My favorite trailer. Nice purchase. Once you start building it is like the domino effect. Info on axle swap in here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/69410-M101A2-Trailer-Purchase-amp-Project/page3 They are a nice size behind the FJ.

Looks like a good choice. See what thinning instructions are on the can. If none start small you can always thin more. If you use the HF HVLP gun it is very forgiving. Post your results.

Great find. Military or civilian telephone service trailer Many made by FWD AUTO CO, Can't wait to see the build!

Don't cut it. Loosen the nose bolts and it will drop back into line. These trailers are not meant to be dumped, they just have a folding tongue for transport in cargo ships and air transport. dumping when loaded puts a strain on the angled spring hanger bolt.

Looking forward to another M101 build. They are great trailers and built well. My M101A2 build. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/63713-Just-purchased-a-Military-trailer-to-build-a-family-hauler

Looking at that last picture I vote for matching rims too.

Grimbo: Very nice find and a good price too.

The biggest problem with pop up trailers in my area is RODENT damage. Many people buy these trailers and store them inside but do not go the full way to deter mice getting in and destroying the canvas. One hole in the center of a canvas panel and it could cost a few hundred dollars to repair...

Very nice Tongue extension.

There is a blog about a HF trailer build like this. It turned out Awesome.

WalnutKing That is an excellent find. Great price Small size and sell the truck and make some kid happy.

If it is registered with plates and in Excellent condition it may be a good deal.

Looking very good!

That rebuild looks great! Very nice work!

Can't wait to see the full build. Looks awesome.

Awesome! It will be a great combo.

Nice looking truck, but that dealership dropped the ball on selling it to you. They should have cleaned it from top to bottom greased it, changed the fluids and then gave it to you.

HOW WARM IS A RTT?.........................Depends on what you made for dinner.

Wire brushed mine then painted them gloss black.

Cool build. Does it still have the S10 rear end? Will you be swapping the axle for a trailer version? Wider track may help.
