    Going to pick up a 1987 HMMWV

    Welcome to the addiction! Looks like you've found an excellent place to store your money, but withdrawing it may be problematic :lol: J/K, looking forward to your progress photos.

    Homemade canvas/tarp top for M1102

    I think it will work great as a static cover in camp, but I worry about how it will hold up at highway speeds with the tarp on if that is your intention.

    2016 la rally

    That is a really nice venue for a rally, and it's only about 85 interstate miles east of Tim's place. Could call it the Gulf Coast SS Rally since we've had folks from TX LA MS GA AL and FL attend. Could also schedule a Sat. trip to Camp Shelby museum and base tour (if Jeff will volunteer to...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I like the tow light storage idea! Should be very secure and out of the way there since there isn't a lot of storage space on a tractor.

    Ultimate 5 ton tractor

    I must have missed this thread when I was on the road. Looking forward to watching the progress in person, maybe occasionally passing a wrench. Glad you're keeping it manual transmission, 'cause I love jamming gears :driver:

    M923 radio

    I use the "3M TEKK WorkTunes Hearing Protector" that blocks wind and engine noise and can be used in any truck or while mowing. Cost is around $38-49, shop around...

    2 M105A3 trailers in Texarkana

    What did it say in the Pickup Terms of the item auction page? Some places state whether there is forklift loading assistance available or not. I always check that before I bid. I've done like HMMWV Nut by unhitching the flatbed, block up the rear edge of the flatbed so the front jack doesn't...

    MEP003A Comes Through Again

    I passed dozens of power company trucks from MS in convoys along I-20 in SC and GA in the last two days. Hope the outages are short.

    Maiden voyage from Kansas to California in M934

    Way to jump in with both feet - a 2000 mi trip! As to performance on hills, remember the box on the back adds ~8,000 lbs over the weight of a regular cargo truck.

    My M101A1

    Looks good with the Jeep :goodjob:

    Picked up a 923!

    Welcome to the addiction! Now you need a M105A2 or bigger trailer.:p
  13. Trailboss

    M101 A1 or M1101

    For that truck and with a light load, my order of preference would be : 1 - M101A3 2 - M101A2 3 - M101A1 4 - M1101/M1102 If you plan on carrying the trailer with a heavy load, I would reverse #3 and #4 due to surge brakes on the M1101 and lack of brakes on the M101A1.

    CUCV with 6" lift towing military trailers

    I pulled that big green steel box M105A2 on a 230 mi round trip last month to Goldeneagle's place to deliver a pallet of ammo cans in exchange for some repairs done on the trailer steel box door. It traveled well and level down back roads and interstate highways, but I could tell the truck...

    GP Selling Private Items?

    Check the Payment Details to the right of the inspection details. Title information for the two private MVs that I watched sell is listed here, as well as the pickup deadline. If it says you get a transferable title and you do not, GP should force the seller to provide the title or refund your...

    GP Selling Private Items?

    Yes, GovPlanet is selling privately owned MVs, just as IronPlanet sells privately owned civilian vehicles and equipment.

    Are there any 30 amp single phase weather tight recepticles out there?

    This is what I have planned for my home when I get around to it. If you use a 50 amp RV cord and receptacles, you will have 4 wires to for 240v and ability to link the generator ground to house ground. You may also want to upgrade your generator later. Normal 50 amp receptacle at generator...

    South Ms, La, Al, Christmas and New Years party

    Thanks GE, found it! If travelling I-59, its 3.2 miles west of I-59 Exit 29 on MS 26, or from Exit 27 take MS 53 North 1.9 mi and turn left onto MS 26 west for 1 mile to Fairgrounds on the left. I'll be coming from Bogalusa on LA10 / MS26 so should be able to spot it.

    South Ms, La, Al, Christmas and New Years party

    While I enjoy cruising the countryside in my M1031 :driver:, I'd have a better chance to arrive on time if someone could post some directions to the fairgrounds. :confused:
