M105A2 with some differences

[WhitePhoenix]

So i just picked up this fairly nice M105A2 from GL, a big reason for buying it was because the hitch was modified to sit a solid 1 foot lower and it shows, it pulled level with my truck and even has a 12V harness setup, no lights but the wires are at the back ready to be attached. The normal landing gear were removed and the crank on the side was added (doesn't really work since there's a few notches with a bolt you put through it for the height). All in all, im excited that it doesn't require any modification to be pulled behind my truck!

It's a nice "spearmint" green too. Congrats.

That is one **** of a tongue jack!
Watch the parking lot drops so it does not hang the truck up.
I like it Big but should work well.

Cool, if I wanted to tote that kind of weight behind my suburban. I'd buy it to...

So how do you plan to stop it ?
Also Floridia trailer braker requirment : Required over 3000 lbs. GVW, On all wheels.

It is a nicer trailer but getting it road safe and legal isn't going to be cheap.

Sorry I should have been more specific, I ment in terms of having the trailer sit awkwardly behind my truck. Yet, I'm not actually a Florida resident being in the military, so it will be title in Michigan actually. You are still correct about it being safe on the road, which is something I'm looking into but still not sure if I plan on keeping it.

Michigan also requires brakes on any trailer with a GVW over 3000#.

FYI: That trailer weighs it at almost 2700 pounds, that doesn't provide for a lot of cargo weight with a 3K pound GVW requirement for brakes.
