I'm still concerned about the on-off road thing of the HMMWV. Not so the 5 tons and deuce but then I live in country and have 43 acres. I started when hummers and FMTV's were not available, so never developed the attachment. LOTS of people have however. 5 tons had prices that, if desperate...

The axles are far enough to the rear on this trailer that it may have to handle several tons. Bed from the A3 @ 12' could push 2-3 tons on the pintle. My small loader handles it with ease right now without the bed installed, so empty is probably 400#, with the bed maybe 600#. The one above is...

Tongue from M105A2.

That is the debate I'm having in my planning (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde)(more like Laurel and Hardy). Really...can't decide to have a lot of tongue weight and the axle toward the rear or closer to the CG and less tongue weight. Frame under this will be different to keep it low, not simply make...

Now comes the center of axle decision in relation to the center of gravity...and would it be worth it to build wheel wells to keep it lower? Probably not, as the removable sides would not fit without a lot of modification. So top should end up about where the M1061 sits. To keep the tongue...

I'll use the word "fun"(...but my back is complaining about it). I like building things, solving problems, as much as putting them to work (or for sale). Doing it to trucks has gotten harder since the sales are both farther away and have far less running stock...plus that they get retail price...

The bed has a CG not too far off of the piece that slides out, but the typical wheel well on the truck is further back. I'll have more tongue weight if my axle is that far back, but behind the deuce, it could handle it. Empty, I want to move it with the pickup I like that the sides and back...

I'm starting another trailer project with an LMTV bed and an M105A2 axle and bolster wheel and tires 12x16.5, same Diameter as the PU. :shock:
