Looks like it should be an interesting show. I'm on the other side of the U.S. so it's a little too far for me. Hope you're able to get some military trucks out there for it. I'm also a member of the forums at BinderPlanet.com (I have a WWII IH 6x6 rust bucket). Would you mind if I posted a copy...

Think that way all you want but you will be singing a different tune when they hit you with a ticket as it ain't cheap. The ATHS (American Truck Historical Society) has been fighting this issue for years as they had lawyers look this issue over and confirmed that there's no exemption for...

That's what I thought, just wanted to make sure that was what you were referring to before asking my next question. :) The way you brought it up makes me think you believe it exempts you from the rules posted by the OP. Is that correct?

Are you talking about the weight rating that's listed on your registration? Edit: As far as the original post I tried to read the MD reg to see if there were any exemptions listed and all I can say is what the flock! That has got to be the worst laid out format for a regulation that I've ever...

I was wondering if any SS members got one of those. I was watching them when they came up on GL (don't see vehicles or trailers come up for auction here at MacDill often) but held off on bidding on them. Glad things went well. And congrats on the new toy. :)

You are correct, a semi truck tractor pulls more than it weighs. The catch is most of the weight of the trailer is placed on the tractor via the fifth wheel hitch. There's less weight riding on the axles of the trailer than there is on the axles of the tractor. If you are towing with an M35 you...

The problem is is that you are trying to use "common sense" in a system with a total lack of it. :) What the Feds say and what a state does are two different things. In some states you only have two types of licenses: a regular car/pickup license or a commercial license. Some states have gone as...

One very important thing that has to be kept in mind is while an M35 has the potential to pull more then 10,000 pound the one thing you really don't want to do is pull something that is heavier then the truck itself. If something goes wrong the trailer will take the truck where ever the trailer...

While you could be right there are two things that have to be considered. First, the auction says: Second, as per the NSN given at the bottom of the auction it lists the End Item Identification as: If they are not for an MRAP then the NSN is wrong. Edit: Anyhow, to the OP: congrats on the...

PM sent to you AKguy as I didn't want to make it public info.

Boy, that really messed things up. 3F82A got his backside banned and they deleted all, and I mean all, of his posts (except for those that replied with a quote). Now it looks like everyone is bitching about nothing. :D Ruppster

Too bad it won't fit in to the back of an M129 trailer. There's another SS member in the Tampa area that has an M129 trailer up that way that he's trying to get brought down. He currently has it listed on UShip. Come to think of it, guess it's a good thing it won't fit as the M129 can't haul all...

First off, welcome to SteelSoldiers. Always nice to see some new members join in on the OD madness. :) As far as the item that initiated your question the best way to do it is to copy the pics from the auction and post the pictures themselves to the same thread with your question. This way you...

You're in luck. One was just posted in the classifieds. The amazing part is not only does it look a lot like the one in this thread I think it's even in the same town. :D Wehring, Love your tow rig. Would love to put that engine and trans combo in an M52. :) Is the trailer an ex-military...

And here it was I thought she was referring to Melbourne, Florida, USA. Shows you what I know. :D Ruppster

Sounds like someone likes to watch Family Guy way too much. :D Used to like that show till the political slams started to get out of hand. :( I always thought Brian was the best character on that show but since I have the same name I may be a little biased. :) What do you mean "Zack pitched...

Looks like you got a pretty nice trailer, OldMan. At the rate you're going you're going to need to buy several acres of land to park your new toys. :) As far as the link to the auction it's not that it's a no-no as it is okay to posts links to closed GL auctions. It is just a recommendation...

What bull? All I see is a cranky old rooster. :-P Ruppster

Yeah, that's what I thought. I saw this post right after it was made 7 hours ago but held off on replying in case you decided to "put your big boy pants on" and give a proper answer to my question about how to best respond to your wild accusations instead of one that was just a half arse joke...

If any message was worthy of rep points this has to be one of them. I know many don't use the rep points anymore but I gave some anyhow. :) Thanks for setting a perfect example for others on SS to follow. [thumbzup] Ruppster
