They are only 73" wide. The M101 weighs right around 1400 lbs empty and has a 3 quarter ton payload capacity if I'm not mistaken. Personally, I don't see having much more than 600-700 lbs of gear in mine. My JK tows it just fine too.

I like your set up. Do your bikes fit under those cross bars? Mine only have a couple inches to spare and my rack is mounted to the top of the tub.

I have an M116A2 and it's not wider than the JK, so I haven't had trouble on trails. The pintle hitch is nice. You will love your model. Looks to be in great shape.

Here's my M116A2

If the question was for me: I put 17" wheels with 35" duratracs to match the rig. lots of room to increase.

Yes, the bikes fit under racks, We did a weekend trip with Kayak's on top, Bikes & gear underneath.
Next i need to figure out adding a gang box for smaller gear, and/or lockable storage for more valuable items. Then i need to figure out how to carry a darn spare tire. The trailer has chevy 8 bolt pattern, vs Jeep's 5x5.
- Cheers & ride lots!
