M101A2 Trailer Purchase & Project

[TexasFJ]

I have another thread going at FJ Forums but will keep one here too.

Based on Harley's M101 build thread I've bought an M101A2 and am going to build it up in a similar fashion.

I guess I picked the right trailer as it went for the highest amount in the auction... but still a good deal.

I'm waiting on an invoice, which should hit tomorrow, then I'll probably head down to Fort Hood next Friday to get it.

As soon as I get it back then I'll order up the new axle and adjustable hitch pieces, etc and go from there. I bought a wheel/tire combo yesterday, brand new, probably a spare, for 140.00 (matches my FJ), just need one more.

Dont toss them sides.. Them are composite and very much desired. Clean looking trailer. I think you may be surprised once you pick it up.
Welcome to the Dark side..

Still waiting on EUC to clear.

If it is your first EUC expect to be at least 2 weeks and closer to 30-60 days. I just picked mine up end of September and now waiting on funds to do the basic mods to it. Each subsequent EUC will clear faster.

GL and EUC's Suck, expecially if it your first. GL and keep us posted.

Still waiting on EUC to clear.

I purchased a M101A2 from GL on September. An I did not need an ECU. But I got mine straight from the Depot and I guess rules are different depending where you get the trailer from. I won my Auction on a Thursday and I pick my trailer the Tuesday the week after.

I'm in no hurry per se, but with Christmas and the pending birth of my boy around the first week of January I might get in to a jam getting this bad boy picked up. Hopefully it will happen well before Christmas...we shall see.

Your first child?

Your first child?

Well.... no, I have a daughter that turns 23 on Jan 10 from my first marriage. Remarried last August, she's never been married or had kids, 14 years younger than me and now she's giving me my boy! On January 10 no less...

EUC cleared almost 2 weeks ago, was scheduled to go to Fort Hood last Friday but GL called and said the Guard killed all Friday pickups until January, so I'm going in the morning to get mine. I'm overloaded with tools and what not but hate to be unprepared, 5 hours worth of driving.

I'll post up some pics when I get back.
