    GOOD RECOVERY Got my 003a and 116a2 home

    Andy, The cover is awsome! Why can't I have this kinda luck on the lottery? Yes! All the tools were there! A sledge hammer, slide hammer, manuals, lots of grounding rods, another slave cable end, I can't believe it! I'll check the filters in the AM, if I have time I'll look at the fuel tank...

    GOOD RECOVERY Got my 003a and 116a2 home

    I think Preacherboy is about to make another GL purchase.... If you look at the price of a comprable civilian unit its a no brainer. $1500 and about 1 gallon of diesel per hour, plus you get a military rated genny. Sorry brother, but you have to do it. Your already wired for a genny hook up, why...

    GOOD RECOVERY Got my 003a and 116a2 home

    Thanks Speddmon, **** I'll be the first to acknowledge I dont have the knowledge to mess with this kind of power. Better to let the experts school me.

Once I get this all serviced up and running like a diesel watch I intend to have a buddy (electrician) come out and set me up with an exterior switch box and hook up. WHY DOSNT EVERYBODY...

    GOOD RECOVERY Got my 003a and 116a2 home

    I didnt cut the existing chain. Instead I attached the new safety chain on the first link and duct taped the existing chain to the trailer. (I intend to tow this later with my CUCV and Duece) Also, the spare tire was a good idea, I didnt need it but you never know, the size is LT235/85R16, the...

    GOOD RECOVERY Got my 003a and 116a2 home

    When towing with a POV (privately owned vehicle) or civilian vehicle the safety chains are not long enough. You must bring some 5/16 chain, a couple master chain links and a couple hooks. Per Coyotegray's post "I have used 5/16 chain about 25" long. I just take a pair of bolt cutters, snip the...

    GOOD RECOVERY Got my 003a and 116a2 home

    Well this recovery went really well! Pulled my new M116a2 and MEP003a home with my 1/2 ton Dodge Ram (about 129 miles). WOW, this is a nice pulling trailer! With the weight I was expecting to be shaken the whole way but there were times I forgot that trailer was back there. Huge thanks to...
