The operation of the expandable vans is clearly different than RVs. In RVs, an entire room is basically moved outward at the flip of a switch to gain more foot space in the camper. In expandable vans, the sides manually fold down & up to reveal more SF. Nothing in the van moves outward...

I would guess they need a tow from Acworth to Tallapoosa, GA. Looks to be about 80 miles.

I hope I don't get forced to peel these off. rofl

Build it plenty big. Who knows, one day you might want to get a 5 ton with super singles.

Well, there was a lot of 3 new ones on GL last week. I think they brought somewhere around $2200. That is over $700 each.

Welcome to SS! You can get 2 of the M818s at a time on a semi trailer. Figure about $3.00-$3.50 per loaded mile. Thousands of trucks available to meet your needs. We even have some members here who are in transportation. I'm sure they will speak up soon....

I vote for April 26-27.

RE: Spring AROKMOTX rally I have seen several new members in OK and MO, I believe. A well organized event should draw a crowd.

That seems very expensive. You might also consider recentering the HMMWV wheels, getting new 16.5" wheels with correct bolt pattern, or getting new axles even. I have been thinking about looking for 3/4 ton axles with 8 lug bolt pattern and lower gearing to run the 36/37" tires.

I really feel bad for you that the high beams didn't work. aua With GL you gotta take the bad with the good. Oh well, maybe next time you can get a decent truck. rofl

Does anyone know if these are current regulations/standards? I'm sure it could vary by state too.

Re: 1ton with 9ft wide trl. What about trailer brakes? I think a M172 is really going to look suspicious behind a 1 ton and it might peak deputy dawg's interest.

Sweet pic! After I wiped up the drool, I found these pics (some vehicles belong to other SS members). There is obviously a lot of variance in what is used.

Re: RE: Wide Load Movements Wow, that sounds like a load for a 1 ton. Do you have a 5th wheel hitch or plan to haul it on another trailer? It is going to look really wide behind a pickup!

I think I remember Leonard saying it would be done by Christmas. I just don't remember if that was '05 or '06. Time flies when you are having fun! It will be an awesome machine once he is finished with it.

Thanks for the input. A lot of MVs are overwidth in stock form (M123, M911, M172, M747, etc.). I believe CONUS regs are to notify the appropriate state(s) in advance, but that seems like a lot of paperwork. If moving one of those items, I just want to look somewhat official so as to not raise...

What kind of signage/flags does the Army use when moving wide loads in CONUS? Is it the same as commercial? Anyone got any pics?
