New member here. Just won an M105A2 on GL. Waiting on the EUC to go through. I'll be towing it home with a Dodge Ram 2500 on 33" tires. Luckily, I'm just driving from Hill Air Force Base in Layton, UT to... Layton, UT. ![Very Happy :-D :-D](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
I've been searching the forum for info regarding this trailer and I've got a pretty good idea of everything I need, but I'd like to double check. So here's what I know:
Pintle castle nut size: 1.5" (get a box wrench from Wal-Fart for $10)
Lug nut size: 1.5" (will likely be loose)
Bring a tall jack to lower the pintle onto the hook.
2 tire repair cans
Portable 12V air compressor
Will need to check the air reserve tank and release any air to prevent brake lock up. What tool(s) do I need for this?
Once recovered, the modifications I plan to do:
1) Install 12V/24V LED bulbs.
2) Build a conversion plug for the trailer wiring hookup to a standard 4-pin.
3) Remove the pintle, apply anti-seize, flip for reinstall.
4) Install a bracket under the neck to install a 6600 lb surge brake actuator ( http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200579902_200579902 )
4a) Is it possible to hook up the brake lines to the surge actuator and still have the ability to hook up the brakes to an air system?
5) Buy a multifuel deuce![Twisted Evil :twisted: :twisted:](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif)
