Hello from South Central Ohio

[dclever]

Hello everyone,

Basically signed up because I am looking at buying a trailer on GL pretty soon and wanted to gather as much information as I can prior to the purchase. This looks to be a very informative site, and I am excited to be a member.

Welcome aboard from the South East part of the state. There is at least one other member from Chillicothe that I am aware of. Good luck on your future purchase

Welcome from Cincinnati. You know when you get that trailer you are going to need a military truck to pull it.

 

[DieselBob]

Welcome from someone not in Ohio...

Welcome Dclever!!

 

[gungearz]

Welcome to steel soldiers from the next state over. Which trailer did you buy? So we know which truck your going to get to pull it.

 

[dikwks]

Welcome from VA. I second the "you need a military truck to pull it with". That makes it so much more fun!

Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Accademy.

Watch out for that gimpyrob guy.......he ain't right.

I ain't LEFT either, I'm kinda in the middle.


Do you know the model of trailer you are thinking of buying? Some buy M105s and realize their Geo Tracker can't pull it. Maybe we could offer some insight.

WElcome from Chillicothe, glad to have another member so close.

Lancaster Ohio checking in, some members have a few extra trailers they may sell.

Welcome from Dayton. Cjcottrill is from Chillicothe as well so you may want to reach out to him.

You really should buy the truck first, that way it will be easier to get the trailer home.

I have a full size SUV, and I am looking at a M103A3 that has dual generators right now that is over in Wright Pat. Two of us are thinking of going in to get it (i want the trailer, he wants the generators).

To my knowledge an empty M103A3 sans generators would be around 1 ton? Am I close?
My SUV can tow up to 9K, so I am not too worried about it pulling her home as long as nothing is wrong with her.

Oh and trust me, if the wifey would let me buy a deuce, it would be in my driveway tomorrow haha I will have to break her in slowly, first the trailer, then the deuce, until then my SUV will handle her just fine.

Welcome from a Ohio native currently in WV. Trailers are a great way to sneak into the hobby. I've been to the motorcycle rally in Chillicothe a few times wild stuff.

1300lbs for an empty 101. WP is a good GL location, tell Andrew Gimp said HI.

 

[dclever]

Thanks gimpyrobb, I will say hi for ya if I win that trailer.
and thanks to everyone else for the warm welcome and information!

Welcome. There is a lot of good help available here. You might want to check the trailer out carefully. It looked to me that it might be an M105. GL is buyer beware!
