Sucessful M101 recovery from Herlong!

[100dollarman]

Left the shop at 4am---- to Herlong to pu 5 M101s. Wasnt sure how they would load, but they went on the 30' trailer no prob.

1020 miles rd trip!!! Over some of the tallest passes in the west -- one was 8138 elevation! 10mpg on the way back. 2009 Dodge Cummins. Got home at 2:30 this morning--- long day! Now they are unloaded and safe and sound at the shop---

I'd be real interested in knowing what the chassis designation is on the green trailer. HMMWV stock but -A2 style axle. Looks like it would probably be the M116A2E1.

You scored some good looking trailers!

 

[markmontana]

You still had about 15" of space left on the trailer- you call that a full load?

Does anyone else have plans on going to Herlong soon? If so would you be able to check on lots 35, 38 and 108 from event 5165 for me?

Also have any first time EUC submitters been approved yet from this auction?
