Yes over the springs. I could c notch it like on lowered trucks.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
It should be fine, the bed provides a lot of strength so that part of the frame should be okay. I guess it was GentrysGrarage that was talking about duals with those wheels. Did you remove the brake drum to fit the wheel?Yes over the springs. I could c notch it like on lowered trucks.
A can of flat black spray paint will work wonders on those wheels.Added isuzu 16 inch wheels 225/75/16 load range e tires.View attachment 723624View attachment 723625
Amen Thanks for info The m101a1/a2/a3 Perfect for pulling behind a pickup .Remember, DOT will always only go by what’s on the data plate.
No matter what is done to lighten it, the original weight ratings are what is used.
A M101A2/3 would be a much better fit and look a lot better behind your Xterra.
A trailer compatible with your vehicle and with brakes. It’s a Win Win.
Plus it’s still an approved trailer for the Deuce.
Not trying to beat a dead horse, but I’ve seen your setup too many times in accidents and the legal and court aftermath.
It gets very expensive very fast.
I would hate to see it happen to anyone here.
I’ll get off my soap box now......
Here is one I put together from a 105 bed, dexter axle and HMMWV wheels. A guy bought it before I got it welded out or the dump cylinder on (he wanted to finish it) to haul firewood. It trails sweet and has hydraulic disk brakes.Amen Thanks for info The m101a1/a2/a3 Perfect for pulling behind a pickup .
Yea, I just posted to give the new guys some ideas. When I found the forward and back page to post pictures, I found I had made a huge archive.I've read all the posts about the 2 trailers. I've owned 5 105 and also have a 1101. My 105 pictured isn't road legal. I am not going to use it on the road . Unless I can find a 101 for 10 dollars Ill stick with what I have for firewood around the property.
The data plate has been gone for probably 20 years. I use my 1101 it's tagged for road use. My 105 is perfect for firewood at my house huge bed. View attachment 723717
It could be a while before I muster the gumption to try to sew a cover, but I'll keep ya'll posted.If your sewing tops I need one for my M101a2 . you need to look at the trailer good because it's also a dump trailer too.
