That had to be a really slow drive.
Almost as bad as me almost pulling the het with the 818 when I made it to San Antonio.

If my calculations are correct, the deck on the front of the M750 is 113". If it has the tunnel box it's considerably shorter. Tunnel boxes unbolt. Here are the dimensions I had in one of my TMs. There is probably a way to do it!

I believe that space will be occupied by your trailer bed...

I thought the 151 was going from the rally to LA. Another option albeit a little work, is to use an M103A3 chassis and sling it on there. Would require some cribbing for sure!

And if you put it on there it needs to be triple redundant.

Rigging for air drop? Do we have any loadmasters in the house? Calling 2T2s.

Ya'll can just give it to me, I'll take good care of it! 
I need another. They're like potato chips, can't have just one.
I have a tow bar for my M151A2 that has a 2" ball hitch for regular trucks. Ya'll can borrow it if needed. Good for short rescue towing but the M151 doesn't liked to be towed with it's front wheels not lifted. Pull the halfshafts and bungee cord the steering wheel? That's how we used to tow them in Germany.
But then again ya'll can give it to me and not have to worry about it.
Call the GaNG and tell them to come and sling load the thing under a Chinook?

Not any more dangerous than you hanging upside down from your crane truck!

Stop it already. I'm tired of hearing all this stuff on M151A2s. Will there be any at the rally? Whiterabbit? I'd like to take one for a spin if possible. I've wanted one for years and I think that when I retire in just under 2 years, I'm going to reward myself.

The trailer bed is heading to the rally so the front deck would be empty heading back.
True Murphy loves me but I've been upping my karma points just for this trip.
Could just strap it to the roof of the truck, can't weigh that much, lol

He, he, he. Carnac knows everything. I knew you wanted one for Christmas.YOU GOT ME A 151??!!!
Too bad it would only be to unload the shelter and upload the 151 into my truck. I'm CARNAC, not Santa.

the wheelbase fits the M1101 bed. 85 into a 92" bed. But that is from dead center axle and there will still be the slop of the tire and height of the bumper front and rear and the trailer wheelwell in the center. Thoughts?
Flat tow isn't an option. The 151 is pretty crusty also.
Issue is I have to drop two shelters at Jeepsinker and then get the 151 onto the deuce.
Other option is to put the 151 into a 1101 and tow it behind the 5t all the way back to west TX.

Put the 151 ON TOP of the shelter or 170, chain and binder will keep it from going away, 13'6" is legal height

Perhaps a certain sinker of jeeps might attend this Georgia rally with an empty m1061 in tow. Maybe....

And I know with a wrecker sinker of jeeps can get a 151 in a m105 that he is more than welcome to borrow
