[Bullgump]

Put it to use for deer season. And added some mud flaps when I got home. Hate digging mud out of crevices. Lol

Updated mine from a couple years ago. Its now a tested trailer. Had it out from MS to Colorado and Maine. Worked really well.
Dual hinged steel lid - 4 linear actuators lifintg our CVT Denali Summit RTT without a problem. 4 5000lbs kacks on the corner as stabilizers while parked, with locking mechanisms. Its been a fun project.

I like it! Nicely done. Maybe one day I will put some actuators on my build to raise and lower it.

A little chainsaw organization for the trailer. These Plano boxes are just perfect for all my trailer storage needs

Any info on the actuators you used? I've been building something like this in my head to add to my M101CDN.

I hauled air this weekend, but I did pull it out of storage to check the lights, grease the hubs, etc. - I will be using it to temporarily move out of our house next weekend for a kitchen reno.

I need to make a lid, getting tired of removing and reinstalling the tarp cover.

Another trailer.. I found this project trailer for sale a week or so ago. I offered him $200 (he was asking $500). Didn't hear back from him until yesterday and he accepted. I got it mainly for the independent suspension and the steel. Not sure what I'm going to do with the airbags yet. The suspension is going on my m116a1.

Another shot of my trailer.

 

[Bullgump]

I need to figure out how to attach Timbren independent suspension to my M1101 trailer. I bounced a little too much on last trip in Colorado.

I happy to say for the first time I didn’t put anything in the trailer. My son did all the loading solo.

Solid work for the young man

 

[Corbet]

Load number two in the books. Little more moisture and sap in one of todays trees. #Timbren makes a big difference.

Froze my tail off downstairs while my wife and kids were "hot" upstairs. I need to finish my side and rear doors for this thing.

Quick camping trip to local lake. Testing some of the added lighting and battery box to the setup:

so these are last summer, not today. but i was looking back at the photos today. think this is a bit different than i've seen from others posts.

so i turned my m101cdn into a 'boat trailer' for a fishing trip on the coast. carried a 13ft zodiac, inflatable kayak, 20hp outboard, a freezer, a generator, spare fuel, all boating gear, fishing gear including prawn and crab traps, extra tarps, extra food in freezer (then seafood for return), etc. not the heaviest load out i've subjected that old trailer to, but crammed to overflowing for sure. small trailer is handy when the ferry ride charges by the foot. not so fun backing up with it behind a full size truck. lol, good times

 

[Godwin]

Minnow traps and wet, dirty clothes after having set and checked minnow traps (using minnow traps to trap for aquatic salamanders. Towed the M416 around for 4 days doing this.

This picture is so very very much not today. I just happened to notice this thread because of the fresh post.And I don't think i've ever posted a picture of one of my M416s behind one of my rigs.
I'm not sure I have any pictures other than this one. It has been SOA'd but it's still just barely visible in the water as I come through that little channel crossing. But it's the only thing I had handy and I have always thought it looks kind of cool.

This was snapped during the Alaska Cruiser Trek 2003. In 2003 we headed out into the Eastern end of the Alaska range out near Tok. I was hauling some of the extra fuel for the group. 30 five gallon blitz cans in the trailer with one more on the standard can Carrier on the front side of the trailer.

About a 500 mile round-trip on the highway and about 300 miles covered from trailhead to trailhead.

As it always has, it towed like a dream and took everything I threw at it.

I flipped it and dragged it a very short distance a few years ago when I hit a bad bump while towing it empty, moving too fast on a rough trail. I was doing some contract work providing support for a Hollywood film production. Since they wanted us to do stuff that we really did not want to do with our vehicles, we were on a "We break it they buy it arrangement".

So, when I broke it and took it out of service, they paid to buy a second one that fortunately was for sale locally and we pushed on. A bit of repair work later on, which would have cost them more than what they spent to buy the second one, and I had two trailers.
