Nice wiring job man. I love the way the trailer looks in white too.
Thanks, I'm really happy with how it's coming along. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to add a rack for the rooftop tent...

Nice paint and wiring !!! Why would someone switch out the axle and wheels? Is it a weight thing? I ask because I just bought one of these from a guy in Santa Rosa and I have plans of towing it behind a jeep JKU. These are not light even before you start adding racks and things. But they do track well behind a rig.
Hey guys,
I live in Colorado and need some advice on an off road trailer with roof top tent. I enjoy camping and fishing remote lakes. I have a 2001 4 runner. I have access to a metal and machine shop. I have looked on CL hoping to find used army trailer but the ones I have found are garbage and they want an arm and a leg for them. Therefore, I have decided to buld one.
Took the trailer out for it's first shakedown run, just a quick overnight up on Mt. Ord in Arizona. Trailer tows like a dream. The Xterra has plenty of power to tow it, I think its rated for 5000lbs, and the trailer might be 1500lbs loaded up. It was a little bouncy in some sections of the trail, but I did air down which helped. I do need to track down some shocks for it.
These are the shocks I put on my M116A2 (same frame and axle as the M101) yesterday. Advanced Auto had to order them but they're an exact fit. A lot of things guys are using have to be modified to work but these just dropped right in.

Here you go. If you take your phone in with the pic they could probably scan the UPC for it.
