    PBColt M101A2 Basecamp Build

    Thought it was about time I make myself a build thread. My fiancée and I picked up a 1984 M101A2 off of Craigslist. Didn't get a steal of a deal, but for $900 considering the trailer came in great condition, was already plated/registered and the seller included a nice Curt hitch, a lunette and...

    Brake help please!

    From Dexter FAQ: BRAKES - Why can't I lock and slide my electric brakes? On an unloaded trailer, you may be able to lock up your brakes if your electric brake controller is supplying full amperage to the brakes. When loaded to capacity, you may not be able to lock your brakes as electric brakes...

    Propane Tank Locations? Exterior Only?

    I wouldn't be too concerned if the trailer is open, but with an enclosed trailer you wouldn't want to run the risk of a leaking bottle building up gas in a confined area.

    M101A2 Leaf Spring Replacement

    Noticed that the ends to two of my leaf springs are broken (see third leaf from the top in picture). I see dexter sells some 3500lb springs, but the price point makes them seem too good to be true. They would only be $140 or so compared to $600+ for a new set of custom leaf springs. I will be...

    Motion X GPS HD v21 released

    Does Drive include forest service roads? N or S roads for example in California? I guess I was hoping that Motion X GPS could at least plot a route for you because it "knows" where roads are.

    Motion X GPS HD v21 released

    Maybe someone can help me out here... I'm trying to use this app for the first time this weekend to give me a route to a campsite and track my driving around. I have the campground waypoint set, but when I hit 'navigate' it just gives me a 'as the crow flies' navigation. That will be great...
