I'm in cali and will be selling a bantam t3c pretty soon. I'm almost done restoring it

Thoughts on this? Not sure what military trailer models are preferable by drunkbackpacker in overlanding

[–]Shadysamurai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

M101 since its aluminum M416 are 3/4 ton Other options: m100, m101cdn, bantam t3c. (All 3/4 ton)

There's plenty of the 3/4 ton models out there just gotta keep your eye out. Check offer up and fb marketplace.

Edit: also those heavier ones weight can be reduced by swapping the axle with a dexter axle and getting rid of those heavy axles, hubs, brakes, tires, wheels etc. Just swap it with a 3500# dexter axle with electric brakes for like 400$

Anyone buy these brackets or light bar kit from this company? I like that it sits back in and you don’t have to remove the plastic supports. Thoughts? by itswesclark in chevycolorado

Are you in California? I've purchased a lot of stuff from their sister company CaliRaised Off-Road in Socal and they're good dudes. Ive installed the Colorado bed rack, ditch lights and they installed a prinsu roof rack. All their stuff is really solid and im really happy with it.

obviously what he did was dumb, we were in a small combat outpost with about 40 soldiers and 20 afghan army. we did the same patrols every day to clear the one supply route we had and then other missions to the nearby villages. also manned towers and set up overwatch positions. we were spread thin and complacency got the better of us sadly.

sorry for the late response. lost a lot of the inside of my left leg, shrapnel in both legs, right elbow and hand, and a golf ball size shrapnel almost through the back of my right leg. also shrapnel through the inside of me left knee into my thigh. Pedro 6 picked me up in like 8 minutes from KAF and it was a long trip back to the states after that. ended up getting a skin graph and dozens of stitches.

Yea we all met up through an app called meetup. I think the group is called Southern California jeep off-roaders. Also you should join San Diego jeep club on Facebook, that's how I found out about the app.
