Mystery military trailer

[Iron Bender]

Advertised locally. I don’t recognize it. Legit military trailer or someone’s home brewed attempt at one?

First hmmwv prototype trailer. Predecessor to m1101. Evil dr porkchop has one. He might have a thread on it.

EDIT: I spoke too soon, or rather at the same time that everyone else above did

Looks like an early M1101.

I actually think a member on here who lives near me has one...

Like mentioned I've got one just like it. Mine is a little more militarized and has milspec taillights. I've read that silver eagle built 15 trailers for testing, I guess that makes 4 still around. They're kinda goofy but I like the look of it behind a HMMWV. I like the side racks and bows, haven't seen those yet.

If the price is right I'd go for it, you'll probably have the only one in town. The hitch parts are mostly the same as m101a2s so easy to get.

How much are they asking? Just curious..I'm way too far to even think about it.

$800

 

[Evil Dr. Porkchop]

$800 seems like a good deal. I'd buy it for that if it was closer.

 

[drivebymashing]

Yep I agree good price.

Thank goodness it’s in WA or I’d own another trailer I don’t need. At $800 for a rare trailer, yep. I’d buy it. I’d buy it because it’s a good deal. I’d buy it because of a dozen other reasons that don’t include the fact that I’m a trailer whore.

The first step is admitting you have a problem.

“Hello, my name is Buffalobwana and I buy trailers.”

”Hello Buffalobwana!”

one of the things I like about the prototype is that it does not sit real high like the m1101/2 more like an m101. Makes it easier to load/unload for weak old guys.....

It also looks like you might be able to stand upright in it with the tarp installed. Looks to be a good 16-18” taller.
