M101 Trailer

Not really a build yet.
But hey, its going behind the Land Cruiser or Tacoma.
Picked up this M101 yesterday, not bad shape with the tailgate already cut out, both hitches 1,7/8 ball and stock Hook and claw and wired for 12V. Guy had the wrong tire on it, so he gave me two spare tires with it.
400$ :D
I learned to drive stick on the Iltis and learned to back trailers with the M101, but still this thing is hard to see behind the Taco. I think I am a pretty good trailer backer, but yeterday jack-knifed this thing into my Taco and dented my rear quarter panel. Oh well, stuff happens

Started sanding off the rust and will just paint it black for now. May do a full build up on it when I get time or need to mount the RTT to it. I like some of the ideas out there for a slide out kitchen and such. But for now it will carry the bikes and fuel while camping or long trips in the Cruiser.

Completed sanding (CARP) wore a mask. And put a first coat of Rust Paint on it. Going to rain tonight so pushed it next to the Land Cruiser for the night ( i think they will get along great :ymhug: ) Hopefully a coat tomorrow night, because I am going away for a month Thursday :( .
