    M1008 Death Wobble

    Most of us with a M1008, esp... if it has been lifted will encounter the famouse death wobble. If you have added bigger tires to your lift , this will also make the wobble more noticeable.

    M105A2 tailer hard Top Cover???? I want one!!!!

    I just saw this the other day, a hard shell cover for a M105A2 trailer. Does anyone know who makes this and to whom I could contact in obtaining such a shell. I think something like this would make any item in the trailer a (little bit secure) since nobody could see what is inside.
