A little more info with a question... The factory JK wheels have an offset of 44.45 mm or 1.75". The steel winter wheels have slightly deeper offset at 47.3mm or 1.86". Seems trailer spindles like a 0 (zero) offset to .5" to center the wheel between the bearings and bias toward the inside...

Take a look at m101a2 trailers. They have mostly inside the box wheel wells. They are oddly only 45" between the wheel wells but the overall box dimension is 65" interior width by 96" length. The m101a3 still has partially inboard wheel wells but is much wider (55" between the wells) but the...

I am having a hard time bringing myself to install a 3500 lb axle on my m101a3. Seems common place to install a narrower axle then add wheel spacer to clear the hub. So what are the thoughts of using a 5200 lb axle to get the larger brakes and spindle in a 6 lug version and use adapters to get...

Dang, I was worried it would look that cumbersome to put up/take down. That said the worst part looks to be the added awning which is part of the appeal for me as it is a nice large 'dry' area immediately outside the tent entry. It seems to me that the RTT options and even a FoxWing awning...

https://cascadiatents.com/shop/trailer-tent/ Seems every time I search these type of tents I get different results- even from the same manufacturers. I am looking for a tent to fit on top of my M101a3 that has the ability to support 2 adults, 2 teenagers and 2 dogs. Or two adults comfortably...

Pretty sure most all aftermarket wheels that are NOT hub centric will fit. Otherwise get some spacers, seems what most people do for running factory take off wheels.

I have a Brawler lite on the front and a brawler rear bumper with tire carrier(all bumper mounted) I like them, have used them extensively and have yet to damage beyond the powder coating which I cannot recommend as it flakes off and isn't easily touched up. i like the simplistic/functional...

When I assumed I was going to get a M101a2 I had planned to cut out the wheel wells and move them out for the same reasons you mention. I cannot answer the axle question but seems most folks try and end up with a 64" WMS width using a 62" axle and spacers to allow factory wheels with the...

Using specs for my JKU and my M101 in current state, the calculator link I posted above states my trailer will track 35" inside the radius of my jeeps rear wheel on a full circle. Not too bad, I don't think, it was interesting playing with the numbers. For example, lengthening the tongue 5"...

Anyone seen this calculator? Have any merit? You can use Inches instead of millimeters. Seemed interesting but maybe overboard? http://toxiccelery.co.uk/Offtrack/The_Calculator.html Thanks for the responses so far, I have read several threads but still feel it's guesswork. I can already...

Does anyone know a formula or some sort of calculation to find the optimal tongue length? I see several builds or adv production trailers with extended tongues. I am building a m101A3 to follow behind my JKU. I have zero off road experience with this combo but can say in stock form this...

Good timing, another M101A3 build being towed with a JKU. Maybe I missed it but what axle/WMS width are you looking for? I assume not matching the JK due to the A3's 55.5" wheel well width. I have been contemplating cutting and pushing the wheel wells in for a 49" width to allow for the JK...

Yes, just in practice I found it to be problematic. Might be why fusible links are used on the alternator lead. A reset fuse is a good idea, I think I might have ended up with something similar.

Do yourself a favor and get a couple spare fuses and increase the amp limit to 170-200. During heavy loads the slightly higher amp than 'max' alternator output will blow. I did the same thing and limped back to Moab twice before upping the fuse amp rating dramatically, then never a failure after...

I went with HIDProjectors.com HIDs. The last thing I want to worry about is pulling over to clear my headlights off in a snow storm at night. I see several JKs with the LEDs that look like they are running projectors as only a small portion in the middle of the light is projecting light though...

Wondering the same thing. I like the mounting but would like option to use a larger rack such as the Maximus-3, AEV, Rhino. Would be interested to know if the t nut spacing on the hard top mounts would accommodate horizontally mounted rails. I've resisted a rack for several years now but see...

If you're looking at reliability and easy to fix an XJ is hard to beat. A stock XJ will yield 15-22mpg. Not sure about the ZJ. Several of the ZJs components I am not a fan of such as the 5.2l v8, Chrysler transmission 44re I think, NP249 t case, CV axle joints and front driveline, Aluminum d44...

I haven't built it yet but I will be building a platform in the rear cargo area of my JKU so that gear can be stored below and the dogs will sit above. I am also looking at making a platform to ceiling storage compartment on the drivers side for over flow items yet still allow area for the dogs...

Most auto part stores have code readers that will read the stored code for free. I don't have experience with your specific issue but the code will help you research a potential fix.
