    Where to purchase special forces upgrades?

    The roof on those trucks is just one from a M1025/1026 with the rear portion hacked off. The support bracing (roll cage) is left in place though.

    immobilizing a Water Buffalo

    If thoughts of theft are that much of a concern, why not drop a fuel-pod out there, fill with water. They are already set up for pad-locks on the filling hatch, and when full... nobody without a crane is going to be moving it.

    M101 back landing legg

    As mentioned before, the M101a#'s designated in the unit for a generator trailer automatically got the rear landing leg. They were also installed on one or two trailers per platoon in my company. These trailers were designated and used for platoon TOC's, and/or transport/stowage of EPW's...

    M1O1A1 3/4 TON TRAILER...NEED CANVAS TOP

    The canvas was phased out years and years ago. I enlisted in '97 and all I have ever seen were the rubberized material on all rolling-stock.

    M101 Dimensions Needed! (Not in TM)

    Only in the axle/hubs and the lunette assy (brake vs no brake) ... and the A2's were more commonly upgraded with the rear landing leg, I seldom saw an A1 with one. (not to say they don't exist, just never saw one with my own eyes.)

My only tow rig for the near future is my Jeep, I am only needing the trailer to mate to one plug. I want...

    Gun Trucks of Iraq

    That's because Rummy had never been shot at :roll: The big hole pictured was my first IED (of 9 as the target vehicle with 3 direct hits), and the one that peppered me up. Thankfully the "glass" driver's door window did it's job, and I dug the chunk of steel out later when the recovery team...

    Gun Trucks of Iraq

    I was only there for transition and "training" which was worthless. Arrived early Dec '03 and left 12 days later. Once I got to Baghdad, I was out of Muleskinner. The soft-skinned were all grounded to the FOB, and I traded up to an 1114, then another, and one last one till I headed home.

    Gun Trucks of Iraq

    When my finals are done I will post some pics of my gun-truck for the move from Doha to Baghdad. M998 with some plywood and rubber mats, flack-jackets stuffed in the doors, sand bags in the floor... that was a LONG drive. As for the ASV's.... We started fielding the M1117's in '00 and had...
