... No need to send an email, I'm right here! :) The latches are from an early FJ40, I had to grind them down to make them fit at 180 degrees (on the FJ40 they...

To all, I am looking for any pictures of stenciled markings on the trailers. I have some pictures of the ones I picked from at White Owl parts and one of the...
All I could find on mine was a black 78 on front driver side and it had been sprayed over with an OD paint that does not come off with thinner . One of the...
I think all that extra metal would be over kill for the reinforcement. It need something but that thick? I like the Tj idea, but you will be loosing...
Has anyone ran across a hitch that binds? Mine pops and makes all kinds of noise while turning. While backing up it will lock up and bind. Has anyone else...
IT is a 5 ton hitch. Bob ... From: M101CDN@yahoogroups.com [mailto:M101CDN@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Mark Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 8:18 AM To:...

Too much weight on the tongue. Swap the #2 pencil out for a #1 ;-) Can't really tell from the pic, but is there much room between the top clasp part of the...
Gabino, As promised, although a few days late :-) In the FILES/M101 PART DRAWINGS folder is a PDF with dimensions of the tarp for the trailer. I need to go...
Since we've been regularly getting 110+ degree temps here in Arizona I've noticed my trailer will ooze some black tar-like substance from the square tube that...
Yeah, mine is oozing too, in Phx. I was told it's ziebart (sp?). A popular form of rust prevention in the midwest-back east-up north. Maybe by the end of...
It leaks out here in Canada as well. It is basically tar that helps to rustproof the box sections. I doubt it will ever stop leaking in the heat. You'll vilely...
Mine is doing that, too!(PHX) It is ziebart but looks a little more environmentally friendly,more waxy/greasy than the staining tar i remember. Mine has the...

This is probably a dumb question but what direction should the tread pattern be facing, V forward or back? Even dumber, what is the reason for the obvious...
When I was in the military, I asked the Michelin rep about this very subject. The offical word is that it doesnt matter, as they are unidirectional. Other...
It is correct to have the point of the V hit first on a driven wheel in muddy terrain. It serves like a plows moldboard to move the soft material up and out of...
... Mark - Using your logic or explanation, wouldn't a trailer tire have a lesser tendency to hydroplane on hard wet pavement with the tread facing forward?...
Yes ,that would stand to reason. I would think you would not enjoy this benefit , however, due to the blocky tread design of the michelin X. Something more...
Good Morning, This is my first post so please forgive me if I screw it up. I am actively searching for an M101 to purchase. In the mean time I am dreaming up...
Hello Wayne welcome It can be done with a little work most of it is plug and play. In the pixs I have one of my M101 sprung over with 34s on it and the right...
Thanks Todd for the info. What size rim did you end up using? I would like to use a 15x7. I am unsure if a 15 inch rim will clear the brakes. Also, what width...
I think the rims on it are 7" . I do know the tires are 34x15s . The drums on the trailers are 12" so you'll be fine They do stick out a little but not bad...
