Still working on it. They literally took it down to component pieces to rework/refinish each one, then start putting it back together. Superior workmanship. Last time I saw it, the hull was starting to be reassembled in a large workshop area. It will be operable when they get done. Cheers

Picked it up today, data plate confirms it is an M1082. Really cool trailer! I guess I'll have to get one of my own now. :) Cheers

Gotcha covered, my friend! ;) Cheers

Done! The trailer is now safely sitting at my place. It looks complete and in great shape. Has the ladder in a rack underneath, and the tarp and bows in the bed. Even came with a bird nest (unoccupied). This was the smoothest, most drama free, recovery I have ever done. If it hadn't been...

Anyone? (He says hopefully). Cheers

Something to keep in mind to help with the confusion while you are reading - the shop body versions (M109, M185) don't follow the same numbering. As in the shop version of an M35A2 is an M185A3/M109A3. The shop version of the M35A3 is an M109A4. Cheers

They are too wide for the stock rims. Others have done it, I just wouldn't want to be in their liability position. Your insurance carrier would likely take interest in the mismatch. Just sayin.... Cheers

Look at aviation headsets/intercoms, too. I have a 4-place intercom (Flightcom, I believe) that is powered by a 9-volt battery. It has plugs for radios (aircraft and music type), and one for a cell phone. I have it for flying, but found it works great in the trucks too, when I have a...

:beer::naner: Cheers

Glad you're home safe. Looking forward to seeing the new toy. Nice NOS troop seats are in your near future. ;) Cheers

Bob, I'm thinking German (as in - anyone but Swiss) because of the bumper, turn signals, fenders, and bed all being German style. But anything is possible... Clarification on the windshield items mentioned by tennmogger. The Swiss cab top is removable, but the frame doesn't fold, you have...

Original 404 doka's are a fairly rare beast, low production numbers, and they are desirable, so it's one of those "you gotta pay to play" scenarios. From what I see in your picture, I wouldn't say $15k would be out of the question, depending on running condition being good. Looks like the...

Murphy's MV recovery rule #22187- Having spares of all belts on hand virtually guarantees that the originals will not fail on your trip! ;) Cheers

I missed the Chafees! Plenty of Leopard 1's though. And, in reviewing the thread, I failed to mention earlier that the splinter camo vehicles mentioned in post 1 were probably Swedish. We had some limited interaction with them, their border was considered a little more "friendly" and flexible...

Hard to tell from the pictures if it's original, but it looks like a stock crew cab. Doka in Mog terminology. Cheers

Nice. Looks stock. Cheers

Dave, I was originally planning to go up through Memphis, and that route, but coming up via you really only adds 100 miles to the trip. Rather than have an extra unload/load "somewhere in Joplin", I can bring it on up to you. I've done I-44 in the past, don't need to see it again. Haven't...

If/when I find it, I'll post here. Logsa said no, not public release yet (:-x). They are so far behind on releasing non-critical stuff! Cheers

I'm picking up an M1082 (LMTV trailer) for agazza from Ft Hood next week, and I'm one of those folks who likes to read the manual before I move anything. Does anyone have the manual in PDF? TM-9-2330-394-13-P (there may be 2 parts) I have tried the net, but so far all I can find are...

I don't even have a trailer! Don't know if agazza would appreciate me experimenting on his. :) I tried to find a copy of the trailer manual, no luck except the "pay me an exorbitant fee" sites. I'll keep looking. No, those seats are reserved for you, I wouldn't snake them from you. Cheers
