I am glad his bumper caught mine, if the only point of contact was the back of his truck to my top it would have shattered like clay bird

So there I was, sitting at my computer opening up the shop this morning, when I heard this sound I could not recognize. I looked out yon window and saw a dumpster truck in the parking lot and the nose of my M1009 at a funny angle, which made me wonder "did I park that wonky this morning? Must...

That is due to several factors: #1-the smaller the unit the easier it is for city folk to deal with (park in their driveway etc,,,) the same applies to jeeps #2- little things are "cute" and it is in our DNA to protect little things (that is how babies survive past the diaper stage) the same...

Years ago my GF and I went to the Kerrville Folk Festival and one of the camper trailers had a large garden tiller on the back. They were loaning it out so the tent pitchers could level the ground under their tents!

The 1" units would also weigh less and be cheaper (and weigh less which is VERY important in a camper)

I REALLY like the suggestion of 2" receiver hitches mounted all over for slide in items! I have seen all sorts of things mounted in that manner...

El Toasto! I have often wondered about towing a trailer behind my M109A3 as a "crumple zone" and those photos may have made my mind for me! This post strengthens my love for the M116/M101 series of trailers even more:)

My M101A2 behind my M1028

Pix as follows: #1: a M1009 with a M416 (the only trailer authorized by the Army for use with the M1009) #2: a M1009 with a M101A2 (surge brakes and not too heavy IF loaded properly) #3: a M1009 with a M105A3 (WAY too heavy, shagging around the yard ONLY!) #4: M105A3 in it's proper position...

I would rather see them packed in like sardines that not at all!

Here is what I have, the lighting sucked and they trucks were packed in pretty tight. I talked to the man who restored it and he told me that a lot of the parts are original to the truck, including the bed floor and the brake shoes. He also told me that there are only four of them in the US.

I know you likely will not want to read this, but I saw some of those IV bottle holders on a table at the show. If I knew you wanted them I would have pointed them out!

Here is a krappy cellphone teaser photo, I will post some more after I get some sleep... Also please find a photo of Wreckerman with his new friend

I have some, will post them for you after editing!

I am a "driveway shooter"! Both trucks, in the summer (hotter-n-hells), windy, dirty, Rapco paint out of a Harbor Freight gun. I put myself in the mindset of a po'd private assigned a krappy job nobody wanted because he missed formation that morning, so it would look military!

I found out last month what happens when you drive a M1028 at 50mph IN SECOND GEAR... After ten miles or so the tranny and/or the IP gets really hot and the truck looses power, will not maintain speed and the engine will not stop running when you turn off the key! Pinching the return line on the...

I have three "jeep" trailers (M416, M762 and Bantam T3-C) that ALL came from the D-FW area, keep looking they are out there, and seem to congregate near you!

I had to use a tapered pin and a hammer.

I thought Sarge had been on GL again! I would have been there with my M1028/M101A2 combo but I had to work, looks like a good time was had by all. From the perspective of someone who did not have to endure convoys in the Military I think they are extra cool! I like seeing trucks in front and...

If by "ugly" you mean awesumly beautiful then, yes I think they are ugly... Different looking yes, but form follows function and they function VERY well.
