One deuce, three M105s, one trip?

[tvoss]

Won 3 trailers. Just wondering if it is possible to get them with a deuce in 1 trip safely. No double towing. Maybe fit 2 in the back of the deuce sideways or something?

Probably going to make 2 trips, just wanted to see if anyone has done something like this before.

you can put 1 in the truck the stack 1 m105 upside down on the towing one i believe...i havent done it but i think i've seen it before on here....

mmm trailers

Im going to have to get some measurements off the ones I picked up for another SS member, and get back with ya. With the deuce bed being 12 ft long its close but im more worried about the trailer axle width. Hmmmmm

Srodocker makes a good point in his other thread.

Maybe you can drag the one M105 into the deuce bed at a slight angle if the trailer axle won't go in straight. There will be some sliding and scraping.

It will fit.

there is about 5 inches of play between the width of the deuce bed and the 105 axle. Just ask the PNW rally guys, I had 3 105 axles in the bed.

Follow srodockers way. You can put little stakes where the racks go and stack the top trailer inverted, they stack like legos. That easily puts 2 trailers behind you. Load the 3rd one in the bed.....backward! You can load them with the tires on but I always remove the tires. When you strap it down, use plenty of strap. I weave at least 2 straps under the tailgate and around the axle of the trailer so that I can make SURE that it doesn't slide forward in a crisis brake incident. Throw a few more straps in various places and I always throw one over top of the trailer to prevent it from jumping up. This will get you 3 M105s home with one deuce!

I second the method recommended by recovry4x4. It is the easier and safest way to haul three. Just make sure you use the pegs. that keeps anything from sliding and twisting. Also I would recommend taking the tires off the trailer that is turned up side down to keep in height down if for nothing other than to draw less attention to yourself.

Pulling the troop seats makes it easier to put the 105 in a M35 bed. You can do it with the troop seats in, but it is a close thing.

Thanks for the info!

Definitely looks like the best way is towing one trailer upside down on top of the other.

I agree with Recovry4X4 on loading the trailer in the bed backwards. I load my Mule in the deuce this direction. I don't want the foot basket ramming into the cab (or me) if the Mule breaks loose in a panic stop.
