Thanks. Starting a new drug on Monday but having to sell my Goat and Deuce to cover just half of the copay. Plus I get the pleasure of 5 consecutive days of 7 hour IVs.

Motor Swap Update >>
Jeepsinker started yesterday afternoon right before a thunderstorm and rain delay. I got to Jeepsinker's this morning and helped him a little before I had to return home. In the sort time I was there we managed to turn one truck into several pieces. The winch came off very quickly once the drive shaft was off. I was really impressed by the combination of air tools and a wrecker! Here are some pictures as we started to dig in:
The scope of this mission has also expanded. Not only are we swapping the motor in my Deuce, but we are now moving equipment from Louisiana to Texas. I towed fuzzytoaster's M1101 home this afternoon. When I drive my truck home next week, I'll tow archmark's M105 home for delivery at the Texas Rally.

It's amazing how even with bigger tires a deuce looks so small next to a 939 series 5 ton.

That sucks about selling your rigs ! and the IV's sound like a joy also ! Here's hoping you feel better and maybe they can get this thing under control !

That is so true. The day I met two.fiveM35 was the first time I saw a 939 series 5-Ton in person. Their size is very impressive. Here's a good picture of my truck (far right) next to his old 5-Ton >>

Busy is a relative term. If the rain would just stay away now... I'm shooting for a Thursday pickup.

Jeepsinker fired her up tonight and expects to be done tomorrow. I'm excited to say the least! I'm planning to drive her home on Thursday!

Had to fire it... I wanted to make sure it ran before I reinstalled everything else around it!

Those look like the stock size ND tires on the deuce. Am I missing something?

Nice trucks. Is that a Pinzgauer at the far left? Those are really cool, but way too small for me.

The quote was in reference to M715mike's truck sitting next to Jeepsinker's M936. I just threw mine in there as a nose to nose comparison.Those look like the stock size ND tires on the deuce. Am I missing something?

I just saw a guy with Pinzgauer at Safeway today. I was picking up prescriptions at the store and there he was. When he came out I waylaid him and ask a few questions about his truck. He is actually a member here but hasn't been on the boards for a few years. I love those little 6X6 trucks !!! My wife loved it too ! and even said I should get one of those instead of the deuce.
