With regard to the earlier comment about the glass inside reflecting at night, that is very true and can indeed be confusing. Most of my large trucks are hardtops, and the rear window will very effectively reflect light back onto the front windshield, thus right back at you. If I drive at...

Sounds like you have things figured out well. In addition to extra reflective tape, I run amber beacons on all my big trucks, I want to do what I can to attract folks' attention so they will hopefully notice that they are gaining on me. You can get good 24v ones with magnetic bases, and run...

I only use most of my vehicles for shows, so haven't really checked into anything beyond that with Berkeley. They have no requirement for garaging and didn't have a problem with me pulling trailers so long as they were not being used for general haulage or for hire. My 1009s and M1028 are on...

I had State Farm for several years, but they suddenly went squirrely on me and wanted to make me take out a commercial policy, I declined so they dropped all my MVs. I promptly dropped them for my POV and Homeowners policies too. I have my MVs insured through Berkeley Classics. Cheers

I saw where you wisely intend to keep your speed down on the old tires. Unknown how much experience you have with these, you may already know to expect your cruising speed to be about 47-48 when you get your new tires on. They are quite a bit slower than their cargo brethren! Safe and...

This would be an almost impossible choice, given the candidates. :shrugs: The only thing saving me from a great deal of hair-pulling and gnashing of teeth trying to make up my mind is that one belongs to my brother-from-another-mother , so...... Cheers

Welcome aboard! You'll probably find a section of chain bolted or welded somewhere around the drivers seat, this is for the simple method of chaining your steering wheel with a padlock. I've heard good things about locking door handles, but haven't tried them myself. On M35s and M813s, I can...

Definitely, not all LEDs are created equal! I think quite a few folks on here run them on their CUCVs, either doing what you are with an LED-friendly flasher, keeping a couple of regular bulbs in the lighting system, or getting LEDs with enough built in resistance to make a stock flasher...

I do, I'll measure it up for you. ;) Cheers

That is a cool trailer! I have visions of my Mighty Mite on that... Cheers

Holler if you need dimensions Cheers

I haven't bought anything from them in years, but they were good to deal with in the past. Cheers

These decisions just can't be easy, can they?? :p As enamored as I am with Miggins' glorious trailer, at this point the real competition is between the bike and the 5-ton. Much as I like both, being an M1030B1 owner myself swayed my vote. And I still kinda owe Hambone after edging ahead of...

Well, that one looks like a very good start! Cheers

This would be a good size. I don't remember the designation and failed to take a photo of the data plate. I regret not buying that one, but it was more than I wanted to pay at the time. :cautious: Cheers

If you want a longer one, look for DRASH units (heating and airconditioning). Some of those are from a little bit to a lot longer. I got this one to haul my M274 Mule behind the 5-tons, it is one of the longest versions with a GVW of 6000 pounds. It is designed for the LMTV trucks, so a bit...

Ah! Not an M1102 cargo trailer, but an LTT-MCC or an LTT-HC! Basically the same 1102 frame and running gear, used for generators and other specialty items. There are a bunch of variations to these. That should make it easier for you to balance your vehicle load and maintain the proper CG and...

The M1101 and 1102 are exactly the same, the designation pertains to the towing capacity of the towing vehicle rather than the trailer (which is something I'll admit I have never understood the reasoning behind). So, for your purposes it really doesn't matter what model you have. Attached are...

I was looking at that upside down one on mine yesterday, and wondering how it was supposed to work. But since I am not putting a tarp on yet, I failed to investigate further! Makes sense, since they were designed for a three-section cover (front, rear, and top), so that inner hook would draw...

I'm not quite clear on what's happening with your truck. Do all the rear wheels turn initially and then lock up, or is one or more staying locked? If one or more is staying locked at first, these tractors are notorious for sticking the rear brakes to the drums due to moisture if they sit for...
