I thought it was mrfishaholic who lost 250 pounds, while sitting on the throne for 2 1/2 months reading tech manuals. That's gotta be one of the longest dumps on record.
Oh, and yes, you can dump the M101A2 as well, but it is not a recommended procedure. Surgery may be required as a result.
You can back up the M101A2 without the pin on level ground, but it is recommended you ALWAYS use the pin. You never really know what you will get into when backing up anything. Lots of surprises coming there.
So, if the holes don't line up, hook up your trailer to your truck pintle, and jerk it forward coming to a slow easy stop so it doesn't fall back again. Then put in your pin. good luck with it. Glad I didn't have to go out and take that picture. Looks like KS just painted his pintle. It looks fantastic!
