    Snow Picture

    RE: Central Arkansas Snow Fall I just purchased, "The Trail of 42" which is a pictorial book on the building of the ALCAN Hwy. Maybe there will be a picture of my trailer or the machinery that they used the trailer for. Half.com....great prices...

    Joe, The only reason you put yourself on the map is because Vincentown is in the middle of the sticks and you are lonely!

    Mike, Yes, I did notice the different colored markers. Have you thought about putting a list to a vote? Remember, SS is not the mil-veh list.

    membership rolls

    About two years ago, someone in the Unimog community put together a database of Mog owners, shops, and dealers. Putting your name on the list was strictly voluntary. Whenever I go anywhere, I always have that list with me. It's very detailed with phone numbers and even with people whose homes...

    membership rolls

    I think the people who put themselves on the map are more willing to help out anyway. I like the map but there are a lot of people who frequent the boards who aren't on the map. It would be nice to know their locations since I do so much driving across the US.

    membership rolls

    Mike, Not everyone is on the member map. Maybe you need to promote it when someone new registers, set up a default notification page or a "rules & FAQ" page when someone signs up? It's very difficult to find someone in the members list. I know it would be a lot of work to put it all in a...

    Electric Gremlin-- M1009

    Are you getting power from the batteries to the starter? Check your connections on the power blocks. Is your pink wire broken or shorting out? Did you replace any fusible links since you cannot always tell by looking at them if they are blown. I've found that the TM with the electrical...

    Trailer buying advice needed

    Flaps are a rubber ring that goes around the rim. It protects the tube from rust or other particles.

    In-bed shelter size choices..?

    The S280 shelter is the most common to fit in the above mentioned trucks. I don't know of any that go in the long wheelbase since it's easier to mount an expansible van body or something similar on the truck. If you find an S280, I am looking for one.

    Trailer buying advice needed

    BSH: Yes, I am running tubes and flaps. You can put any 16" radial on. I think you can even go wider than what I have. The make of the tires are the Transformer AT. I tried looking for the military NDT tires but they were too expensive and tough to find. A friend of mine put regular 16"...

    Trailer buying advice needed

    Steve, I've got two surge brake setups here in Nevada. Both of them just bolt onto the trailer tongue. Sometimes they show up on eBay too.

    Towing an M101 with my Crown Vic Station Wagon

    I've got load leveling coil shocks all around. I usually keep the tires inflated to what is recommended on the tire. Thanks for the advice, I just wanted to know if anyone had done this before and if it were feasible on a wagon that doesn't have a towing package.

    Trailer buying advice needed

    If you want to add surge brakes, you have to change the axle to one that has brake drums on it. Buy both trailers and swap beds.

    Towing an M101 with my Crown Vic Station Wagon

    ACE,cucv Did you have any problem with sway when you pulled the 101A1? The trailer I have is an M116A2 with the CUCV wheels and I will put some 18" high sides on it. I'm hauling some metal Jeep tops and some tools, not much weight, maybe 1,000 lbs. The car I have is just a regular 1987 CV...
