G'day guys,

I'm working on the Trumpter M1 with Mine Plow and am about to go shopping at MouseHouse models to "Aussify" it... (decals and steyr rifles)

I noticed that they have a cool Aussie 1/2 tonne trailer (used with Land Rovers) and I was wondering if it might look cool on the M1s tow hook...maybe for some sort of admn move...

What do you think guys? Dumb idea? Good idea?

Considering that the Abrams' exhaust is in the hundreds of degrees and would roast the trailer, I think it would be a dumb idea. After about a mile, everything in there would be burned up and the trailer would get tossed around. I doubt it would be able to stay on two wheels for very long. This was a common occurance when M113A2s pulled M105 trailers in engineer units.
