Family Photos...
 
Since everyone else is showing pics of their family, I figured I'd take some of my truck next to my wife's in the driveway....


And we can't forget the M101A2 trailer in the family either.....

Well, if you want a trailer just like mine, they can be had for as low as $450.

Yes, that's right, a M101A2 8 lug trailer, with bows, rails, good floor, and little rust for $450.

You just need to do two things.

1) Get yourself a pintle hitch, like one of these:

2) Go to College Station, Texas, and grab one for $450 from Mullins Jeep Parts.

Yes, the web site says $900. Brent wants them gone. He had about 30 left a couple of weeks ago. See this discussion:
http://www.g503.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=61019&sid=cc5e7dc9e46233738b41324d 11071c08

Now all I have to do is finish the paint job with CARC 686 Tan (it's got black primer now so that I can see what needs more paint), and 2 16.5" rims with 38's, and it's set.

Hehe...she actually beat me out in the parts breakage category with the H1 until this year, when I blew a front diff and 2 halfshafts in one outing.

Good thing I have a spare diff and tons of halfshafts!!! :)

You can actually piggyback two trailers onto each other. All you need is some 1x1 metal pieces that are about 3 feet long, take the side rails off, put one piece in each stake hole, turn the trailer over, and piggyback/turtle one trailer onto the other.

Ratchet strap 'em down, you're set!

Take about 100 bucks in paint and another 100 bucks in RhinoLiner, and you would be able to sell the trailer for at least double....if you wanted to sell it.

Oh - bear in mind that these trailers did have at one time a problem with the drawbars breaking during high speed (exceeding 15mph) off roading. Be aware of that.....
