    They sell the 416 all day long for $150? Have only found the M101 family there.

    Learn First Aid

    I have had the chance to use my BLS first aid and also my Army CLS skills on several occasions. Not something I have enjoyed but very happy that I had been trained and able to assist when needed. Everyone needs to go through the minimum Red Cross courses.

    M101A2 tire options?

    You should be fine with a 265 on a 6.5. Each tire manufacturer has different recommened rim widths, and sometimes even vary same size but different model.

    M101A2 tire options?

    You really need to use a tire size calculator like this one. Tire Size Calculator - tire & wheel plus sizing a 235/85/16 = 32(31.7)x9.25 recommended 6-7 rim 265/70/16= 31(30.6)x10.50 recommended 7-9 rim 265/75/16= 32(31.6)x10.50 recommended 7-9 rim 285/75/16= 33(32.8)x11.25 recommended...

    M101A1 12 Volt trailer

    Roady- Someone was kind enough to post this link in a thread of mine Soon to own M101 A2 and figured I would share with you. The light housing will take a 12 V bulb or 24 V bulb. Sounds like yours was set up for 12 V for some reason. Anyways here is a link to how you can temporarily hook up...

    How did you guys drive home? documentation?

    I had the same question as I am hoping to pick up my M101 A2 shortly and will be pulling it home 265 miles. I am not sure I will have benefit of doubt like those of you driving prime movers since the trailer will be hooked to a civilian vehicle.

    Does this mean my EUC is approved?

    Thank you Bad... Well I am scheduled to be at Nellis Friday. I am still holding tight to that glimmer of hope it will be in on time. Tried seeing if they would let me load out Friday and they are firm on the Tues and Thursday thing. Hoping I can get one of the guys I know at Nellis to pick it up...

    Electric Trailer Brake Controller

    I had an old analog break controller and it was ok, worked the way it was supposed to most of the time. The problem with the older analog is sometime they don't apply and then all of the sudden engage and lock the trailer up. When I was researching a new controller everyone said go digital and...

    Recovered another M-416, with a neat cover/cap

    I was looking for a 416 or 1/4 ton trailer but all the ones in my area cost a mint even for a rusted out POS. That is why I turned to GL and ended up winning a M101 A2. Still waiting for EUC to clear, I am hoping it isnt to big on the trail. Very nice find, hope it was a fair/ reasonable price.

    Does this mean my EUC is approved?

    Based on what i read from GL you need a new EUC for each auction event. So if you won multiple items in one auction event you would need only one. However if you have an item in two different auctions you would need an EUC for both. Supposedly it goes quicker each time. Hopefully a more...

    Does this mean my EUC is approved?

    Should I keep hope that it may still get approved in time for me to make the combined trip? I know as a first timer they say it can take up to 60 days for EUC to clear. Just hoping it may be a positive sign.

    Does this mean my EUC is approved?

    Yes this is my first purchase. No the invoice does not say PIF I have read that once people got their letter from DLA that they were approved. So was wondering if maybe someone at GL just hadnt changed the status yet even though DLA had processed. That is why I asked the question. Trying to...

    Does this mean my EUC is approved?

    Ok so I got home today and have a letter from DLA saying I have been assessed to purchase/receive surplus DoD property etc... Then goes into the different export codes and at the end says Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Does this mean my EUC was approved? GL is still showing...

    EUC Help

    Well I just called the number you provided. It gave me an automated system and I was not sure where to go from there as far as department to select. The person I spoke with had no clue what I was asking about but did create a trouble ticket and said that I should get an e-mail once it has been...

    Bumper number etiquete

    KK- Honor your friend with his unit ID. I am sure your friend will appreciate you wanting to honor him that way and probably even more if you tell him you want to do it. The main point I was trying to say and John S-B was saying is for those of us that have served, it is better to use numbers...

    Bigler Boyz Crew Cab M35A2

    Man that looks great. I had the same idea if I bought one with the exception of leaving the bed off and having it at the shorter bobbed wheel base. Of course I have neither the time or money right now. It is very good to see that it can work and look good. Congrats on the project well done.

    Non Military trailer cover

    "They also carry other colors too!" I am glad you did not go with Red to match your trailer. The reds fade really bad in my experience from long haul. The black cover with the black frame looks sharp. I can't wait to pick mine up and start doing the clean-up. Yours is giving me hope on just...

    Bumper number etiquete

    It is more appropriate to have YOUR unit number on it then one you never served with in your carreer. Now the truck did serve with them and could be taken as preserving the history of the truck. I will give example of my combat patch, I am authorized 6 patches now. Four are from my first tour...
