Needing to borrow a trailer big enough to haul an M1008

[roosterbawls]

I live in Norman, Oklahoma and bought a CUCV in Heber Springs, Arkansas. Found a place that rents out trailers but they sold the one I needed. If you have one I could borrow and would want to go with me, I'll pay for all your expenses. Planning to go the July 26, 2014 and come back the 27th. It's a Saturday and Sunday.

Thanks guys

A tow bar would be ok too.

I have a set of tow bars you can use. I'm near downtown OKC

 

[roosterbawls]

Stupid question here, do they hook right on to the lunettes or do I pull the lunettes and hook the tow bars where the lunettes attach. When I was in the army we just used chains. Lol

 

[Warthog]

You remove the tow shackles (horseshoes) and attach the towbars feet to the shackle mounts.

 

[roosterbawls]

Ok that's what I thought. Do you have the feet too? Could I pick the tow bars up Saturday when I wake up?

 

[Warthog]

Have the towbar, feet and pins. Need to make arrangements to pick it up before saturday.

You will need some tow lights.

Herber Springs is a good drive. If you do flat tow it, make sure you keep an eye on the wheel bearings (heat) and the tires. I may have some spares tires on 16" Chevy rims.

What day would be good to pick it up? I can do it any time before 1400 or so. Would stopping every hour or so to check for heat be sufficient? And keep it below 65 or 70?

I have a gooseneck dovetail trailer its 35' long with fold over ramps. It would probably take a 3/4 ton truck to pull the trailer, its all there. I would go with you and take my truck and trailer but we have plans to go to the lake for my birthday.

 

[roosterbawls]

I've got a 3/4 ton and a gooseneck hitch. What plug does it have?

Awesome screen name dude... I like it, creative.

 

[roosterbawls]

Haha thanks jeepsinker.

If you were closer I'd have 1.

 

[roosterbawls]

I appreciate all the help guys. Trider I work today, tomorrow, and Friday from 1430 to 2230, when would be a good time for me to pick up the trailer? Here's my number 5802778056

 

[roosterbawls]

Well guys I appreciate all offers but I got a call this morning and the guy that I was buying the truck off of sold it.

 

[Warthog]

Bummer

 

[roosterbawls]

Yep. Now I'm back on the search.

 

[Warthog]

I know of one here in OKC. New paint, 6.5L engine, lift, etc.

It is the one in the back



If interested I can get his number to you.

How much is he wanting? My wife has a choke collar set on me at 4,000. MAYBE 4,500 if my wife REALLY likes it.

EDIT: the picture just loaded. That thing is sweet!
