M100 Jeep trailer Project

[7slotgrills]

I got the measurments from a guy online for the brake handle mount.

 

[7slotgrills]

The brake mount is not the right size, but I wanted to get the Handle
mounted. Here is a picture.

I tow with both my CJ7 and my TJ. My CJ7 I have the trailer plug in the rear
bumper, on my TJ It was mounted below the hitch. So I holesawed the bumper to fit the plug and now it' sout of the way. When I took the TJ off road I used to hit the bracket no any more.

Jeep Panels shipped my rear panel

I ordered a new rear panel for my M100 trailer. Jeep Panels sent it right out. I wasn't happy about the tailgate cut from the Gov't entity that had it before me. I plan on welding in the new panel and putting it back as original. I tried out the 15 inch chrome rims with 10.50x15 tires. Quite a bit sticking out past the original fenders.Hmmm---

M100's came with 4" rims. I run 6" rims on my M100.
The 6" rims are from a 70's CJ5.

 

[7slotgrills]

Sorry I meant 16" x 4" rims and I run 15" x 6" rims on my M100.
You got to paint them Olive green. Crome just does not go.

 

[7slotgrills]

I got some spring hangers from a 416 and drilled 2 1" holes in the sides to look
like the M100 spring hangers.

 

[7slotgrills]

I found out the springs are to long on my M100. I think they are for a later model CJ. 41" and it should be 36 1/4". I've got a plan to work on it this
winter.

 

[7slotgrills]

I got greaseable spring bolts from Crown Automotive they deal in Jeep parts.
I might get some New Springs or use my buddys old ones that are the right size.

I'm taking my CJ7 apart to replace the frame I'm thinking of painting it the same olive green as my M100.

I'm taking my CJ7 apart to replace the frame I'm thinking of painting it the same olive green as my M100.

I vote YES.

What did you do with the tailgate? I've got a BTC3 with a bent gate, thought this might be the perfect replacement if you still have it and the dimensions are the same.

 

[7slotgrills]

All my CJ7 tail gates are on my trailers.
I traded in my 01 TJ for a 05 Rubicon my new tow rig.
I'll have to get some pictures up as to what it looks like now towing
the M100.The side steps are now gone.

Here is some pictures of my 05 Rubicon and my M100 trailer
