So how did you hook the two together?? I see the dolly but I did not think the M967 was set up to pull?

Looks good. You can drop one at my LZ on your way past

Thats awesome! makes me want to get a Tractor unit of some sort more hahah

 

[rcflyer70]

Could you post a pix of the doubles connection? Thanks.

 

[big block 88]

That is badass talk about OD Muscle

 

[emmado22]

No M969 Trailer I ever saw was set up with a hitch in the back.

Nice Ross...

 

[reb87]

Thanks E...my mobile device didn't jive with the attachment mechanism...I'll get pics of the junction

 

[wreckerman893]

Did you have overlenght issues with the powers-that-be?????

 

[reb87]

65 ft overall trailer(doubles) is legal (doesnt count tractor) I was about 4 inches over

How many baffles do those fuel tanks have?
Also curious to see how you coupled them.
Seems there are very few military trailers designed to be doubles. And even those are only to carry the little trailer behind it.

 

[wreckerman893]

A lot of military van trailers (expandos, commo vans) had a pintle hitch on the back but they were designed more to pull small cargo or genny trailers than to be used as doubles

Yeah, that was what I was alluding to in my previous statement.
They just don't look like they have the beef to really pull a second trailer of the same size (which is what I was after.)

So how did she pull? It's hard to see the picture but what is in front of the grill guard- a second tranny cooler?

 

[reb87]

I built a hitch using the pintel from the 818...the tankers have very heavy brackets(for lifting)welded to the frame that I used and safety chained to the tiedowns on the bottom of the frame..it pulled awesome forget backing up though...condenser for AC on front pics tomorrow

When I saw all those tankers in TX, I considered doing the same thing to get two home. good job!

 

[Flyingvan911]

Nice set up. That could hold a ton of WMO.

 

[reb87]

I think there are 5 baffles

 

[73m819]

Well as awesome as your tanker train looks, I think I found a topper.

 

[Danger Ranger]

I'll bite....73m819, what is it and what does it do, etc. You know you can't post something like hat and get away with it.

BTW, the other train looks awesome Reb87!!!
