    Croix's Tent Trailer Build - something a little different

    The basic body and tent are perfect. With the new frame and axle you will have a very stout trailer. Look at some of the ideas in this build:http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/81818-New-old-trailer-build-1966-Apache-Raven-tent-trailer

    Centramatic Dynamic Wheel Balancers

    I just had tires mounted and the shop charged $7.99 each to balance them with tax that is close to $35.00 as they wear down they will need checked for balance and anouther $35.00 due. The dynamic balancers would pay for themselves fast.

    Centramatic Dynamic Wheel Balancers

    I watched the demo video and I must say it is a great produce. The 8 bolt set of 4 for $200.00 is not a bad deal either. I have ocd when it comes to vibrations from an off balanced wheel and nothing looks worse than a load of weights on my nice factory chrome rims. I am going to try a set when...

    Ground tent on a raised platform?

    The Awning on a stick was anouther cheap addition. I won it on ebay for a .99 cent bid with 9.99 shipping. I cut off the deck mount and welded it up to fit into a 2" reciever.

    Ground tent on a raised platform?

    I made a poor man's RTT with a deck of expanded metal and a 7 x 7 Coleman dome tent. It was cheap and works well so far. My build:http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/63713-Just-purchased-a-Military-trailer-to-build-a-family-hauler

    Educate me: complete drum brake overhaul (m101 cdn)

    Check the military trailer sites for a scamatic of the brake parts and numbers. The brakes are simple and if your parts are good, a tear down, clean paint and reassemble is all you need.

    FNG -- inspired to get an M101

    Nice score! I would focus on what you plan to do with the trailer. Full Expo, Excursion camper or just a support trailer with a couple cots under the cover? As for the surge brakes if they work keep them. Mine did not so it made the removal decision easy. Lost some weight on the tongue but as...

    Java's Mini Trailer

    I would use 4 hold downs on them in the slotted mounting holes. Go to the hardware store and get two sets of mower handle bolts with the big plastic handles. use carriage bolts from inside the tub so they don't turn.

    Project Time.. M101a1 picked up today

    Very nice looking axle swap. Could you use shorter grease caps on the hub or a 1/4" spacer to fit the caps? I used a 1/4" spacer on my 101A2 to make up for the thickness of the removed brake drum.
