Trailer from Wright Patterson - Finally

Trailer from Drexel Gardens - Finally

Finally was able to pick up my M105 from auction 5199 back in May. Wasn't expecting to wait this long for the EUC but if finally got here. Met Andrew at Drexel Gardens around noon and was on our way back to Michigan by 1:30. Everything went very smoothly.

Pulling with a 3/4 Ton Silverado HD it pulled fine at 70mph and we made it the 310 miles home without incident. Guess I don't have an excuse not to start on the Deuce now.

The trailer had some shelving built into it and included a small aluminum ladder for getting in so it looks like this was used as some sort of parts or equipment trailer.

Sorry about the pics. On my iPhone so not very good quality.

I took the cover off because I thought it might reduce the drag and reduce the chance of damaging it. It did make securing the lights a piece of cake. Magnetic mount to the top of the talgate and duct tape around the post. Also added some tie wraps to the rail for positive retention. Good old American overkill.

That first pic is a good perspective shot. Lets people know just how big these trailers are. Imagine trying to pull that around with something like a Jeep TJ?

You set up looks like mine right down to the cheap Harbor Freight lights

Are you gonna keep or sell the ladder? Shoot me a pm with the asking price if your gonna sell it.

It would be ok with a fully-customized off road TJ...

Not a Hi-jack, just thinking out loud.

another size comparison

I set my pintle up as high as it would go on my mount. It was right at 29.5" off the ground. My tailgate just clears it.

Wow, talk about being brain dead. I guess I had Wright Patterson on my mind because I kept hearing it on your cell phone message and it was the only other place I had won anything from.

Thanks for your assistance Andrew. This was my first vehicle related recovery that I have had from GL and I was apprehensive about it. You made it easy and I do appreciate it!

Don't give him a big head. He is hard enough to deal with now.
