1 Down 8 To Go

[rumplecat]

Picked up my M105 down in Little Rock this week, one down eight to go, a big box trailer in Little Rock, a 5 ton flat bed at Hooks, four M105s at Hooks and the two enclosed 105 at Hooks, I hope gas prices don't rise over the next three weeks!

PS: The M105 rides pretty level behind the Armada with the raised pintal.

Pick up a set of magnetic towing lights to put on the back of the trailer. It'll keep a bored state trooper from emptying your wallet with his ticket book.

Otherwise, NICE!

I use a set whenever I tow, the photos above are me pulling the 105 out of the mud up to high ground so I could pull the cover off and add the lights. The troopers here are pretty good about leaving anything military alone, as long as you don't get too stupid and invite a visit!

James,
Nice idea with the dual pintle set-up! I wished I'd thought of that before. That sure saves time moving it up and down for different trailers. The uncoupled one doesn't interfere at all does it? Thanks,
Steve

I was worried about strength but the guys at etrailers said it was good for well over the 9K limit i haul, the lower pintal has the ball combination that really helps on the non military hauling.

James if you need some assistance recovering from Hooks just let me know and I'll help you out. I've never been there and I've been wanting to go.

Theodore:
It looks like I will be making four trips to hooks over the next 2-3 weeks, you are welcome to ride along on any of them.

JBK:
I got the receiver hitch from etrailers.com the lower ball/pintal hitch I picked up at Tractor Supply. They have a lot of trailer parts way cheaper than RV shops.

Cool I may have to hook up with you and go along for the ride. Let me know what your schedule is and I'll see what I can do.
