    Where to buy M1101 canvas & ribs ?

    To get my bows & cover, I just bought another trailer complete with them. Fuzzytoaster has the best advice to check the sources he mentioned.

    M3A1 Stuart Tank Firing A M3 Flame Thrower

    That's even better than the hand held flamer throwers they used to have for rental @ the Knob Creek Machinegun Shoot every year. Nice showing!

    M35 fuel troubles

    You have to follow Warthog's recommendations of: When starting again, remove the intake mushroom and have an assistant ready with a large board to cover the intake. It will save your engine in case it tries to run away!

    My M925 battery relocate

    MV's are cheap compared to the skirts, the beer is somewhere in between the two. Do you recruit the young girls in skirts to drive your trucks? :lol:

    Another M-105 Recovery - Another Lessons Learned!

    The first time I did a recovery on a M105A2, the previous owner told me not to hook up the air lines until I had a chance to check out the brakes internally. His words were that the Deuce & a half was heavy enough to stop the empty trailer without the air brakes to help. My 50 mile recovery was...

    Chronicle of a tan M1101 trailer purchase from GovLiquidation.com

    Here in Florida, there is a no title policy for trailers. When I got my 3 M-1102 trailers this past summer, GL sent me a bill of sale for each unit stating Florida's no title policy & saved me $180.00. I don't know anything about Ohio's DMV view of trailer titling or registration.

    I think I found the one

    Take Jeep sinker with you & let him kick the tires & such. If he likes it, buy it & take him up on the fine tooth comb deal. The winch makes it a deal breaker for $6K if it is operational.

    M35A2 questions

    I'd keep looking for a better truck considering the condition you described above. If you have to have it, a grand or so @ the max. Remember, you gotta pay to get it running before you put it on the street, not to mention the work required to make it happen. A better condition truck for more...
