Hi in Oct 07 I picked up a M100 Jeep trailer . It needed work and still does
I 've been working on it and posted some pictures.
www.7slotgrills.com/m100project.html These Jeep trailers are great
and a lot of history.

You have probably seen these, but here is a link to some photos of my '46 Bantam civilian "jeep" trailer. They may give you some ideas.

now that im building my own trailer, i wish i just bought one. old military ttrailer seems the way 2 go.

[7slotgrills]

The Military has built these trailers right and they are a great find.
If I did not find my M100 I would have looked for a M416 They are allways on Ebay.

I welded in a CJ7 tailgate and I'm bidding on a Camo tarp for it on Ebay right now! Can't wait for spring time.

If you are looking for a camo tarp for your Jeep tailer try
Surplus Canada. Mine on the way can't wait. I welded a CJ spindle on a axle tube and then mounted a 6 bolt hub took measurments and have the other side almost done.

Got my Jeep trailer camo tarp from Surplus Canada yesterday.
It's snowing so I have not put it on yet . Heavy tarp made for the Military
this is going to look great on my M100. I don't know how to post pictures here but If you go to www.7slotgrills.com/m100project.html you will see
the tarp on a M101 from Canada and I will post pictures on the tarp on my M100 soon.

I installed 2 fiberglass bows inside my M100 Jeep Trailer and
put the NOS Camo tarp on .I don't know how to post here. But I've got
pictures up on my site.WWW.7slotgrills.com/m100project.html

I picked up a receptacle cover today for my M100 Jeep trailer at a Military show in Lowell, MA. Got it from Peter Debella. www.dellajeepparts.com
He's got a lot of Military and Civilian parts new and used.

Sorry about that. THANKS

I picked up some Krylon Camouflage 4293 Olive paint today.
It's non reflective and dries in 15 minutes. I painted the front of my M100 to see what it looks like. I like it better then the crap army Green RustO paint I first painted the box with. LOL

[7slotgrills]

I welded up some cracks in the front of the bed not bad for the age.
Still waiting for some nice weather to get out there and piant the bed.

[7slotgrills]

I finished welding up my NEW M100 axle, got some new Ubolts and put her in. I used Stage 8 locking jam nuts. I sell them and they work great .They will never back off. They were made for dana 44's but work on the Jeep's 6 bolt hubs from a Dana 30 same as the M100 hubs.

[7slotgrills]

Now I find out that the spring hangers are from a Early Jeep CJ.
Someone over time took the M100 ones off. If anyone has a set please let me know or where I can get some.

I have a late 40's vintage Bantam 3C jeep trailer that I am fixing up. Mine is used for camping trips and pulls great behind my 96 ZJ and 84 CJ8. One of these days I want to make a rack for it so I can haul my small fishing pontoon boat on top of gear stashed below in the trailer bed. The first thing I discovered about these old trailers is that the left side has left handed lug nuts and the right side is right handed. I found out about this the hard way and ended up having to replace the left side lugs after stripping several of them. Wish I knew where to find the correct lug bolts to replace the ones I messed up.

Wow...that's so British! Lots of old British cars had that feature. It goes back to the days of knock of nuts in the center of a spoked wheel. This was supposed to help prevent them from loosening up due to road vibrations. Kind of a concern when you only had one big nut holding the wheel on. They carried it over to the lug nuts when they started using them.

You might try a vendor that specializes in old British cars for those nuts. It may just be easier to switch the studs though.

[Slacker]

Lots of the Dodges/Chryslers from the early to mid sixties had left hand lug nuts as well...

I'm most likely buying an M416 trailer this week. I don't know that it will ever be as clean as yours, but maybe one day...

My M100 has the short spring hangers so I added 2" tubing on top of the front spring hanger this gave it the lift that I needed. I just painted the Bed with POR. www.7slotgrills.om/M100project.html

[7slotgrills]

I had a set of factory 6" Jeep rims just painted them Krylon Olive Green.
I used a spray can and a hand adapter from Walmart those things make to paint like a pro!

[7slotgrills]

It's called the Rust-Oleum Spary Grip " Turns any spray cn into a spray
gun" I picked mine up at Wal-mart.

[7slotgrills]

Are the ID numbers under the left front spring hanger on a M100?

[7slotgrills]

I wanted to get some paint on my M100 bed that I painted with POR15.
I found Dark Olive at Home Depot from RustO. I like it better then the army green but I think the Krylon 4293 Olive paint looks better. I found out I can get it in a QT.
