Anybody familiar with the Gov. liquidation trailer?

Looking to see if anybody has experience trying to build an jeep expedition trailer based on this army surplus ammo trailer?

mmmm it weighs 2750lbs ........empty

So unless your going to be using a large truck to tow it with ....no

Look for A 101A1 OR A2 MODEL. Them things are parachutes. I pulled a few with my truck and the width
of the trailer is 8 inches wider than most trucks, I found it hard to stop.

The M332 is not a good trailer for a Jeep. I wouldn't tow one with less than a full size truck. The trailers have air brakes. They're designed to haul ammo, which is very, very dense, thus heavy in small amounts. And they are larger than they look, I know of more than a few people with M35's who use them to haul their ATV's with cause they'll fit an ATV with no problem and are much lower slung than an M105 trailers. Definitely not a trailer to pull with a Jeep, less you have a V8.

I didn't see that info initially, but your right too heavy, way too heavy.

I picked up an M101A3 off Gov Liq. for $400 and worth every penny! It's a great platform for a trailer when it sits on 37" M/T's direct from the Gov! It's about the biggest I think you'd want to go, a buddy picked up a M101A2 at the same time for his Wrangler he loves it!

Yeah, that ammo trailer is just too much for pulling with a Jeep. Yesterday we did a little road trip with my buddy's M101A3 which is a little heavier trailer than I'd like, though the size of the box is great. We pulled the canvas top off for the trip and it still cut my mileage in half, though maybe that's because I was still driving 65-70mph, lol.

I'd look for an M101A2 model with the lighter axle and smaller tires simply because it would be lighter to pull. Those 37x12.50 HMMWV run-flat tires on the A3 are ridiculously overkill.

A ton of weight on these mil trailers comes from the axle itself. If you don't plan on loading it up with tons of stuff you can put a 3500lb axle or so under it and it will make it way more manageable.
