    M989A1 from Deridder LA to Tucson AZ, or store it in LA

    Agreed. Moving my trailer isn't an emergency. I've got options, just exploring what the options are.

    M989A1 from Deridder LA to Tucson AZ, or store it in LA

    Nothing . Nobody seems to have anything that can pull it. The current plan is have local towing company move it to RV storage place, or I go get it myself prior to the 18th.

    Trailer hitch

    I don't build mine to be cheaper... i build mine to be better... hitch height optimized to tow M1101 level... 6x6 1/4" wall for the main body of the bumper, mounted to the truck frame with 2x2 1/4" wall and 3/8" plate secured by grade 8 bolts x6, and the drawbar for the pintle riser uses a 3/4"...

    M105 from GP questions?

    Redtruck is lifted on 34's with a custom fabbed rear bumper with an integrated hitch positioned higher than stock in order to tow M1101 trailers level. I'm remembering hitch height at 29". You'll note that the M105A2 is still quite nose down. Empty it won't matter..... just raising the pintle...

    M989A1 from Deridder LA to Tucson AZ, or store it in LA

    I'm moving in June, so I either have to grab it prior to June 1, or after July 1. (This is the edict from She Who Must Be Obeyed. It seems that last time we moved the fact that my M925 didn't have wheels and tires until the day prior to the move caused some unrest) If push comes to shove I can...

    Making a light bar over the cab.....Making progress....almost ready to install

    My latest truck has the cab reinforcement and the uprights for the gunring. I'm thinking I'll put a pair of those trilliant floodlights on the rear pair of uprights in such a way that I can turn them around and use them for cargo lights, or have them facing forward as baseline. I like your...

    Dual fuel tanks

    Why run it accross the bottom where it can snag? Run it from the top, with the pickup continuing to the bottom of the tanks. Prime it once, and after that as long as you don't run it dry the siphon effect will lift the fuel and keep the levels equal in both tanks.

    Alaska to Alabama in Brutus

    800 miles in my m923 a2 flat towing my dodge

    New owner and I went over the truck pretty well all day sunday. We fixed the fuel guage, went through the air system, and changed out a broken wheel stud.

    800 miles in my m923 a2 flat towing my dodge

    I just made another somewhat similar trip. Towbarred my redtruck behind an M925 to OKC, then dropped the 5ton, made a pickup at GL's warehouse in OKC and made my way to Ft Bliss delivering medium towbars in my wake. Picked up an M923A2 and M1101 trailer at Bliss and put the redtruck back on...

    Bottom of air dryer leaking. In parking lot

    If it happens again, turn the truck off and dump all the air out of the system. Frequently this will allow it to resolve itself.
