I am absolutely considering that option. I wonder what all this a3 stuff is worth? Surge brake Pintle, raised axle, suspension and wheels and tires. I would consider selling the 4” a3 frame as well.

Thanks again for the info. Surprised I didnt find your thread prior. Looks like I may start from scratch instead of trying to reuse the a3 axle.

Great info thank you! Not what I wanted to hear but what I had assumed. Looks like 1/2” to me. What did you do for your spindles? Reuse the existing? I was hoping to use some 5200 lb ez line spindles from eTrailer but they have a 2.25” slug that was hoping to slide inside the existing tube.

Thanks, I have been trying to find out how heavy the axle actually is and the wall thickness of the tube. I can figure out a comparison on just the tube but need to know its thickness. If I start from scratch or have Dexter or someone build one 3" x 3/8 wall tube weighs about 63 lbs for a 72"...

Hello, I’ve been using my M101a3 for a couple years now in ‘original’ format. I have been very impressed with how it has worked despite its weight and size. I use this trailer being towed by my ‘09 JKU for a variety of utility tasks, from picking up rock, dirt, gravel and other yard materials...

Mentioned above is to get a compression and leak down test done. That will tell you where you’re at, at least for the cylinders and heads. Does it run quiet or have piston slap or knocks? I assume it doesn’t use or leak oil, how about oil in the air intake from the crank case ventilation system...

Nice, I've been looking for info on this. I found a YouTube video of someone using a wood stove in the awning of a OZ Tent. They had the pipe exit through the ceiling portion though. I am looking for these options for elk hunting in November.

A little late to this thread but I run my JKU in similar fashion other than having 3.5" lift. I initially voted for the AEV but quickly realized the 2.5" and changed my vote to OME as their coils at that height IMO are better suited for the extra load. For some reason the AEV 2.5 is softer...

Good to hear. Thank you!

How is the Monster liner holding up? Just built a platform and am considering similar but am worried it will start falling off in chunks like other products I have used like this on wood. Thanks! Looks great BTW

After years of going around and around on what would work or not I finally built a platform for the back of my JKU. It is partially to support two dogs while there are 2 kids in the back seat, partially to be a sleeping platform for one, maybe two eventually and also a way to separate, contain...

Very Nice!

Would think Xventure trailers are capable of 37s. I assume you're looking at a new custom trailer and not repurposing something like a military trailer? My M101a3 came with 37s but as mentioned a bit heavy ( and overkill durable) but maybe a M101a2 with a a3 leaf pack or lower bumpstops.

I just redecked my snowmobile trailer. I did a bit of research and ended up using 3/4" Marine grade plywood primed with a 3-2-1 Primer and painted with Waterproof Behr solid stain. A lot of research i found recommended products like Behr Deck over or Rustoleum 2x deck paint etc. I have had...

Ha being sick all weekend I just binge watched the whole lot. Good series for sure, I am really excited for Chile as I have been wanting to travel there and explore for a few years-maybe never return..

I have been using GAIA since probably the beginning, anyone remember when they got cut off from using maps through Trimble or whatever that was about? I was hesitant about the subscription model but the added layers are nice and understand things change and models must change to keep up with...

I don't have a lot to add here however a tunable brake controller would be nice so that you can tune or reduce the amount of braking force on the trailer. I towed my M101 out of elk camp this year on a mountain road with compact snow/ice and found the only nuisance to be the normally OK (mine...

Welcome. Must ask, what is the deal on the roof rack with the hose going to it?

Nice, is there a return or does it pressurize the interior and get make up air from the outside?
