Do your front tires still have the counter weights? If so remove them as they are to counter balance for the CTIS. No CTIS means remove the weights too.
What will be funny is when those untrained drivers in HMMWVs and M923s get them stuck. That big snow storm that is going on back east is just a winter storm in Utah. Heck, I would still have to go to work and the schools will be opened.
I know where an M923A1 with that armor kit is in private hands. They are replacing the delaminated armored glass and I get a couple of the bad pieces for ballistics testing. When it gets warm again we will test from 5.56 to .50
10Wt engine oil. Or you can flush it clear and replace with P/S fluid, hydraulic fluid, on Dexron/Mercon trans fluid. I have chosen to stay with the 10wt as that is what is also in my transmission. It is really a matter of your own preference.
Here in Utah if a trailer is built with brakes (electric, surge, or air) and they are disable, removed or modified the trailer is no longer legal for road use. I am sure many states are the same and that's not even taking into account Federal DOT regulations that pertain to trailer braking systems.
I'm with jpg on this one. I would never recommend the removal of a braking system on any trailer that is equipped with them. Those brakes WILL save your back side some day. Your mod should have kept the surge brakes. I hope it doesn't cost you or one of your friends in the end.
It isn't very hard to completely remove it and fold it up and put it in the bed then remove the front and side racks and lay them in on top. That will reduce the drag profile as much as you can get.
I could but I question the front steer axle. The angle of those wheels make me wonder if it is going to tow OK or loose a set of wheels. Anybody know if those tire caster angles are normal?
