minerjoe01 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 it has dual hand brakes and dumps well. Not sure on the bolt pattern. It has buckshot mudders on one side and the old military tire on ther other. I'd post a pic but my internet sucks bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azoverland Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Cool - that is the M101 I think. Early in the thread I said the M101A was a 1/4 ton but I was wrong it's the M416 that is a 1/4 ton. The M101a has a different lug bolt pattern.Here's a bit more info....http://www.olive-drab.com/idphoto/id_photos_m101_trailer.phpI wonder why they say here the trailer has a max speed of 15mph?

minerjoe01 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 15mph! wow. You got me that trailer pulls great with a huge load of wood on it. No wobble at all. I cant get it registered in the great state we live in. Dmv wont do it. Luckly i live close to the mountain, so i dont care. Nice info! There's a guy here in graeagle that has the old army power wagon that borrows it every year for the 4th of july parade. Looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azoverland Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Slight change of the original plans, Added side boxes. What respectable prospecting ole muley doesn't have saddle bags?Also we got the the SWEET Multi-Axis Coupler from Adventure Trailers installed. It's a great hitch but harder to hook up then a pintle or ball style. However it makes NO noise and does not bind up at all. It's got many great reveiws and last month of JP mag had a good write up and give it high marks. Also very happpy with the fit behind the Jeep. The Jeep will high center before the trailer will.Now to make the doors for the "Saddle Bags"..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can even get them at WallyWorld now.....http://www.walmart.com/ip/Zodi-Instant-Water-Heater-and-Hot-Shower/4698021Price has come down to. The pump and hose on the one I am installed on the trailer has been changed to an RV on demand pump and 3/8 auto heater hose. When you run the water in a cycle it can get really hot and melt the hose the heater comes with....no more hot shower then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camo??? nooooo....I said Camelion paint!!! How are you going to find it? Very nice build. You can certainly be proud of it and enjoy itafter all the work you've done.Thats the best part, building something and using it....knowing you saved money got the creative juices flowing, and made it yourself. Ive got some thoughts going on now after last weekend to make a rake for the back of my 4runner....drag off a lot of the overburden prior to drywashing.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azoverland Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 At last we got it out in the woods and went Nuggethunting with the trailer finished. Really enjoyed it and we meant a couple of other gold hunters too. I was really happy to see the solar panels putting more in the batteries then the led lights and water pump are taking out daily.
