    Height comparison between Amtech Helmet, Command Center Communication soft top Shelter and S-788. It is a little bit higher than the rest.

    S-788 Shelter Just picked up a S-788 shelter from Tobyhanna Army Depot, PA with M1102 chassis trailer. It is perfect fit both width and length. I have not unstrapped yet.

    Tobyhanna Army Depot, PA

    I have a question. Does Tobyhanna army depot have truck or commercial gate? I know Ft. Digg and Ft. Bragg do. They won't let truck with a trailer go through visitor center. Thank you for your info. It is a big help.

    Tobyhanna Army Depot, PA

    I have to pick up a shelter at Tobyhanna Army Depot, PA. I have a couple questions. 1. Will do I need a sponsor to get a pass to get in? If I do need one, will GL provide one? 2. There is any commercial or truck gate? Since I have to pull a trailer. Some visitor center does not allow trailer...

    M1101 Expedition build to begin

    I think it can only be used on the highway. It might be difficult to get it off-road with this type of setup. Additional, it only charge when it is moving at least one certain speed. I have dual mount MEP-803A on a trailer. I use solar panel to keep the battery fully charge. Additional, I...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I can put 500 gallons of water while it sit at home. I don't think it can carry 500 gallons of water and tow since M1102 rates as 4,200lbs. 1 gallon of water weight 8lbs so 500 x 8 = 4,000lbs. So the total will be 4,000 + 1,400 (trailer) + 500 (tank) = 5,900. It is 5,900 - 4,200 = 1,700lbs...

    I paid $501 plus fee and tax. No way that I will pay $11,900 plus shipping. The military paid $15,000 based on the sticker on it.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I believe it is stainless steel. I saw one that listed on eBay for $11,900. It is the same NSN number as mine. Mine is still on the crate also. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Water-Tank-400-Gallon-Double-Wall-SST-Insulated-for-Potable-Drinking-Water-/172868329139?hash=item283fc15eb3:g:-mQAAOSwNnRYlcZP

    HMMWV Overland / cross country driving - Service?

    I have been thinking a lot. I am leaning toward the Raptor at this point. It is under warranty if it ever needs any repairs. It is more comfortable and it even go faster. It will pull M1102 which setup as overland trailer. I have a couple wheel bearing as spare parts and 2 spare tires. I...

    HMMWV Overland / cross country driving - Service?

    Good point. I forgot about that. How about the noise?

    HMMWV Overland / cross country driving - Service?

    I took 300+ miles road trip between MD and Ft. Bragg with M1102 a couple times. I am an overlander, not hard core off roaders. So basically, I carry a lot of stuffs including RTT, kitchen stuffs, etc. So most of the static load is on M1102.

    HMMWV Overland / cross country driving - Service?

    Great advise. I usually drive my truck regularly. I took 300+ miles road trip between MD and Fr. Bragg, NC a couple time with M1102 to pick up stuffs. I think I already fix most of potential problem. My M1102 has 35 gallon fresh water tank under it belly. I think I can survive a week. It...

    HMMWV Overland / cross country driving - Service?

    That would not be my choice since I have RTT on the M1102. I need some where to sleep and cook.

    HMMWV Overland / cross country driving - Service?

    I am just curious how you use your HMMWV? Did you take it cross country or overland adventure or something like that? My only concern is maintenance and service. If it broke down on the side of the road, where do you find a repair shop? I usually fix or do thing myself at home. However, I...

    Trailer air brake device to allow towing of a military trailer with a civilian truck

    It is a good idea and I want to do it too. However, a couple things come to my mind. Will you need special or CDL license to operate air brake trailer? Will you need DOT or inspection? I am just curious. Thanks for the info.
