Nice complete rig/set up. Where did you score the trailer, haven't seen any released.

It came from GL through a friend. I have the cover and bows as well but kinda like it without them on.

Neat looking trailer, but if you have to load cargo on it, you better have a forklift... The Army should of kept some of the M105A3 trailers. At least they had a low cargo bed.

Does the trailer have CTIS, or does it look like it just because it has the same wheels and tires as the trucks do?

Looks great, like it was made for it. Oh yeah, it was! I got to see those being made, the plant was turning out three trailers a day on the trailer line.

For those that might find it interesting, the M1082 specs.
What's scary is that the empty weight of the trailer is still 1500 lbs more than the original HMMWV

looks awesome, but way too high to hand load stuff in it.

Yeh, it's a little too tall for that. I bought it for looks and to complete the truck better. If I had to I could load it with our loader, but have other trailers for hauling.

So I'm looking at one of these. The 60" loading height is a killer though. I was wondering what the height might be if I put some M1061 tires on it.
I recall my M1061 was also high, even with the tires, which were lower than the 9X20s.
My bobber has the 395s on it so that would be a match, yet, I'm more interested in carrying some cargo. Nothing heavy, but my back isn't going to take to much work and heavy uplifting. The M1061 was one of my favorite all around trailers and it was like new, but, again, even it was to high.
Has anyone looked into putting those m1061 6 LUG TIRES on one of these M1082A1s and checked the difference in height. The M1082 is really a cool looking trailer and with the sides that are removeable, a side load would make things much easier. The M1061 was a flat bed, so that was never a problem. The M105A2/3 as you all know, can only load from the rear. I like the drop down sides. Wonder how it would pull with a deuce? I don't believe the 5000 pound tow capacity at all. Off road maybe, but even my Chevy 1/2 Silverado can pull 8000 pounds, and I have seen the M1061 pull the M1061 with a full load in the laundry trailer which was well over 10,000 pounds, by a M35A2 deuce. Slow up the hills, but fine on level ground.

Great trailer! I want the M1095. I know it is tall but my 99 H1 hummer will fit in it. Might look like a bit of over kill pulling the trailer with my H1 in it, behind my M1078!!! HAHA I am jealous! Have fun with it.

Shark bait, would you mind giving details of the electrical intervehicular cable that is used to connect your lmtv to the m1082a1? I would like to know the length of the cable and if it has the same ends that are used on a m923a1 5 ton.
I am in the process of purchasing a m1082a1 and it doesn't have the pigtail cable for the lights. I am trying to find the right one so it will plug into my m923a1 directly without modification.
Also, my truck does not have CTIS, so how does the trailer work with a vehicle that doesn't have ctis? do the tires air up on their own? thank you.

It has the standard NATO connector and a commercial 7 pin ( I believe, like a tractor trailer) ) connector. There isn't CTIS on the trailer. They don't air up or down.
