I broke one of the bezel mounting screws on my M101A3 tail light, and also want to replace the foggy-looking lenses with new plastic. Where can I purchase individual parts for these lights? Craig

Thanks Martyn. Your "mapping" DOES match up to the top portion of the image above, though. I just found it odd that the junction box lined up differently. I'll rearrange the wires/terminals in the box according to your notes. Craig

First of all, my vehicle is a 2005 Wrangler Unlimited with a factory Mopar hitch & 7-round plug. My trailer is a '93 M101A3 with the original military lights that I already swapped 12V bulbs into. I checked the service manual for the M101A3, and determined which wires routed to which function...

Thanks. Actually, I wouldn't be using independent suspension (trailing arms), but rather a standard straight axle with a 3-link set-up, most likely. SO, the center clearance will actually decrease - not a big deal given my intended purposes for the trailer. I did check with my local driveline...

And here are the pics of the starting point (the bows & tarp are in the bed, as it won't fit under the garage door opening when installed...drat). First on the agenda is getting the wiring hooked up (retaining the stock tail lights), and fabricating a 2" receiver mount in front for use with my...

I love the folding rear gate/ramp design! Nice work.

Sorry about that...just updated my profile. I have been in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area since '97. Craig

I love the build! BTW, I just noticed you're from Northern Indiana, Tight_wad. I grew up near Elkhart/South Bend...are you anywhere close to there? Again, nice job. Craig

After countless hours planning, gathering parts, planning some more, and running into a few "road blocks" with my original utility/camping trailer build plans, I decided to road-trip to Kentucky this past weekend and pick up a M101A3 trailer to use as a basis for my utility/camping trailer (I...

Where are you from, and how hilly is it? I'm a big single speeder/fixxie guy (haven't own a geared bike for years). When I shopped for bikes for my girls, I ended up standardizing on lightweight Redline BMX bikes. They're simple and light (we're on the 3rd Redline now). Granted, we're in...

Very nice XJ!!! You should consider some JCR Offroad armor. I have seen them in-person...VERY impressed with the quality/detail. Craig

Looks sweet!

That would have been ideal and a little more visually pleasing, but to use the stock shackles with the Waggy front springs (used in the back), I needed to have the short end of the spring in front of the axle (the bushing widths front-to-rear were different). The wheelbase was ~96.5" - a couple...

That's the "standard" front end on CJ-10 pick-ups, and CJ-10a aircraft tugs. I still have a mint-condition '10a grill left over from one of the ones I owned. I'm not sure yet what I'll be doing with it...wall art, future project, possibly sell (???). Craig

I have owned two CJ-10as, and shortened a M-416 bed for use on mine. The width was much better suited to the CJ-width tub, IMO. I do like the look of the M101 bed, but it should be narrowed to look right, IMO. Mine both had the Nissan SD-33 motor. They ran well, but they're horribly...

I was just going to ask if you were the same Spudy from greatlakes. I remember seeing your CJ build-up a while back. :sombrero: You know where to find me if you want to talk about some trailer parts. I'm interested to see what design you come up with. Good luck! Craig

Welcome to the forum, Spudy. :victory: <shameless_plug> I'm only about 40 minutes away from you. I originally planned on scratch-building a trailer and have been accumulating parts, but am fairly certain I'm going to buy a used military trailer instead. Once you figure out for sure what...

That's my buddy Matt's Jeep. If you had questions about the trailer, you could contact him through the www.gr8tops.com website (he owns the company). I'm sure he'd be happy to answer a few questions about the trailer set-up. Craig

Martyn - What are the final outside-to-outside measurements for the design (length & width)? I'll be custom building a bed for my trailer, and while the sides won't taper in at the bottom like the 416 (they'll be straight), I'd like to build to the same upper rim dimensions, and have the...

Really? Nobody has this measurement? :coffee:
