Welcome! You'll soon have ten trucks lined up in your private motorpool!!

Something to think about if you drive your deuce year round where it's cold. I pay a huge house payment for SUNSHINE. 32 degrees? OMG! That's why I left Iowa. I doubt it's ever dropped to 32 degrees in Wildomar. :)

Looks good!

So if I want a "Clinto Approved" truck I just need to bid on one near you that was extended? Wouldn't do me any good - E U C.................. Someday................

Maybe I'll upgrade to a 5 ton before my deuce ever gets recovered. Bigger IS better, right?

Maybe a dealer needed more time to raise funds. :) Just kidding!!

It's illegal? GMCs and Chevy trucks had it as an option just a few years ago. (remember the commerical of the cowboy backing his horse trailer into a tight spot and the horse with his mouth open in amazment?) Not sure if it's still offered, but I haven't seen the commericals in a long time.

By the time my EUC clears, no state will even require a title for something that old..........................................

Mike, Easy and cheap. You just have to decide on if you want to get a private party listing, from a dealer or deal with GL and EUC hell........................... They all have advantages and disadvantages. Of course the more advantages, the higher the price...................

The Navy Exchange (NEX) has an Interstate Battery that is supposed to be 1000 CCA. $110 out the door - I'll probably get 2 of those if I need them. They are smaller than the 6TLs, but honestly I've never had much luck with the 6TLs in any of our Support Equipment. We switched just about...

Good point - airing down is the best way to go. When I was stationed in Hawaii at Barking Sands we used to get people coming by the house looking for help getting unstuck on the beach (it was an open base and we had the 1st house with a 4 x 4). Even the kids knew to ask - Did you air down yet...

Welcome and congrats!! Now post some PICS!!! :)

Gravel under the tires might just do the trick. Anything you can get a little traction on. Once you start her moving, you should make it.

That's, um, incredible................

I'm surprised Rat hasn't told the 72 Blazer-stuck-at-the-sandpits-front-axle-in-the-water story yet. Or don't go wheelin after 40 hours of cross country driving.

Congrats man! I was watching that one, but if I would have one it would have ended up parked at Rat's for years. Glad to hear she has a good home.

That settles it. I'll run Iowa plates and get me an Iowa drivers license. That should really make the SOCAL LEOs happy if I somehow manage to screw up enough to get pulled over.

LMK Rat - I'll swap my CA license for an IA license next time I'm in town. I'll just need to borrow your truck for the test.

:) Truely sorry if you thought I was making you out to be a whiner. You just have a different opinion than mine. Yours was a "rant" even (if I read the title correctly). I wasn't picking on you or trying to talk tough, just replying to your self titled rant and then replying to the reply...

Wow, that's all it took? Hello Cam, Senior Chief Ames, US Navy. Still active after 24 short years and 7 deployments.
