    20" LED Light Bar, Rigid Vs. Baja Designs.

    I have 2 BD squadrons and (1) 10" BD bar on my Duramax 3500. They blow Rigid out of the water. They are also a white light and not purple.

    Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx

    I have the ST MAXX 275/70r18 E's on my 2012 Sierra 3500. They are a great tire and perform well in mud and snow. However, I am getting ready to offload them as I can't keep my alignment correct with them and their heavy weight is cause bump steering from hell. I have had my truck on the...

    Need advise on new bumpers for 2012 GMC Sierra 3500

    Alright, I am currently in the market for an all steel bumper for my 2012 Sierra 3500. My current is stock with a range hand grill guard, but both have lost my faith. After a small bumper vs. fence post incident with my truck, its time to replace the absolute garbage stock one. I have been...

    Looking for cheap ideas for rack system on M101A1

    I am currently looking for a cheap way to build a rack system over the top of my M101A1 trailer. My trailer currently has a modified cover over the top that raises 16in over the bed. I would like to build a basket over this cover for more storage. The problem is I don't have access to a steel...

    Pictures of "do-everything" trailers please!

    Here is a pic of my modified M101A1. On this one I did an axle swap (5200lbs), BFG AT's E rate 265/75/16's, custom 5 sided cover. I also welded up a simple basket for the tongue that will hold 7 jerry cans or a large cooler. I also added a large ammo can for a few small items...

    Bug out trailer

    Answer-- a metric ton of them depending on how you mount. That trailer is just an expo rig with a different name. It looks to be the size of a M416 which most use behind jeeps and smaller vehicles with less towing capacity. I run a modified M101A1 that has 10 scepter fuel/water can mounts...

    My M101A2, Camping utility trailer.

    Those axles are under rated and are heavy SOB's. I ditched mine off of my M101A1 and ordered a 5200lbs axle form ABC trailer. It cost me just under $220 shipped. The reason I did not go with the 3200lbs is he didn't make one with a 6 lug pattern. I had to bump up. I will never get even...

    M101A1 Trailer Build

    I am in the middle of building a M101A1 myself. Just swapped out the axle for a 6 lug 5200lbs with powder coated steel rims and BFG AT's 265/75/16 E's. I ordered the axle from ABC trailer and it was around $240 shipped. Your spring perch's should measure 43.25 at the centers. My axle bolted...

    Has anyone built a lid for a M101A1/A2/A3??

    I am looking at building a hard lid for my M101A2, but there is not much out there. From what I can find, nobody as done it and posted a AAR. I don't have use for the tarp and bows as it is like towing a brick down the highway. I had though about welding one up and having it skinned with...

    Military m101/m105 owners, what are you doing to make yours expedition ready?

    I looked long and hard for a M101A2 for the 8 lug and truck tires. I lucked out on GL and found a M101A1 across town at the National Guard Post for $350. I did an axle swap to get rid of the large budd rims and tires. I ended up with 6 bolt hubs, 265/75/16 BFG AT's E rated and steel black...

    1x1_Speed_Craig's utility/camping trailer build_v2.0

    I just did an axle swap on my M101A1. I ended up with a #5200lbs axle from abc trailer that had 43.25in spring perch centers with 66in hub face. It fit perfectly. Hub distance was spot on

    M101a1

    Don't rely on the surge brakes of the M101A2's and A3's. They suck on snow and ice and are fricken dangerous. Trust me, if you want brakes on these trailers, do the axle swap and get electric brakes. I spent quite a few years hauling them around. I have run my M101A1 with no brakes for...

    M101a1

    I say do a one off build and steal your ideas from other builds. People complain that they are too heavy. They are the ones that own POS jeeps that won't pull a 4in tree stump. In all seriousness, the 416 is just to damn small. They fill up quick and don't leave you with much room. The...

    M101a1

    It is slim picken's on trying to find a build on one of these. I have been searching for the same info, but have come up empty handed. I also own a M101A1, but am not doing a full blown expo rig. I have searched around a bit and "aquired" some idea's from other M416 builds. I just plane to...

    Has anyone built an Expedition rig from a M101A1/A2

    Same here. That is why I asked the question. I haven't seen anyone use that platform yet, but I am looking fo ideas. A M416 is just too dang small for what I need. I picked up M101A1 for $400 and fmy first plan is to ditch the mil axle and tires (Budd rims) and convert to a #3500lbs axle and...

    Has anyone built an Expedition rig from a M101A1/A2

    Thought I would pose this question. I do understand why the M416's are so popular. They are light weight and easy to pull down narrow trails. The M101's seem to be turned into yard debris trailers instead of anything else. However, has anyone used an M101A1/A2 and a starting point for...

    Load D or E tires for expedition M101A1 trailer

    I am considering the breaks, but I am not completely sold on the fact that they will be needed. I am not a jeep guy and I don't not do trail rides. This trailer will be pulled mainly by a 2009 crew Chevy 1/2 or 3/4 ton truck. This trailer will be mainly used for hunting from place to place in...
