yeah that is one of my debates.. put motorcycle on the Jeep I will tow behind... or on the LMTV

keep in mind...... he is thinking 2 spare tires... not one.

Bingo you are correct (sorta) - these trucks were geared correctly..... for their military task...... which is NOT correct for our commercial or camper task as your examples show very well.

clarifying- out in the real world trucks reaction > if Red gets frozen/blocked back tires lock up if was previously in park. ... ??? what if was not in park first (froze via wet freezing conditions while driving?) Would a back set of brakes slowly get applied until they lock and front is...

but with two spares..... anything additional is going to add up fast.

phew... that be tuff to put two spares and motorcycle. Weight wise. Is your rig close enough in your build to weigh it with any accuracy to use for caluclating a viable estimate of what each axle's weight will be if you had it loaded pre tires and bike? You'll need that to decide how much...

that is slightly..... lol. Granted what is slight in one trail in the world is very different than others..... Folks used to Elephant Snot mud in some places of the world would call that a sprinkling.

hmmm. what turbo is that.. looks different?? Heck what engine is that.

Part of problem with pulling cab up with something is the cab is tinfoil-ish and something that wraps up and over may deform the cab.. might only be enough deformation to pop out the windishield.... but that is enough.

Thanks for update. As they say..... "It's most always something stupid" Go enjoy her neighbor

Well..... least your keeping up with the best medicine. Humor aka- laughter is the best medicine. Granted that blanket statement fails to express that there is times laughing inside may be better way. Laughing out Loud .... Hurts sometimes.

SWEEET. ... Looks like you likely got the feet to fit the FMTV too. Folk sadly sell pair of feet for not much less as you paid for the tow bar.

best guide for things military tow bars we see on the market to civilians. It seems to have changed slightly in active duty cause they have other bars now? http://vertexintl.com/media/2018/09/02-US-Army-Tow-Bar-Smart-Book.pdf

look up the NSN number on the tag. Might be the light duty tow bar and not adequate for our size rigs. If it is the IbisTek... make sure it is not the one that was fazed out due to breakages. Dont think it is though https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/towing-lmtv-via-ibis-bar.154055/
