I bought an M1102 trailer and it's located in Savannah. I live north of Atlanta, but I can meet you anywhere near Atl to pick up the trailer with my truck. The mileage says it is about 230 miles from door to door. I don't have the exact address in Savannah. I bought it from GP and it just...

I have a Jeep JK that I have used to recover several m1101 trailers so here's my 2 cents. Your hitch might bend. That pintle hitch riser is creating a big upper lateral twist. Be sure to check it. I would lower the pintle to the holes directly behind the hitch 2" bar. This happened to my first...

I talked to someone close to the process and the reason for the higher staring bids is because GP is only getting 24.9% of th final sale. GL gets a much higher percentage. So if GP has to move a truck to a location to sell it, how much would that cost? We all know the cost to ship a truck runs...

That thread relates the pulling a HMMWV. I need the feet to pull an m939 5 ton truck. Bill

Thanks!

I need a set of tow bar feet that will connect to the IBIS TEK 44,000 tow bar and connect to a 5 ton. I've called IBIS, but they were not much help. So which tow bar feet do I need? Will the hunter 1" tow bar feet work? Thanks, Bill

Thanks, I saw that. It's out dated (2006) and talks about the use of the older Ibis tow bars and the continued use of the 11,000lb tow bar; IBIS TEK tow bar PN 2509-400-001. What I'm asking about using has nothing to do with that memo below. I'm looking for memos that the Army has issued...

Does anyone know where the bulletin is to show they were breaking and not to use them? I have searched everywhere and I cannot find anything that says the Army got rid of them because they were breaking. Is it just 5 tons, or would it be OK for towing a smaller vehicle? Thanks, Bill

I bought 2 of these sets from GL and was planning to sell them, but after looking through everything I may keep one if it can recover a 5 ton. What parts would I use from this set to recover a 5 ton with another 5 ton? How would I connect to the flat towed 5 ton? Thanks, Bill

Bump - I bought a kit and would like to know how everything works. Here's what I bought: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?129379-(Set-1)-Tow-Bar-Kit-for-recovery-of-M35-HMMWV-M809-M939-M54-(SET-1) I think this set has the biscuit and feet. But how do they work? Does anyone have a...

OK, that is sweet! I need this for our Cub Scout trailer. I can't find a cargo cover and bows. I sent a PM. Bill

Warner Robins pick up question Do you need an appointment to pick up at Warner Robins? I did a search and couldn't find the answer. Called the site and got a recording saying pick up times are Mon-Thu 8-2. The auction says you need an appointment. What's the scoop? Thanks Bill

I was was looking at the pics and comments made by a member from Ukrain. I loved this because we aren't seeing this side of the news in the US. I have many questions and I'm sure many members do to. There are many things we would all like to discuss, but politics in open forums causes big...

I picked up a camo m1101 for our Cub Scout pack. We need a way to secure the gear and keep it dry. Does anyone have a bow kit and camo canvas for sale? We need it by the second weekend in Oct, right after the GA rally. I will be at the rally so I could pick it up then or will be happy to pay...
