    Do Army mechanics read the TM's?

    Thousands of HMMWV may actually be sold to public; not a rumor

    MA registration without title?

    No title = no buy is my rule. It's not worth the trouble, and the "title companies" don't work. Find another truck.

    Gov holding sales of M1101 & 1102 trailers in Texas ??

    I wonder if a trailer for the new towed Mortar system got out somehow.

    converting trailer lights?

    The blackout lights would be useless for signals. Way way way to small to let any decent amount of light to pass.

    Gov holding sales of M1101 & 1102 trailers in Texas ??

    2011 M1101 picture.

    It will pull great, but don't even think of backing up with it. Ever back up with a m105 series? This will be 10x harder..
