I drove my XM818 up to an auction company last week and it will auction off Wednesday. The main reason I posted this is because I pulled an equipment trailer behind it and thought some of you guys might like to see the pictures.
If anyone is near Greenville SC and wants to check out the auction, here's link to the site. Its actually the page the truck is listed on. It's about half way down.

Anyway, I made a piece to go in the neck of the trailer so it would fit the 5th wheel. I'm sure you could buy one, but I left my truck and the trailer behind it and the trencher on the trailer there for the sale. The ford was my ride home.
The truck ran fine but did get a little slow on hills. I found it hard not to over rev the engine going down hill. It was just so slow at 55 mph. I will be up there Wednesday just for the fun of it. I want to see what the truck will bring. I don't plan to drive it home so I hope it brings a little something. I also will be watching a bunch of FEMA trailers. I don't need one, but I plan to smoke them over and see if any are worthy of ownership. There are dozens of porta-johns for sale too. I have always wanted one![Mr. Green :mrgreen: :mrgreen:](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
