Default My M101 trailer built

One day surfing a forum i see a post about a M101 for sale. Originaly he was asking 1000$, then droped is price to 800$. the guy is 400 miles north of Montreal. Very far. So i offer 750$ delivered to my door. He says yes to my suprise.

So the planning started. Cover, tent, etc...

I still have my tires before i went to 33" i think they will fit nicely on the rims. The trailer is not rusted enough to justify a complete sandblast. I will brush it very good and spray one coat of epoxy primer and cover it with enamel the color of my hard top. My BJ is 2 tone.


When i got it; all lights for 24V. My rig is 24V








Working on the cover.







Fitted the 1800.





4x 250# cylinder does the job of lifting the heavy cover and tent.
