Just to be clear, Tim originally said the last weekend of April, 4/29-30, but the Air Show is 4/22-23. If you are marking your calendar or asking for a wife pass, make sure you use April 22-23.

Not sure about the exact mileage, but it looks like about 1.70/mile which seems pretty reasonable to me. Myself, I'd take $6-700 for fuel and $1000 in cash for potential towing and parts, and drive it home. Check the lists of recovery tools and parts on previous posts and have an adventure...

Congrats on your truck! Call or text CSMDavis (his PM box is always full) 601-264-3453. He has the bows and cover kit new-old-stock still in the crate. I bought one from him for my truck.

Welcome, and nice truck and bikes. If you can fit between the trees, the truck should be able to go almost anywhere to recover a dead bike.

That's a hard way to get good at something! Practice like that I could do without. Hope your next trip goes smoother.

Thanks, Chief, That's what I was thinking, but wasn't sure, and didn't find any past threads about it.

As I was refueling the 80gal tank on my M925, I decided to rotate the fuel in my 5-gal diesel fuel cans. After I poured about 3-4 gallons from the can, I noticed that it didn't look like diesel - it was gas. I probably filled it last summer for hurricane prep and forgot I had gas in a yellow...

RATS!! My wife informed me that we have a schedule conflict, and there is no way we can rearrange it to allow me to attend. I hate missing it.

Going to try to make it again. Great Fun!

Are you talking about the Naval Air Station in Belle Chase? There is Bayou Segnette State Park about 15 mi NW of there by road (10 miles by pelican). they have RV and primitive camping there for about $10-28 night...

Pioneers carried toilet seats with them? Learn something new everyday. Never saw one with Ward Bond or Charlie Wooster on Wagon Train. :smile: ETA: Rats, Scar59 beat me to it while I was catching up with the thread. :-?

It's been 36 hours from his last post, and he was 20 hours from home. Just wondering if he made it home safe.

Good Luck, stay warm, and have fun!

The 3/4 ton rating is based on off-road use. Highway rating should be 1.5 ton if the tires are rated for it.

Don't wait to refill your stocks. Diesel prices here just jumped 8 cents after being stable for months.

Or just buy the M101A2 or M101A3 with the 8-lug pattern and surge brakes.

Looking back, today's crisis is yesterday's adventure :D Time turns pucker factors into campfire stories. BTW, your truck looks bigger than the halftrack in your photos! Had the same thing happen to the US Navy flatbed trailer I used to haul tires to the GA Rally in Oct. It made the 600...

Mechanical issues make recoveries challenging enough without having to deal with suicidal drivers. Glad you made it home safe.

Welcome! I guess the term "Big Boy Toys" needs to be modified to gender-neutral :D Hope you can make the TX rally - the ranch is a great place to play with your truck.

Great work! I know you have to have the mule way forward to keep the trailer from having too much weight on the rear, but watch out for sharp left turns (especially when backing) to keep the truck from hitting the mule foot rack. Have you considered loading the mule backwards?
