Military trailers...

[mr250twostroke]

got a M105A2 for free (thanks us74k5) and am curious what you may have done with yours if you've got one? I will most likely be swapping in an 8 lug trailer axle for the electric brakes and ability to use the same tires as my suburban but... am curious what you owners have done with yours? These things weigh in at approx 2700 lbs so i'll be shaving weight everywhere possible and thinking of using it as a multipurpose camping/expidition type unit. I dunno, wasn't looking for one but hey... starting off for free makes whatever mods I need to make easier to stomach. So lets see what you've done...
p.s. been searching steelsoldiers.com as well...

I have the smaller version, but you can check out what I did with mine at:

When I first got my trailer, I got some great ideas by just searching around for camping trailer, M416 camping trailer, etc. You should get some good ideas from what others have done.

Dustin, I'd build it like an old Apache tent trailer...


Something along these lines...

Here's a 1966 Apache... The one I posted above wasn't an Apache, but similar...
