Just a suggestion here, but did anyone read the book and see what the factory reccommended???
I know most if not all military manuals feature a section on transportatio n of said vehicle.

Darren,

Robin Mawson has a specially built trailer for his carrier. (I know, I built it).

The front is tied down diagonally through the tow eyes. You don't have to strain the crap out of them to bend anything.
The rear axle has a chain around each side to prevent forward movement and just loads the suspension downward.

This set up has travelled thousands of kilometres over many years. Hasn't moved an inch.

Pulls it with a C30 that has been hotted up. Can maintain a good 80kph all day.

American manuals do that, but not so much the Canadian manuals.
