My new M101 CDN

Hey all,

I picked this up yesterday, the owner was 5 hours away but was coming near my home so we met about an hour from my place. Condition of tub is great, my first task is going to be getting the parking brake working. Once that's done I plan to tear her down, straiten out the fenders, strip the paint and repaint it a black/grey/white camo.

Has anyone ever used a bedliner on the exterior of the trailer? I was planning on going with a non-textured black bedliner and then adding the camo pattern over that and then a clear coat.

Anyways here are the pictures:

In the future I want to change over to a 5x5 bolt pattern hub to match my Jeep Wranglers wheels. I will probably end up doing an SOA as I want to fit 35" tires on her when shes done.

Anyways I've been researching electric trailer brakes a bit. If when I do the hub swap would I need anything in addition to these to do the 5x5 bolt pattern with electric brakes?

I'd like to keep the stock parking brake if that's possible as well.

Nice trailer. Good find, pretty rare to find them in good shape and close to home! I love the parking brake on mine, I literally use it all of the time. I am also swapping in electric brakes soon.

If you were closer I'd trade you my M416 for the 101. I have a Land Rover and can't bring myself to swap out the old bolt pattern axles.
