    My M101A3...new to MV

    I mean, they look like awesome trailers, and price is cheap, and u can find cheaper as well. You can not even get a little trailer kit from home depot form that price, and you have to build those, and they will not hold nearly as much. I just have never welded, nor painted before so I wanted...

    Barstow, CA Loadout

    I maybe able to help also. I am in Riverside area, and also waiting on a trailer from the 12/27/12 auction. Waiting on my EUC to clear. (First time) I am also getting my pintle, and riser (hopefully in the mail today and tomorrow). If I get mine back before yours need to be picked up...

    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    Wow, I could only hope to have a truck like that one day. But registration in California would probably be what I would pay for the truck. I am looking forward to the progress, and I will stick to my little M101A3 trailer build whenever I get her. AMAZING WORK!!!

    Baldy, I saw the post but didnt have a chance to reply. I do not consder it a hijack, and I am curious as well. This is my first trailer and first military vehicle. I think the jacks lift towards the rear and lock into towing position with a spring loaded claw, if you will. This is what I...

    Thank you both for the links. I may go with an electric one, but still undecided. And I just checked the HF link, it is 29, but marked down to 14. But If I get that, I will have to get a compressor and whatever else is needed, like a regulator and stuff. Anyone know off the top of their...

    Do you have a link you can PM me with the HF paint gun? I am searching their site and it seems they no longer have one, or the price went up. Does it hook to an air compressor, or is it electric? I do NOT have an air compressor, or I would like to go with an electric one, or maybe bite the...

    My M101A3...new to MV

    Yeah I am not worried about it at all the day I get it. I will have all my paper work and stuff from the purchase. Your allowed 10 days from when you get it to register it. As long as you have a bill of sale, you USAULLY do not need a temp tag or anything to take it home. I also do not...

    Yeah, I figured. I have been on that side of the badge before, I could care less about little stuff like that. Its just CHP I need to worry about it while taking it down there, but hey if I get stopped, they will look for a VIN anyway, so I will probably just hand them the paper work and go...

    Yeah neither did I until I was looking it up. But they screw us on vehicle registrations. Thank you for the info on the brakes, I did not know you could lock them out. Another thing I need to add on my list of things to take.

    Thanks for the info, I forgot all about grainger, and I just got done ordering my bulbs from bulbs.com, and then I ordered 50 bullet connectors for 8 bucks on ebay as well as my cushioned riser for 96, and the pintle/ball combo for 70 on ebay too. As far as the registration, California only...

    Welcome to the site. I am a new person as well on here, so there are others with a LOT more information then me. I just won my first trailer last week, and and new to the process as well. So good luck on anything you maybe bidding on. My trailer is my first surplus item, and I hope it will...

    Since I was just about to post about my EUC, I will give you my best shot. And....My EUC was just sent to Battle Creek today!! Cant wait!!! EUC Is End User Certificate. It is basically a form you have to fill out telling the Gov't that you do not plan on selling or exporting the surplus to...

    I did forget about the heat issue. Well another color I am thinking now is the desert tan, always loved that color with OD writing on it. And if I ever get bows and canvas for it, it will look right at home with the tan. And my Expedition is white, "Oxford White, YZ" to be exact.

    So its like 32 degrees outside and dark, and I am bored at home, so I decided to do some measuements on my truck. My recv height is about 19 inches, from ground to the bottom of it. The hole is about 2 inches from the front, and it is 6 inches long, open ended, but the spare tire is in back of...

    M101A3 DOT Lighting

    Awesome awesome work. Love the attention to detail. I was wondering if you or anyone else can answer a question for me. What is the measurement between hinges on the frame. I was thinking of doing something a little different when I do my trailer. I am thinking of mounting two STT slim bars...

    Hahaha Yes I would LOVE a 5-ton, I was actually bidding on one, the only one that said it started (without or a jump or otherwise) But sadly it went beyond my 400 Max bid. But it was fun while it lasted lol. It ended up going for 3800, was a nice 1984, 14 foot dropside, with hard top cab. But...

    March Field Mus is still there and it looks like it is getting bigger. They even have their own hangers in back of it that can be seen from the freeway to work on their planes that they are restoring. I have not been there in probably 15 years but I pass it everyday on my way to work, and...

    And no sadly it does not have the bows or rails or covers. I want to get some at some point and may buy a trailer at some point just to take them off of it. Lol
