    Adjustable pintle hitch receiver?

    All- I have a M105 trailer and to move it around with my truck, I bought this: While it works, the receiver on my pickup (a Ram 1500 Warlock) is really much too low for practical use. I have to pick the trailer up, fold the landing gear then drop it about a foot and a half and rock it...

    I have lights! (Convoy beacons)

    OK all- After hand to hand combat on these things, I got them wired correctly and working. I'll post details in another post. I wired my toggle #3 on my overhead to 24vdc and ran to the relay from there. Tomorrow is mounting and cleaning up wiring.

    Rattling fan clutch

    All- I've noticed when my fan kicks on (usually when I'm sitting at idle in traffic in Louisiana summer heat), my fan clutch is rattling. It's not a bad rattle and of course stops when the truck is moving again and I have air flowing over the radiator... I've checked the tms (-10 and -20) and...

    Shelter for a M105A2

    All- My brain is running, and I'm curious as to whether the S250 Radio shelter is a good fit for a M105A2 or is there a bigger option to maximize the size of the trailer? My trailer is sitting in the backyard and I was thinking of some way to put it to a good use.... I'm going to look for...

    Painting cargo covers

    I haven't seen a thread devoted strictly to this yet... so... I have a tan cargo cover that I'd really like to paint black, but my mind is telling me any paint I use will end up cracking etc if I roll up the sides or fold it. Has anyone painted their covers? If so, how were the results? What...

    All- I currently run Goodyear 14r20s on my 5 ton. I'm thinking about going to the wider Michelin XZL 16r20s. Will I run into a clearance issue with my steering tires and will 16s fit on my current rims? Thanks in advance.
