Well, maybe it's less of a "build" and more of a finish, but I am just entertaining myself with that title. I got this M101 a few months back, it came to me in excellent condition, the entire tub/fenders coated in Line-X and the rest of it done with POR-15. The trailer has 6x5.5 lug wheels on it now, and they surprisingly looked similar to the Mojave Teflon wheels on my FJ40.
So with a very solid start on a trailer, I moved on to making it something more useable for camping. First thing was to get a lid. I like the look of the Adventure Trailers lid, so we used similar "lines" to what they have there. I wanted the entire thing to be built out of aluminum as well. On top of the lid, I will add 3 load bars to support the Eezi-Awn 1800 series roof top tent I have.
Once the lid and tent is on, that will finish my "finish" of the build (at least that is what I tell myself); need to get the thing out of the shop and on to some dirt. Will post up more pictures as it gets finished, below are a few of the structural supports that will be underneath the skin.
