Here, we can't do that. All three of mine will fit on our 16ft. flatbed trailer. My friend will pull one of his and have the other put on top of the first one. I have a friend in Nevada, who can pull a 5th wheel behind his pickup, and also pull his Jeep behind his 5th wheel. Not allowed in...
Yes,,
Hook and Book
760-252-9000
My plans have changed. We will have Hook and Book take our trailers off the Military base to their yard. We have a long trip back home, 600 miles, so by not having go on the Military base, it will save us about two hours. Plus Hook and Book will load our...
Thanks guys. I think it will all work out fine. My date to pick up our trailers is April 29th. If any of you are at the Barstow "Yermo" base on this day, please look us up.
Our 16ft. car trailer is a tilt bed. If you look at the front, I have a mount for our winch. My plan is to back the first M116 up to our trailer, then use the winch to put it on and secure it to the front of our car trailer. I can run it forward until it runs up against the winch mount. Then...
There is a company, just outside of Yermo that will get all five trailers and hold them at their yard and then use their forklift to place the trailers on our trailer for $400.
That is a bit steep in price, but that would solve the problem. The base "Yermo" in Barstow does not have a forklift to...
I fixed ours by removing the valve, using wd40 and air to clean out the valve. Works like new now. If you want verbal instructions, leave me a pm with your phone number and I will call you.
The three I purchased are actually in very good condition. No rust or dents. Great paint and near new tires. For the three, they averaged $210 each. Still a great buy, especially because of the great condition.
My bidding strategy, is to bid on the very best condition, and pay a little more...
Good news. I just won three M116a3 trailers, and my buddy won two.
Bad news. Trying to find a trailer to haul all five trailers up to northern Ca.
Plan A: was to bid on four trailers and drive down with two pickups and stack two of the trailers on the top of the bottom two.
Plan B: Is to...
We also have a 2011 M1101 trailer. After researching the mismatch of height, I also purchased a raised plate. As you say, then you can not lower the pickup tail gate. We have a 2014 Jeep Rubicon, that has the height problem like the pickup.
I did some measuring, and if we welded box tubing on...
Looks like this is going to work out just right. It is rated for 16k. The way it is braced, I don't think it will cause a problem with the 2 inch receiver. I checked my receiver and it has an slip in reinforcement that doubles the thickness.

I also used the serial number and DMV said even though there was another utility trailer with the same VIN "serial nr. " that it was ok. It is now licensed and ready to haul.
New information on Diesel registration and CARB mandates for California.
Some northern counties are fighting CARB in the courtroom. CARB is now saying they will extend the requirement for some older diesels to install the new smog equipment until 2020. This is getting interesting. The Northern...
IT'S fixed.....
Here is what I did.
I removed the spring brake valve and blew into the inlet pipe, and it was plugged. I then sprayed WD40 into the three air pipes on the valve. I then used my air compressor to blow air backwards through the valve. Then more WD40 and air. Now she is back...
