It was totally fine. I think it's rated for 7500lbs and the HMMWV is well below that at 5200ish-lbs. I rented it for a "Suburban" which is 5700lbs. U-Haul doesn't have an issue with the weight, it's the width. I used 6, 2" straps from Home Depot. 2 of them to extend the U-Haul tire loops then 2...
Recovered. The forklift guy at Yermo was a pro, couldn't have gotten it on the trailer any more perfect. Was fun getting it off, didn't realize there were no tie rods, ended up using a tie down the keep the wheels sort of straight, took about an hour with a snatch strap to get it off. On another...

Hi all, bought another HMMWV, it's a non running bucket. Was planning on doing a U-Haul trailer for pickup, my question is, do you know if the yard guys bring out the non running trucks with the big fork loader? If so has anyone had them use it to drop a HMMWV right onto the trailer? Trying to...
