I bought an M101A2 military trailer a few months ago. The canvas top was not what I wanted, so I removed it and sold it. I found a utility bed topper and it fit almost perfect (had to remove the tailgate). The surge brake system was weak -- it would lock when the pulling vehicle was stopping hard. I replaced the shock under the pintle (that job sucked btw).
I finally decided which color to paint it, and knocked out that project a few weeks ago. I had a local fabrication shop assemble the rack on top and just painted it today. I bolted the RTT and basket this evening.
Im quite pleased with the outcome, I wanted to contribute because I have trolled this forum and stolen some ideas.
