Corner jacks and an adjustible hitch Very nice!
Like the short bows. Custom top?

What did the landing gear weigh?

I will get a custom canvas top. The landing gears are removable and weigh about 25 pounds each.

74CJ5, where did you find the racks that you used. Do you have the make and model number?

Do a search on eBay for truck rack. It's around $85 shipped. Heavy duty and adjustable to the width of your trailer. How wide is your M105?

Oasis Trailer

Oasis trailer and the jeep. Sorry for the link I could not figure out how to get picture in post. I hope the link works. Just wanted to let everyone no the trailer is still alive and on the forum. Thanks Jim (I am not sure why the photo is cropped, I could email photo to someone if they want to help. )

Thanks nwoods, I'm sure you have a soft spot for LJs! I can't wait for spring to put it to use. From the pic you linked from our photo bucket you can see I needed somthing with bigger tires behind the jeep!!!! Your LJ is very nice as well.

first trip with the new trailer. Chattahoochee National Forest. This little trailer pulls smooth, holds lots of camping gear and firewood. Time for a spring over though- as I had a few clearance issues.

Thanks, I have a 78 Datsun truck bed that I was thinking of building into an Expo trailer and having not seen many was not sure that was the way to go but yours looks good so will keep thinking down that line.

I picked up the m105 from painting today. Here are some pictures. And yes it rained hard so the bed looks a little drippy.


I started doing research on axles as recommended and I have spoken with two places that say they need to build a custom axle. I want a 7k with a Chevy 8 lug wheel pattern Is there a recommendation in this regard as to where to loom for axles or who anyone recommends?

I'm curious what you are planning to tow it with? I've read that the 105's can be a bit much for a 1/2 ton pickup. I'm not criticizing....just curious. I have a 416 and am going to be picking up a m101a2 in the next couple of weeks.

Jevy, the 105s are heavy. I drive a 3/4 ton suburban and I am installing electric over hydraulic breaks. I very happy with the performance and the way the trailer drives along. The 105 is definitely not for smaller vehicles. Based on my research and set up I think it will be quite bomber.

How is the trailer coming? More pictures?
How about this for a custom M105?

Bear and cougar cage under the cover and a RTT on top.
