SOLD Washington State (or bordering states) - Military Trailer

Location

United States

I really like the idea of the M101A2, but I'm having a hard time finding one so I thought I'd reach out here first. Stock is fine. Even better if it has electric brakes and 12V lighting. Color doesn't really matter, but it would be great if it came with a canvas top and there's something about sandstone that I find appealing, especially when I imagine it towed behind my white/gold LX450. If you have something you're itching to get rid of in or near Washington, please let me know.

I'm also open to suggestions for alternatives, but I definitely don't want a tiny M416 or a heavy M105. Would consider M1101/M1102, but only if it's really nicely priced. I would also consider something in a more civilian category, if it's done right. I am ready to buy now as we're preparing for an overland trip through Washington to Yellowstone in July. Will need plenty of time to prepare the trailer with everything we need. My budget maxes out at $3K and I am not willing to spend a penny more at this point.

Something like this perhaps?

Yep, I love that. Would prefer the M101 for size, but that is what I would look for in a M1101/2. Where is it located?

Found an awesome M101A3 about 3 hours from my house! It's been inspected and well maintained mechanically and it was recently sandblasted, powder coated (where applicable) and painted correctly. It also has a brand new top. A little concerned about the 20 year old military tires, but they don't show any signs of cracking and there is zero wear. I'll definitely pick up a spare before taking it out on a long trip. The other huge advantage is that this one is actually titled and registered in Washington State. I talked to a bunch of people with trailers and none were titled in the previous state. Washington is weird about this. If you bring in an untitled military trailer with or without SF97, the DMV told me the state will not title it for road use. The only way they will is if it has a title from another state. This is what I was told on the phone and it may or may not be gospel, but it was enough to convince me to wait on a better option.

I towed this behind my '97 LX450 and barely noticed it behind me, except when climbing some of the hills on I5. Dropped out of OD then, but never to 2nd. It tows so much better than a U-Haul trailer. Can't wait to take it out with us on some of our camping trips and our major Yellowstone trip later this summer.
