I had been looking for one of those around here for some time. Mind if I ask your location, and price you paid? Thanks Joe.

I paid a little extra for mine and avoided the trouble of buying it directly from the government. I paid $900 from a guy on Craigslist in Wisconsin.

If you want to buy from the government check out:
http://www.steelsoldiers.com/

There is a bunch of guys on there that buy and restore military surplus items.
After you've done your research check out:
http://www.govliquidation.com/index.html

That is the government's version of ebay. I've never done it myself but from what I can tell it could take up to months to get what your bought. They do a background check on you for each purchase. A couple post i've read the guys have said they will never do it again because it wasn't worth it.

Some trailers to watch for are:

American m101a1 (no surge brakes)
American m101a2 (surge brakes)
Canadian M101 same name but a smaller trailer.

watch out for any other trailers. a lot are designed for very big trucks and weight 2000plus pounds empty.

Was it located in Wyocena, WI? If so I've driven past that one so many times thinking about buying it. I think they look bad ass, but just wasn't sure I would get that much use out of it.

I LIKE IT! X3 I'd leave it camouflaged. I just reread your post, 1300 lbs empty - WOW that sucker is built to last!!!!
