Now there is the quote of the day!

I bought a set of magnetic stick on LED towing lights from Harbor Freight for flat towing a jeep. They say 12 Volts but they also work fine on 24 Volts. I've used these for towing a friend's car trailer with non-LED bulbs. EDIT: Realized that 98G said pretty much the same thing.

You could try a small roof-top RV air conditioner, but you would have to cut a hole in the roof. Many of these units provide heat too.

I mounted a smaller version of those lamps made by Specialty Lighting in the laundry room of my parent's house years ago. Within a week, it was blinking so badly that I thought it would give someone epilepsy. My dad and I replaced it with a much better fixture made by GE.

Got to start them out young. My grandson got a ride on the Mule before he was even born ;-)

Wow, you found it after six years. My dad has an M422 that he's owned since 1974.

Are you using something in place of the original pump?

How is the flow from the in-tank pump? There is a screen at the bottom of the pump that could be clogged.

Dextron II or III in both.

If the tires and wheel bearings are good, the trailer could easily be pulled by a pickup or car. With some 12 Volt lights rigged up, you would be legal. You would either have to fabricate a pintle hitch on the tow vehicle, or get or make a lunette to ball adaptor for the trailer.

If you don't need 6X6 capability, check out the 6X4 M915. It's 400 HP baby and most have AC. The similar M916 is 6X6 and also 400 HP. There are various automatics in both trucks.

I would go the bearings before brakes route too. You want to feel for bearing drag, not brake drag.

Welcome from Southern California. Check out our member map as well to see who lives near your proposed route. We love pictures! Sorry you're leaving Alaska, but I'm sure you'll enjoy Alabama as well (warm Gulf waters etc.).

Most DMV's here in the states are expecting a 17 digit VIN, and the person working at the window usually goes "tilt" if you present them with anything else. The serial number IS the VIN on military vehicles. Politely ask to speak to a supervisor and see if that will help. In the state of...

Impressive! Thanks for the write up.

Glad to see you're on the road again!

I would suggest moving the text "2015 Texas Military Vehicle Rally" to below the outline of the state of Texas. The design looks a little less cluttered that way. Great design!

That truck was ridden hard and put away wet. Look at the bulges in the bed.

The dual circuit brakes are an excellent upgrade.
