It looks like a lifeboat attached to a ship, lol.


I said I was picking up an m1031...

Lol

This is a multi use tow bar...

Anywhere from 5 tons to trailers.

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..... :bigsmile: 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. :bigsmile:

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...

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. :ROFLMAO:

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.
