Recovery Day

[skytroop232]

Tomorrow is the day, heading to Ft Knox. Leaving Columbus at 0500, gathered all, or as much as i could of the checklist.
Heading to NAPA on the way home to pick up my filters and some additional fluids.
I'll post pictures and a narrative on Saturday. Wish us luck!!

I'm in the same boat as you. I'll be on base at 1030 in RI tomorrow. Just had to battle the DMV today for hours to issue me a temp tag to get it home. Keeping my fingers crossed... for both you and me!

Good luck. When I bought my truck in TN I drove almost 500 miles home. I had no tags. several police,H P and others passed,slowed , looked just kept on going. I might have just gotten by with it .

I'm assuming you had your army gear on and waived? Probably just thought you were military or National Guard!

At least they do the temp tag there.

Nice truck, never have seen a spare mounted like that. not that I'm an expert. Good luck on the recovery.

Just got back from NAPA, it seems the Deuce takes more fluids than an M151...
Got my fuel filters and a bunch of other stuff on the list. Going to grab dinner and load the chase vehicle.
Good luck tomorrow, 272 miles home for me.

Is that a Navy duce?? Please put more pictures up after you get it, like the way they have the spare mounted. Good luck on the drive home.

what on the drivers side instead of the spare tire? inquiring minds want to know?

 

[Tackettr]

I have never seen a Jerry can holder on a mud flap, but I don't get out much.

 

[skytroop232]

Well we made it back, 272 miles with only a couple of gliches.
I'll elaborate in a new post tomorrow and add pictures.
14 hours total, there and back.
My butt is tired!!
