Towed my M105 with 3/4 tons
I have towed my M105 many miles with a Suburban and long ago with my travelall but I made the tow mod shown in the picture so it would tow level.
I paid $100 for mine at an old DRMO auction with bows and tarp
I had a panic stop in my 98 Suburban and soon after had a spongey pedal. I got it home and crawled under it and found a small pin hole had been produced in a rusted area of brakeline I lost a lot of fluid out of that hole and had to replace the entire nine foot section of brakeline.
Funny...
Wow David those trucks look ready to go back to work in an enhancement Brigade, the Army's latest term for the Modular brigade that has engineers, signal units, military intelligence, and other service support and combat support units in it.
We had an Oxlocker on my Son's 99 Wrangler and took it out because it bumped in and out. We then just scrapped the POC dana 35 for a Dana 44 with the Jeep installed air locker it works good. If I was going to do a 3/4 ton axle I would look into the Eaton Elocker I heard they are pretty good...
Can you imagine that in Britan you can get a truck like that and not be able to own a gun where here we can own guns but our GL folks would have the feds come over to our home 20 to collect the radar and radios. Nice looking truck, is it a Soviet version or a British one? If it is Soviet does...
That does make it look a little tippsy I remember your thread about building the door big enough for the duece but I guess the the shelter was not in the plan then. It does look good on the truck and I have to say staying in a shelter beats a tent in a huricanne.

Thanks for keeping the duece running, I saw many of them around Iraq doing the same thing on FOB's from Tallil to Mosul all of them being driven around with the top off and no cover like yours. As far as I know it all of the M35's left over there will stay there and be given...
We had an old one like that rusting out behind our barn back in Illinois. Got put out to pasture when my Grandfather got a tractor and a two row drive through Massey Ferguson picker.
RE: Optics
Pick up a cheap Harbor Frieght LED flashlight and mount it show it shows on the plate. Turn it on at night and off during the day. LEO's like brightly lit plates
The Army gives 88M's two guns to turn that wheel. I am thinking the Overson or Selectro hubs would be money better spent and ease turning as well. As Clint so aptly stated manouvering at a standstill is a workout but just think how the steering linkage feels.
