Other 4x4s I've flat towed have specified t case in neutral and transmission in park. My 6spd manual Ram specifies tcase in neutral and transmission in gear. Perhaps something turns due to parasitic drag in the M998 due to the lack of Park. 30 miles vs 300 - possibly it takes a while for...

The nonsense theory comes from the TM, the vessel of all knowledge relevant to the HMMWV.

Stuck ring, preventing adequate compression?

The difference is buying new tires vs buying surplus tires. The tire size is 395 85 R20.

I've flat towed a *bunch* of auction 6x6 5ton trucks from Ft Riley KS to Tucson AZ. I've flat towed my 9300lb pickup truck behind 5tons, and I've flat towed CUCVs behind my pickup. I've towed an M998 behind a jeep gladiator. These two vehicles are roughly equivalent in weight. It towed fine...

The way the weight is distributed on the trailer is prone to shift forward allowing the front trailer axle to take the lion's share of the load. If this happens during braking and maneuvering, it's possible that it'll begin a positive reinforcing vigorous side to side shake. It'll likely be...

KS backroads, HMMWV on the heavy towbar behind the Gladiator. I've done literally tens of thousand of miles of flat towing 6x6 military trucks. Like @patracy I've done some questionable towing. But that's when there weren't better options readily available. The M1079 behind the redtruck...

I remember when you were planning your trip and you were contemplating some somewhat questionable ideas. With this kind of thing, overkill is underrated. OP should take the F350 and the trailer that's way overrated for the task at hand and have no doubts and no worries.

There's a lot to be said for a plain green rattlecan paint job. Cheap, and easily touched up...

Like many of us, i have a bunch of 24V military equipment and I don't want to buy separate batteries for all of it. So I took a couple of truck batteries and put them on a pallet. I hardwired a 15' set of slave cables on 2/0 and a 30 amp Anderson Powerpole on a 17' white cable. Anything I want...

I'd attempt spraying it down with dawn dish detergent in the foaming spray bottle, followed by power washing it.

Starting driver side rear corner, up to B pillar behind driver seat, then passenger side B pillar. Let me know if you need more and better pics.

I'm happy to take detailed pics. If that will help.

@Valence might also.

@silverstate55 may have a suggestion.

Please describe "good charge" in more detail. What kind of batteries and how old? Presumably you wiggled the shifter.

Have you ever driven anything with that much overhang? I really don't think this is viable.

The military issued geared lug wrenches are my #1 choice in unpowered lug wrenches.

Congrats on your win! Post a pic! Here's a pic of mine -
