My 1st prod. 6000lb MC has proven it's strength/reliability to me...
Growing up in Minnesota
My Grandfather would put his fish house out
on Mille Lacs lake every winter.
Positioned atop the ice/snow... -20* at night, propane tank placed outside.
Slept in it many a night on the big frozen lake.
Erie to listen to the ice contract/expand throughout the night...
options make for great... !? (and tho' not recent pictures, the status has not changed) *
* This is the earlier 6000lb Max C. I believe now they produce an 10,000lb Max C.
But I'll assure anyone that the 6000lb Max C. is rugged enough for 1/4 -1/2 ton trailers/operators/terrain.

Generally the wheel base measured from your hauler's rear axle to the trailer's axle
should be about the same measurement as the hauler's wheel base.
Mine was extended to add a different coupler (Maxx C.)
My original lunette was left in place as back up (Pintle hitch stowed on board)
I also...
thanks to all for the compliments...
sadly I haven't used the trailer much as of late.

the wiring harness is the original M100 harness
tho' it was slightly altered by its previous owner
to utilize a more current/common four wire plug connection

I believe he installed a air tank where the oem spare tire was mounted.
^ both are the Optima Yellow Top group 34/78 batteries.
I moved the cruise control bracket forward a coupla' inches.
And built a beefy Aux. battery hold-down, secured to the fender well.

I prefer the earlier design as it's less likely to get snagged while off road.
Yes... I've seen that occur
I read a thread somewhere, where someone made extensions to the upper portion of the lever(s) at the hubs.
and this raised the cable higher, allowing clearance for a 10 lf cust. spring...

convenient if the lid is easily removed for domestic chores...
anti migration for a RTT's content... means easier access and less hassle ;)

I have no issue or real concern...
I changed the wire end crimp to the appropriate size. (actual end crimp)
It's smaller and lighter... the wires don't really abrade each other... even tho' they share the same seat.
From what I've observed, only one wire has tension on it and the other...

I really like the sharing of your off road video (H.O.T.)
I've pulled muh m100 thru some similar stuff.

A couple things I observed...
thanks for the info and links... can't imagine shipping on plate steel is going to be cheap.
I really need find a local resource. ID and IL are not local friendly.
