Military Trailers
I am looking at getting a military surplus trailer. I see a lot for sale on govliquidation.com in the M1101,M1102, and A1,A2, and A3's. My question is what would be best for a JKU. I have heard the 1101 and 1102 are the exact same, but the 1101 is lighter being that its aluminum. So thats what I think I am leaning towards. I like the 101 and 416's, but they are to small for my liking, I want to be able to haul my four wheeler if I need to. So my main questions are is the 1101 a good match with a lifted JKU and what all is involved when buying one of these trailers from this site, I am in TN. Also do they have to be registered? Thanks

I helped a friend modify a 102. I was looking at them for a while but took a diferent route. The issue with Aluminum is that everything cost a bit more to do. Materials, welding, etc. But if you have no issues with that, then go aluminum. The benefit is lighter and less corrosion issues. Not sure I said anything of value, or more that the obvious.

i would like to get my hands on one of the aluminum ones (m1101 I think) but haven't been able to find one. i want to use it for a surf fishing trailer to pull behind the jeep and be able to haul a couple kayaks, a tent and all of our fishing gear.

I ended up buying an m416 it's smaller than the m1101 and others like it but is perfect behind a jeep, I plan to add a roof top tent at some point in time but idk when I will be able to gather funds for that part.

Jeep JK with M101A1 and M1102
Hi Folks
I have an M101A1 and M1102. Both are great trailers. The M1102 is brand new and never saw any use.
I use an airbag suspension system to adjust for trailer loading
