    So hypothetically I'm bidding on a truck and have a prebid in that is winning. The auction is supposed to take place today. The bid is a substantial portion of my entire operating capital. The auction date is subsequently pushed out literally MONTHS! Am I still accountable for my bid? My bid...

    Yes, but the steel bars are a known quantity. Why take a chance?

    Towing LMTV via Ibis bar

    This is sufficient evidence to prevent me from towing anything heavier than a hmmwv using an ibis tek bar: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?113114-Catastrophic-Ibis-Tek-tow-bar-failure-snapped-like-a-twig

    Anyone ever seen the 5 ton with a double side slide out box on the back?

    Dukenukem, the nature of your questions leads me to think you have no firsthand experience with these trucks. If you get to tucson in June, be sure to come over and we'll take my M925 for a drive and get you some seat time that you can use to form your own opinions... I plead sleepy last...

    Anyone ever seen the 5 ton with a double side slide out box on the back?

    That's an M934A2. It has an 8.3 liter turbodiesel. All of the M934s handle horrifically. Much less maneuverable than the cargo variants, and extremely slow. Example - single digits while climbing hills with the M925 on towbars. The 8.3 liter turbodiesel will do hills a little better, but not...

    Anyone ever seen the 5 ton with a double side slide out box on the back?

    The truck in front in the pic I posted is an M934A1. They're rated for a 15k tow load, although they'll do quite a bit more.

    Anyone ever seen the 5 ton with a double side slide out box on the back?

    I stand corrected. I saw the (false) claims of "M35A3" and "caterpillar" and didn't look closely at the truck itself.

    Anyone ever seen the 5 ton with a double side slide out box on the back?

    The teeny looking little truck in the back is an M925 on 46" super singles, with a 14' bed. You may find it interesting that I took this pic just outside of Las Vegas. ..

    Anyone ever seen the 5 ton with a double side slide out box on the back?

    The M934 variants expand. The M109 variants don't. That thing is a one-off custom job, like a combination of both. The M934s are huge and ungainly. Let me find you a pic of my M925 on towbars behind one, for comparison. (Pic won't load)

    Anyone ever seen the 5 ton with a double side slide out box on the back?

    That appears to be a customized M35A3 2 1/2 ton truck, heavily influenced by the M934 and m109A4

    Anyone ever seen the 5 ton with a double side slide out box on the back?

    There's no such thing as a 900 series... i suspect you mean 939series... M934 is the expansible van, fairly common. M944 is the batwing thingy, as scarce as blue whales in a goldfish bowl. ..
