A few months ago I ventured to Norfolk to pick up one of the Ametek fiberglass helmet tops. I built a plywood deck on the top of the 1102 trailer and pulled it with my f150. The trip went well. The Navy happened to be moving a carrier out to sea while I was on the bay bridge and tunnnel...
I found a take off rear bumper extension for my M998. It is not required to tow the 1102 series trailers with the rear mounted spare tire carrier but is needed to tow some of the other military trailers outfitted with surge brakes. The tire is in the way when towing the other style trailers...
John,
Thanks for hosting a great event. The projectile catcher was outstanding. Thanks for posting the picture of my M998. Looking forward to the spring event.

The M37 tracked well belhind the M998. No problems with the turns. The tow bar is a military medium tow bar. I used it once to haul my deuce out of the pines when the steering box broke. I always carried a tow bar on the front bumper of my deuce. I have one of the military tow bars designed for...
Here is a picture of my M998 towing Willies M37 to the shop to fix a stuck valve in the engine. Went about 15 miles of local road driving used the medium tow bar and the LED light bar on the back of the cab for signals. Willie removed the bed for repairs while the truck was in the shop.
You can try Jim Henry. He is at 623 Concord road Albemarle NC. 28001 He does not use the net but you can call him at 704 983 5940. Another option a lot further away is TNJ Murray in Dover Delaware toll free 866 736 1790. Either one should have something for your friend. good luck

The town manager in the town I frequent saw my HMMWV and was interested in one for the police force. I mentioned to him about the program to supply them to LEO's. I am looking for the information so the town can request one.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick
It is your choice of color to prevent rust. I had a tan deuce, the replacement truck, an M998 is also tan. I prefer tan as it is the color of the trucks used in the sand box, tan stands out in parades as most of the other vehicles are painted camo or OD. Tan paint does show more dirt and stains.
I installed LED lights on my M116 and M1102 trailers . The serge brakes on these trailers eliminate the need for electric brakes when I tow them with my pick up truck. I have a military trailer receptacle mounted on a plate attached to the pintle, the wire from the military receptacle has a 4...
Got mine about 8 months ago, tan 4 man soft top with X doors. Body and frame are excellent. It is an '86 according to the paperwork. had 4k miles. At about 6k I spun a bearing and replaced the 6.2 with a non turbo 6.5. Now I am replacing the head gaskets on the 6.5 since they started to...
Nice mule! You have the engine guard and rear engine cover along with the foot basket. Thats a big plus as they are hard to find parts. If you have the round hole cover thats even better. Repro seats are available as well.
Best of luck with your new toy
