    M101A3 questions/ build thread

    I grabbed this baby wooden skid for when I shower. Nothing worse than standing in mud while you shower off. It measures about 2'x2' pal1 by steve rogers, on Flickr

    M101A3 questions/ build thread

    Made what I consider to be a pretty cool mod: Made a shower/toilet enclosure. Bent a piece of 3/4" Electrical Metal Tubing (EMT). I installed 1" brackets on the roof of the unit so the pipe would slide in easy. Bought a shower curtain and some rings. Total investment of about $20. obviously I...

    M101A3 questions/ build thread

    Update, finally got the RTT and awning mounted. I had a nice ladder rack on the topper already. However two aluminum welds had broken. It all worked out because the tent would have been mounted a bit too high anyway. So I removed the ladder rack and used the square tubing from the rack as a base...

    Found very heavy duty tent stakes at Home Depot

    I have been meaning to get a couple of workhorse tent stakes for windy situations. Kept putting off going to the local Army/Navy supply. Was bumping around Home Depot and came across this stake. Cost was $3.50. I put it next to a standard size spray paint can for size reference.

    Off Road Trailer build for my JKU

    Your design is impressive. I really like how the deck flares out at the front and back of the wheels.

    Portable battery recommendations

    OK, so it is clearly good at short time/high draw bursts. Is it good at charging tablets and the like?

    Portable battery recommendations

    Looking to run some LED lights at camp, and the usual recharging of tablets, phones, and rechargeable flashlights. I would like a battery I can recharge from the vehicle while driving. Size is not really a concern since I typically "car camp".

    Portable battery recommendations

    With the every changing technology in batteries, I am having a hard time deciding what to go with. I am looking to spend about a hundred bucks. I keep flip flopping between one of those portable car battery jumpers and a large portable USB battery. I am leaning toward the car jumper because in...

    Your thoughts on my M101 security idea

    Redeth005, great post. I like the "sleeve" you designed so nobody could put a male into the trailer hitch. While I do not have your fabrication skills, I am sure I could make one using stock steel channel. That combined with the locking pin is an additional security feature that would only take...

    Your thoughts on my M101 security idea

    As the title suggests, I have an M101 trailer. Between the trailer, the topper, the RTT, the Awning, and my assorted camping gear, I probably will have $8,000 sitting on wheels, completely unattended. The trailer has a locking truck cap on it, so my gear should be pretty secure. My security...
