M1101 Trailer Project

[SamM]

sgthawk,
Actually, I was rather proud of myself for thinking to do that and I have seen it here several times since. That's the way this forum works, find what will work the best and get as many ideas as you can before jumping into it. My build has taken so long that I'm getting a much better trailer after seeing different solutions and builds.

By the way, I love your build! Great work!

All things change...

Had to put the project on hold for a bit, then got the call to go back to Afg. So am going to sell the rig and all accessories. Trailer, tires, water tanks/pumps, RTT, generator, tankless water heater, etc. In southern Indiana if interested. Updated photos available by request.

This was my solution for dropping the pintle hitch on my Schutt LQG trailer. It is very similar to the M1101. I added a receiver mount below the original steel drawbar. It was reinforced with steel plates and Grade 8 bolts but I still need to get it welded for extra insurance.

An adjustable pintle mount makes it easy to level for any vehicle. The best part of this modification is that I can use any trailer hitch system that I want now. Both my Jeep and the trailer have the same receiver mounts. The original military TorFlex axle was replaced with a Timbren Axle-Less suspension. With straight spindles this dropped the trailer even further. A big benefit of the Timbren is that the spindles are replaceable.

My solution was not expensive and this may give you some ideas. Great build!

Hello,

I would greatly appreciate if you can share details on Timbren Axle-Less suspension. What mods were needed to install Timbren? Was it an easy swap? Which Axle-less set up you went with? Any pictures you can share will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for tour time & effortsz

You can always call Timbren for advice. Always use crossbar bar.
