Re: RE: towing a 5 ton Yes, the M911 it is pretty big. Keep in mind that the 5 ton in the picture is an M812, the biggest 5 ton out there. The M812 rides on 14x20 tires, has the 215" wb, and is overwidth.

Bruce is right (as usual). Never tow a heavier vehicle with a lighter vehicle. Unless you are moving something around locally or offroad, call in the big boys.

HEMTTs are very rare in private hands. There have been some to slip through the cracks, but most go back to Oshkosh for remanufacture. Oshkosh produces a like new one for 60%-75% the cost of a new one. Also, older models (i.e. cargo with MHC) are reconfigured into new models like the LHS...

RE: It Looking good!

Sounds like you are trying to use a stock cargo cover on a custom bed. The cover might require some "customizing".

So is this cancelled or what?

I love it. It even has the old school pull tab. Now when is the time you saw one of those?

Looking good [thumbzup]

Good pics! How about some more of those Oshkosh trucks in the background?

RE: running a michelin 52xzl Yes, you can get away with it.

RE: Some pictures of my new deuce [thumbzup] Nice looking truck!

Yes, that should do it. You might try posting a listing on www.uship.com

I put a GMA cover on a M812 recently. I give them a big thumbs up! [thumbzup]

Those towbars are bigger and heavier than you expect! I remember picking 6 of them up last fall at Fort Riley. They are big heavy suckers. Figure about 350# each and they are just about 8' long.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers and congrats on the new purchase. Post those pics when you can. I have used Uship several times, but never for hauling a military vehicle. You might be able to drive it or tow it home, but shipping will eliminate a lot of the potential headaches. Once in your shop...

Did you recently buy this one? I think it might have been the one involved in a scam I uncovered a while back. Glad it finally found a good home.

RE: Negative For a lift tow, I think the towbar should be attached to the front axle. That will keep the towed truck from pushing forward.

Key word is parts interchange. Especially if you want to convert to 8x8! Or, you can build a "big dumb trailer" and power it like our man Spicergear. You can also use these to add pinion brakes (I have them on my jeep).
