I had an itch to find a milsurp trailer for the last couple of years and found this forum through my 'net searches to learn more about these trailers. So, I've been lurking and readying but haven't posted here, until today. I've been really inspired by many of the projects on display, here! You guys have some amazing talents and skills to do these things yourself!
A couple of months ago, I finally worked out a trade with a buddy to acquire an M101A2. Now, I just have to figure out where my priorities are for the trailer project. For example, these are some of my plans/wishes:

A couple of months ago, I finally worked out a trade with a buddy to acquire an M101A2. Now, I just have to figure out where my priorities are for the trailer project. For example, these are some of my plans/wishes:
- Should I convert the trailer to match the hubs of my Dodge or if I should convert the Dodge to match the hubs on the trailer?
- Should I follow Mr. Harley's lead in removing the brake system from the trailer entirely or converting it to electric brakes?
- Should I put preserving/repainting the chassis & tub as a higher priority?
- Is there any point in preserving the military trailer connector or should I just cut it off and change it to a standard civilian market connector?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
