Fantastic! Thanks for the pictures, it looks like we won't have to do anything to our lights- just use as is. <strike>Did you pull the landing legs or did yours not come with a set?</strike> Never mind, I see them in an earlier picture.

Sheesh, does the army know how to assign a condition code? Yours looks exactly like mine, and they coded it F7. Mine is coded B4. My biggest panic attack will come if I try to pull the trailer and there's something wrong with it, like a locked brake or something. :sad:

I spoke to the DRMO folks at Ft Lewis and they didn't seem to have a problem with it. As an aside, I picked up a set of cheap trailer add-on lights to get it home from Harbor Freight for $20.

Woot! After a couple more corrections my EUC is on its way. I've done one for a GL auction in the past, back when the minimum bid was $50, so hopefully it'll move through the system quickly. As for the lighting I'm thinking of buying some rubber shell connectors from Erik's and rewiring from...

Oh my no! It's better safe than sorry! :razz:

Oh no, I wasn't being critical of your post at all! I was agreeing and adding some thoughts based on the use of lights/nogs in a SHTF environment.

When I was flying Starlifters we sat through a cockpit voice recording and computer simulation of a C130 that crashed. The crew was doing a max effort climb and when they got too slow the pilot told the engineer, "Takeoff power." The problem was the engineer heard, "Take off power", and he...

Vehicle lighting allows you to see, but also to BE seen. IR lighting and the best nogs in the world won't help you from t-boning someone who didn't see you coming.

I went with Hobbyist.

UPDATE on my purchase. My EUC got kicked back today. I had to change all the N/A entries to read Not Applicable, sign an Export Letter, and get them a clearer picture of my DL. As a DOD employee myself, I can understand the need for exactness. No, not really.

Here's a copy of the FM: http://www.silvereaglemfg.com/parts_pdfs/M1101%20Tech%20Manual.pdf and/or http://www.ltw.net/Hummer/074424.pdf

:mrgreen: I dropped out of that one after $888, then it looks like two others were bidding against you. I was sitting all fat & happy on VIN 14298 for several days before the bidding wars started. Does anyone think GL goes in and bids the stuff up? I wasn't the high bidder when it closed...

Will magnetic lights stick to the aluminum trailer, or is there some steel in the corners? EDIT: Thanks, I see your edit! :whistle: Here's a breakdown of the trailers in the sale and their VINs. Of the seven up for auction, all but two were listed as 2009 models; mine was one of the two...

The current plan is to drive the hour between Lewis and Silverdale without lights, then address it later. I can also cut the 12 pin plug off and wire in the 7 blade right there in the yard, then drive home. I'm getting conflicting information about the trailer lights. I understand they came...

Well, I got the first two hurdles behind me. My EUC status is Received, and the pintle hook is ready to go.

Whew! Thanks, that takes a load off! I called them on Friday to ask them and they told me to read the FAQ, which I had already done. Here's the page, the condition code is B4: I called the local office to ask what the "No NWO Tag" thing means, and it took them a while to come to the...

I recently bid and won one of these from Ft Lewis. There were seven of them on the auction and I was high bidder for days, until the last few minutes when people came out of nowhere to bid them all up. The one I had went over $1K and I bowed out. I bid on another one and was outbid, but the...
