I dont want them to do anything other than quit cutting small features like oh-**** handles etc. They did add a decent size fuel tank in recent years and I am fine with my trouble free 13mpg. They have pretty much perfected the light duty p/u and should just leave it alone. Quit changing...

I would definitely want to try one out before spending 20K. My suggestion, get a military trailer and just run it as is for a while to see if you like dragging something behind you. If you decide to add a RTT, you could move it towards your new trailer if you decide to go that route. 1.5K...

Thanks for the info. Will hold off on it.

Was looking around on Amazon for a Partner 22" stove and saw this. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7YG8UE/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=IMJ5AK5554ZUP&colid=192V8XXFEEQM4&psc=0 Anyone have one? Comments? I have a 3 burner camp chef stove in my outdoor kitchen at home and have been pleased with...

I think the 1994 contract trailers had some issues. Main one being the aluminum draw bar. Some had MWOs. Can google for more info. I can post pics of the MWO tags later. 2004 trailers were all good. Dates etc could be off and might be some stuff in between. Just basing off memory, don't...

Congrats on the new traiiler. Post some pics

Thanks for the compliments. I am going to guess the axles start out at 7K rating based on tube diameter and lug pattern. Down rated for overhang and offset fab stuff. Have not cut one in half so I dont know for sure how thick the tube is. Lots of miles on it. Its a bit different because it...

I would go for the 4.2k. Doesn't take much to get to 3k of gear/materials. Definitely cross the 2.2 axle off. 1k of payload.... I recall reading that tortion axles do not like to be overloaded. I prob would have gone through several 3500 lbs axles on my trailer if I had one.

Nice country you have been camping in. I have shock info posted in my build threads if you are still looking. Before taking the drums to get turned, check to make sure the brakes on the warm side are not dragging because of sticky parking brake cable. You can adjust the lever and the shoes...

Even modified, it would probably be too much for your tow rig. Having owned 101s, 110x, and 105s at the same time, I think a 105 chassis would make a good base for a build if you had a 1/2 ton or larger tow vehicle. The width of all three are approx the same with the lengths varing some. I...

Windows do look nice. Is there enough room to swing the jack up for travel? I put mine in a similar spot and regretted it. On follow up builds I put the jack on the A-frame.

Bump with price drop

I would just get the E-rated. You tend to get more rubber for the money. Ride might be better with the C-rated but you can can air down the E-rated and they will hold up to to hazards better.

I think the military had a few made. Search for 101A3, 1101, 1102 trailers. They come with the wheels tucked inside the fenders though.

That is a different looking base trailer. Any pics of the data plate? The frame on the outside of the tub keeps the look of the 101AX, very nice. Impressive shop space you have there. Did you have to modify the rear stabilizer?

Looks fun. I will say that I have always learned something from a build so the next one is better. Rather than build both at the same time, may want to build one, then do the next. Looks like you have a nice shop. Can tell by the dress code you are in Texas.

No longer for sale

Looks good. Gutsy move doing all that painting first.

If it were me, I would pause and consider the cost/time to repair vs. building from scratch. Lots of rust/damage you will have to deal with and probably continue to deal with. By the time you are done, you will have spent a lot of time money. Might was well start off with a good foundation.

Nice build. After all that effort, why stop short with those fenders and coupler?
