    M101A1,2,3 Dimensions please?

    55" wide is only a little over 4 1/2 feet. Your numbers are off. Use google for this, not SS. There are plenty of charts out there that make the comparisons of dimensions side by side. I usually use Olive-Drab. M101 Trailer, Cargo, 3/4 ton. or... use the link therealSundance put up.

    M1102 behind a pickup

    Fantastic behind a pickup, or, at least a newer one. The trailer has HMMWV tires and extends out the sides about 3" on either side of my Chevy Z-71, but older trucks might be narrower, cutting off some visibility. Mine is fine. They track my truck tires perfectly, so pulling in the tight turns...

    Get rid of that biodiesel, for new MV buys

    Good if you run it, use it, and do it regularly. Bad if it sits in your vehicles fuel system for six months without use. The thread was intended for new MV buyers who would go to GL and purchase a MV which likely has been sitting a while. Or, for buyers of MV elsewhere that have not been...

    M1102 axle width

    cjk, From the inside of one tire, to the inside of the other tire, you have 61". From the outside of one tire, to the outside of the other tire, you have 84". If you remove the tire, you will free up about 3" on each side at the bottom. Then you have the spiindle to deal with. You have two...

    73M819's New CUCV

    Georgia does not title pres 1985 vehicles. It can be very difficult to title any former military vehicle, due to the disinformation put out by the Atlanta help desk. You have to find someone at the local county office, or find a way to get to the title managers office direct,which is a surburb...

    Ripped off by Fast Track Logisitics.

    I get back end charges from shippers about 50% of the time. They automatically charge my credit card for it. Doesn't really matter if it is a credit card or debit so much. $600 is more than enough to ship two pallets. You always have to challange back end charges from these shippers. It is...

    battery cutoff on negative wire

    I would have never guessed that. Good to know. I'm installing new Yellowtop Optima batteries in my golf cart today, with a cutoff switch, and I would have put it on the positive side, leaving the ground in place. My traditional way of thinking is a good ground is safety while working. Thanks.

    small rust hole in air tank

    I've seen a lot of new old stock air tanks sold recently. You might want to advertise for one in the classifieds. You might get a good deal. I don't know the buyers. Good luck.

    Oddball express ii

    A/C Cages, I saw a fantastic looking M35A2 painted in new desert tan on Saturday in Orange City on Hwy 17/92. Was that one of yours. It still had that slight pinkish/orange tinge to it like the paint was still fresh. What a beauty with that like new canvas top! I was drooling over it. Looked...

    M105a3 trailer, ugly yes or no?

    Never seen one, but given the opportunity, I'm definitely going to buy one. I'm trying them all out. Anyway, what size tires are those on the A3 pictured. One thing I don't like about the A2 is the 20 inch tires. Perfect for the military, but not appropriate for mixed useage, military and...

    Chronicle of a tan M1101 trailer purchase from GovLiquidation.com

    My last EUC I sent in on Feb. 13 took a whoppping 5 business days to clear. I've already picked up 4 of my 5 trailers. My M1101 will have to wait another week as I need to put a tire on it. I bought another one today so I would have a tire to swap out. Still need to buy one or two though.

    ODDBALLs M109 w trailer

    You been chunking wood in that wood burning stove?:-D Nice shop. Be sure to give us pictures of the final paint job. I haven't heard on it so I was going to write and ask, then, there you are with the story. Sounds like fun. I can't remember the mix type, but I believe most have been saying...

    fuel pod, 600 gallon

    Good advice Mike. I would hate to leak $2400 worth or diesel. I would recommend, if available, you post a source for the gasket for the emergency flush valve for historical sake. I've been looking at those 600 gallon tanks, and might just end up with one.

    73M819's New CUCV

    I bet it rides better than that wrecked wrecker, even though he does call them wheel chocks.:p He'll be turning over in his grave and hasn't even arrived yet.

    Chronicle of a tan M1101 trailer purchase from GovLiquidation.com

    That M-105 looks lowered. Is it yours? I was wondering how you got it level, and what tires are mounted on it, what rims, and where they came from.
