Do you have any better pics of it?
What do you plan on using it for???
Are you sure it's a M105A3?
Im guessing since there's another one next to it that this is a government liquidation. Just so you know they are ridiculously heavy... like 2500 to 3000 lbs. They also have breaks that go bad so if they brakes are bad your going to have a hard time moving it. Only reason i'm saying it is because I've actually seen and used one. We used a 3/4 ton to pull it and you could definitely feel it even when it was empty. I've always wanted one but they are not practical for an Xterra... You need a big powerful truck to pull that thing. There's a reason why you only see them behind military trucks and humv's. That trailer is too much for an Xterra regardless of generation.
Also keep in mind that tires for that ***** are expensive!!! Parts will be difficult to come by and expensive...
However if you can get it for less than $200 and want to try and restore it a little... I'm sure you could flip it and make a couple hundred bucks.

The m105 is a 1.5 ton trailer made for the duece and a halfs. They will haul 7,000 pounds. I actually have one I'm thinking of building but I'm gonna cut it down and put a 3500# axle in it if I do.

Yea that M105 is huge trailer. So I don't know how well that will ride behind the X. I got a M101 trailer and that is great. But if you get that trailer let me know and I can give some points and tricks to get lights working on 12v since its suppose to be 24v system. And anything else with it let me know.

For 150.00 build the frame that you want, with the springs axle and coupler of choice. The m101 is still a heavy girl for what it is. How do you plan on using the trailer?

That is about what I have invested in mine total. That is with a custom width 35K axle, if you are careful and look around it can be done.

My inlaws have 2 trailers they pull behind the duece & the tag lists 3500lbs. A tad heavy for an x but in comparison i used to pull this out wheeling before i started beating my x like a rennin mule.
Trailer was 3000lbs alone without truck. The trick was getting the truck centered right on the trailer & once we got rolling keep rolling. If you got it up 65-70mph it would pull hills fine & stayed cool & happy & wouldnt even search gears. Duck beliw 60mph & it was a nightmare...
