My build thread...sorta, as I didn't built any of it. Just picked up my M101 (which I bought a couple years ago and have only used for garbage runs) from Jason at Cruisin Off Road. I requested him to fab up a lid and tailgate for my trailer so I could remove some things from my 81 which I have been keeping packed to the rafters.
I need to paint all the new parts up after I primered them up this evening, and get some paint on the trailer as well finally. The PO had started to strip it for some reason and I have yet to finish what he started, or start what he didn't finish...
So the lid is on and just now need to move my RTT off the 81 and onto the trailer. Be nice to get of that brick up there.
I had Jason leave the frame across the tail gate to keep things stiffened up, but the brace is also removable should I ever have need of accessing something large through the tailgate one day.
It has 3 adjustable legs to keep the tent rocking to a minimum (when things get frisky) that store nicely up out of the way for transit. I'll be sealing up the tailgate and lid to keep dust out as much as possible.
I had Jason also add in a 2" receiver on the back and a mount for the spare tire on the front of the trailer.
Future plans are to add some brackets fore and aft of the fenders for storage of fuel or whatever. And one of these days some kind of storage system inside, but for now it will be packed with action packers.
I'm thinking of trying to paint match it with whatever colour my 81 is, which is not OEM.
