I extended the tow bar so that even at full lock, the m1031 will not hit the back of the m934.
I can only tow 38k lbs..... in addition to 10k lb of cargo..... Off road...
On road.. Cargo capacity is bumped to 20k lbs.

Oh. I guess understanding of the earlier post would have been enhanced if I had known what the hell an M1031 was.
M1031 is a maintenance support truck.
7kw pro genset.. On board air.. Welder.. Etc..
Basically... Anything goes wrong with the 5 ton, the M1031 is designed to fix it.... Within reason...

Just out of curiosity how much experience do you have driving something that big around city streets?
You should see the maneuvering we had to do with those, and tanks in the tiny streets of Korea/Germany. There was one genius that thought it would be a good idea to pull up close behind an M1 Abrams at a traffic light. When the light changed, and the M1 turbines roared to life the front of the Beemer got melted.

If I'm in the city... I've already failed.
Side note..
Primary storage location failed... Said they had room but changed their mind, apparently.
Now I gotta find some place to keep it.... Ugh

Got $20k or the ability to make payments on it? I got LOTS of place to keep it, all ready to set up and park, including natural shooting berms and a portion of a pond. Power and phone available, probably able to even put in a septic system and well if you wanted. Has high tension lines going over head, but does not interfere with a stable cell signal.
