Will both 105s fit on a 20 ft trailer??? :?
They should fix fine on a 20 ft trailer.
I had two M101 on my trailer, it has a 16 ft flat deck. I put one of the trailers tongue under the back of the other trailer. I also used the space above my tow trailers tongue (total space used 19 ft). I picked them up in Iowa and transported them to south Florida. Sold both for $1,400 ea.:):)

I spoke with Vinny today and will need to meet up with you on the way up and back for some cots and camo nets to go north and some troop seats to come South. I will send you a PM about the trailer parts.

I have hauled to(2) M105 trailers on an 18' trailer. I had the M105 trailer tongues to the rear of the trailer to make it easier to unload when I got back. The second trip I had the rear trailer tongue stick out the back a bit (put a red flag on it) so I could keep everything back to reduce tongue weight on the towed trailer. A couple weeks ago I pulled a load out from Ft Drum with (2) M103 and (3) M116 genset trailers (no gens) With a dually Chevy Flat bed and the same 18' trailer. I wish I would have taken pics of that one.

So far, So Good, I left my house on saturday to head up to vinnys, on the way up i met up with walter to pick up some stuff for vinny and Dereck Taylor. This morning (sunday) we left vunnys and headed north first stopping at matts place to pick up some parts, after leaving matts we headed up to atlanta to meet up with joe trapp to pick up some 2.5 ton running gear for my friends truck, after leaving there we stopped at derek's for a little bit to drop off some tires and stuff we brought up for him and then we headed north again, we are now at a holiday in across the street from fort campbell and we are going to head over there at 8am tomorrow to pick up my trailers. after that we will start heading south again and on the way back were stopping at derek's place again and then back to vinnys. were having a good time and have had no major problems.

This is my first post. Just found the site after I just picked up my first MV, a 1985 CUCV Blazer about two weeks ago.

I live in Nashville, about 50 mins south of FTCKY if anybody needs a hand or a place to stop for the night, drop me a PM. Be glad to lend a hand.

We are back at Vinnys place now, we got in at around 0230 with a truck full of goodies, we picked up two j pipes, one for Green Gator and the other for another member when we were at Taylor Trading's place we also had a box seat, tent, a couple of M105 Tops that were getting tossed out at the DRMO, FREEBIE, so that was nice, there was a set of 2.5 ton running gear in the bed of the truck that i picked up from Joe, then a bunch of other odds and ends parts in the bed, on the trailer we had my two M105 Trailers, which are sweet by the way, vinnys 105 trailer body and a 5 Ton transfer case. It was pretty much a full load back, But it was a great time. There were a couple of set backs from me getting a nice little ticket from the MP's for rolling a stop sign, he didnt give me a ticket for that but what i did not know was that my licence had expired on my birthday last week, so i have to get that renewed. Then then we first loaded the tailers we loaded them in tongue twords the rear and like that the trailer was way to tongue heavy and the jack was only a couple inches off the ground, so we had to unload them and then have the GL guy re load them for us, when we were doing that we noticed a huge pile of tops and covers that were getting thrown out so we asked if we could pick through them and he said sure, so we picked up a couple of spare covers and got out of there, we stopped back at the hotel to pick up the rest of our stuff we left there and then headed out back to Taylor Trading to pick up the transfer case for Vinny and Green Gators parts. We left there around 1730 or so and headed home, the trip from there on was un eventful and went smooth we ate dinner at a golden trough and then we were on the road again, we arrived back to vinnys and went to SLEEP. Now were off to go pick up my 2 gallons of 686 Tan, 1 Gallon of 383 Brown, 1 gallon of flat Black, and one dozen bombcans of 686 Tan for my truck. :twisted:
