saw? If so, they look nice. I could think of a few different uses for them.

    clothing repair insert for M101 trailer

    I found a manual on them SPV34 or SPV35. They look like they're pretty big. The only picture I could find had one mounted in a 105

    Failed MD CDL Class B due to improper vehicle!

    If anyone needs help in VA, let me know...I can tell you exactly what you need to say/do to pass for a class B. Or I can get you information directly from the testers manual.

    Shelter?

    Good to know....a 250 will fit in a M101 but a 250E would hang out?

    Shelter?

    I looked at that place too....it looks like they're bigger and twice the weight of the s-250s. Did the S250s come in two different lengths? or would they measure the extras too?

    S-250 - m101a1

    Good news....GL said they would help load it into a pickup. Now if I get it, I don't even need to bring a trailer. :mrgreen: AND if the GL box fall through, I found one on craigslist...

    S-250 - m101a1

    It's kind of a hike so I was trying to bring a smaller trailer. I guess if I win, I'll just drag the big flatbed up there.

    S-250 - m101a1

    GL has a few S-250 shelters. I know it's been done before but I might want to get one to drop in my M101. I know I'll have to cut the wheel wells a couple of inches but is there anything else to make it fit? Also, GL says it will load a flat bed. Do yall think they'll drop it in the M101 or...

    Probably flat black or bed liner, 6 lug axle, some type of top. I'm not sure how it will go yet.

    M101A1 Rims/Tires

    It seems like it's in pretty good shape. It pulls nice behind the truck but I got it for this: I think it will sit level behind the jeep. I just picked up the trailer tonight after a friend put the tires on. The truck is a little more reliable so I left the jeep at home. I'm planning on...

    M101A1 Rims/Tires

    That's what I thought.. :( I've seen a bunch of people switch the axle out...but I haven't heard what they did with the axle, rims and tires when they're done.

    M101A1 Rims/Tires

    I just bought a M101A1. It came with what looks like the original tires so I switched them out for a set of 245/75 16s. I think they should work well for a while. I'm going to eventually replace the axle so I can match the 6 lug rims on my jeep but I need a spare rim/tire until I can do that...
