I bought mine last year from a guy near Bristol, TN, he had dozens of them. Can't remember his name, he was on M715Zone.com. Might have a few more, if you can dig his info up over there.
Saw this on the internet. Thought I'd share. Looks like someone in Greece has been collecting these things for a while.

Who was the guy with the video camera who was jumping in and out of the trucks on that last really tight run down the rock slope? He must have video of that....
If you have a jeep, a M37, a CUCV, or a civvy tow vehicle, you'll be amazed at how useful these trailers will be to you. I am debating getting another one to use for moving stuff around the property, I wish I never sold mine back in 2005.
I know what I would put on the EUC. "INTENDED USE: putting a cardboard standup of Smokey the Bear in front of it with a text bubble that says, 'Remember, only Jarheads can prevent forest fires.' ".
Soon to be available on GL as "M998, HMMWV, 17,892 miles, some parts missing or damaged, ran when last parked; located on large burned, foamy spot next to Bldg. A411. No SF97 provided".
Steve, you are correct, the M884 series had the overload springs to carry the S-250 shelter, and SOME of the M882 radio truck versions had them as well. The M880s did not. They are a direct swap-in.

It's my deuce, with the winch frame brackets installed and the bumper flipped, and a Mermite cooler sitting where the winch should be. The winch I got from Ethan before he passed away leaks like a sieve, I'm going to rebuild it...
Looks like a 4-wheel-drive Smurf. Looks great! Keep us updated as you go on, and when done, make sure to take it offroad to show us how well it does....
Man, I don't know what's going on, but something is wrong with everyone's camera on this site. Every picture you guys take of me makes me look fat. rofl No kidding, I need to hit the gym and not the buffet.
My pleasure hauling the CUCV, CARNAC. Hauled like it wasn't even there, because...
Just got off the phone with the Rally Commander in Chief, David. Said the pics will be posted sometime this week, he will be recovering from a long trip until then. He just got home 2100 hours Monday.
This sorta has the same idea as the M104 trailer, which was essentially a M105 1-1/2-ton trailer that had the front tailgate as well as rear, to allow the carrying of longer items if need be. Wherever this trailer came from, the builders wanted that option as well.
MORE PICS MORE PICS MORE PICS MORE PICS MORE PICS MORE PICS !!!!!!!!!!!!!
One pic is a teaser - c'mon, we need to see the whole thing in a 50-pic minimum slideshow!
RE: My new M936A2 project
Cool save! I think you have the newest wrecker here! Two questions, though:
1. What's it like having money?
and
2. What process is required to be added to your will?

This thread is great. The parts for all our custom projects are sitting over in a salvage yard in Iraq - we just need to have Lonesome715 strip parts, box them up and ship back to the States! We might be able to empty some of those junkyards yet!
