I am soooo glad I was on a recovery from Lansing today and couldnt bid on these. My wife would have been pissed.... There were some **** nice trucks in this event!
Well this recovery went really well! Pulled my new M116a2 and MEP003a home with my 1/2 ton Dodge Ram (about 129 miles). WOW, this is a nice pulling trailer! With the weight I was expecting to be shaken the whole way but there were times I forgot that trailer was back there. Huge thanks to...
Selfridge is the largest ANG base with no commercial airport. It is definately a closed base. The GL rep must provide your name to the Air Force SPs to get in.
The GL rep posted his cell in another thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/inspection-preview-questions/54935-mt-clemens-whos-going.html
Good info on the safety chains Coyotegray! I didnt think about the existing ones being to short! I'll hit Tractor Supply before I head out. I have the DOT5 and magnetic brake lights. What size wheel should I bring as a spare?
Recently got my "paid in full" invoice for a MEP003a mounted on a M116a2 trailer (will post pics). I plan on towing it with my 04 Ram 1/2 ton 4x4 (about 70 miles). I know its a 3/4 ton trailer but with the genny this is gonna be a heavy rig. Any advice/concerns/comments? This is my first m116...
INFORMATION ON PREVIEW IN MT CLEMENS
The GL rep (Joe) asked me to post a reminder to everybody interested in attending the preview on 4-5 AUG that you MUST have an appointment. He has to provide your info to Security Forces to get you on base so if you don't call ahead you won't get in...
These trucks have been on that lot for about 2 years. All have dead batts. The 109s in the pics are going to the Phillipines. Just m35a2s in the sale. I think 1 or 2 have winches the others are WO/W.
Bought a M105A2 trailer last year. When I previewed it I saw it had tarp and bows and two mounted steel chests up near the front with lots of drawers. I didnt look inside the drawers until I won it. It was packed with small arms cleaning equipment, heavy weapons cleaning equipment, night vision...
Thats it, I'm officially addicted to MVs. Picked up my M35-A2C and M105A2 from GL in Mt Clemens MI earlier this week and I love em both. The GL guys there were very helpful, they had the trailer rigged up to the deuce and had the deuce running when I arrived to pick up. The batts were dead as...
Oh, this trailer must have ended its service as an armorers trailer, it was filled with cleaning equipment, night vision mounts, etc. A very cool bonus!
Ok, here is a stumper.... When I got my deuce from GL at SANGB (Mt Clemens MI) I also picked up a M105A2 trailer. I'm not sure what info you can come up with on this but the data plate indicates serial is 17063 and it has a delivery date of 3/54!!! Here are a couple of pics...

Thank you Sir...
Thank you Recovry4x4, I wasnt sure. So 1972 is safe bet? If so I'll go with that for the plates. In Michigan we can plate for the model year, all I have to do is come up with the plates. Not a problem with Ebay. I'm still trying to get my head around all this. Another MV collector is born.....
