Oh boy... Don't forget the fuel thread... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/steel-soldiers-rally/63139-cheap-fuel-haspin-2011-a.html

My EUC just cleared, so next Tues, we will know for sure what I've gotten myself into. Mine has the inverter upgrade, but I couldn't see if the inverter was there or not in my super fast 2min inspection job.

Great! Bring it to the GA rally! Glad the old girl woke up!

Sorry for putting you on the spot with the pins Gimp :oops: Even with what happened, I will continue to flat tow. I will pickup with my lowboy trailer more often than flat tow though, once I get the ramps fixed. But I'm not scared of it, and have done it safely many many many many times. I...

Uh, no my good sir, I let YOU pass me. I just don't feel like blowing the engine up yet. :D Yeah Dave, that's your M818. I haven't moved it to the 'storage area' yet.

Thanks DH, and thanks for changing the title of the thread to better reflect the content. Oh, when I say wire tie, I mean actual metal wire, like lock wire, that I tie. The lynch pins were not from TSC, they were from Fastenal. I've seen several trucks still in service in a convoy on the...

Lol the first 10min or so are boring! :grin: Just kidding. I like the passing shots and of me putting the hammer down and pulling ahead.

Ok, you guys are correct, I *don't* know that the pin broke for sure. I guess we can change the title to towbar pin fell out, or towbar incident, pucker factor 8. (not 10, I've had a 10, 10 is way worse.) I do know that my lynch pin was new, and that I wire tie them in, so that's why I...

I got almost a 1/4 tank of water in my dodge diesel one time from a mom & pop truck stop in VA. I was on the way here to SC towing my other pickup. I had to pull over several times, water in the fuel light, etc etc. Too bad I was halfway into NC when it happened, and I HAD to get to SC. So I...

Great Job WM, Bamalady, and Soni! I hope I get to see Soni's rig in person one day.:grd:

Bump for the night crowd

You should have done some research when we told you where to get a top. There were two reasons- #1 price, #2 location. The tops for sale by Clintogf (Dawn) are in Statham, GA. That's 75 miles one way for you. How long does it take you to drive 150 mile round trip? also, are you driving your...

I drove one to GA yesterday, that ripped up and started to come of a la Doghead. A roll of duct tape fixed it for a little bit, but with it being cold the tape didn't stick very well and it came loose again. Luckly I dressed warmly! I'd recommend getting a top from Dawn (clintogf) your going...

I have very little slack in my set up and the truck didn't move all that far to the driverside. I see what you guys are saying with two chains though. So I will pull the master link and get two 40k hooks and instead of going across over the front of the frame behind the bumper, I will loop each...

Ok, here is the crudely drawn chain set up. You come off the towing truck, and go under and inside the towbar. Then over it ot the outside. Then under the towed trucks bumper, then across the top in front, down the otherside of the frame, back out from under the bumper, over the towbar down the...

I have two 40klbs chains that CGarbee was selling for a long time. They have a hook on one end, and are connected together at the other by a master link. Gimpyrobb has new towbar pins- I PMed him and asked to buy 6, to replace all the ones in my towbar and have another spare new one. I wish...

Yes, it was mounted with the flat part against the flat part on the adapter. The shackle hole was ever so slightly egged. When I first mounted it, there was no play in the towbar. I always wiggle everything after the pins are in. I don't know if it broke, and then on it's way out it egged it...

No, it was a real deal towbar pin. I know it was properly pinned and secured, I replaced the lynch pin with new ones not that long ago.

I was delivering a deuce to Clintogf (Dawn) and one to TJP (new guy from AZ, I was dropping it off at his father in laws on the north side of ATL) yesterday. Angie drove my pickup behind me so I would have a way home after I dropped off both trucks. Anyway, she pulled ahead of me and headed...

I blow those train horns all the time. After 12hrs of blowing them every few minutes, you get tired of hearing them... I still would like a set for my m818, or m915 when I get it. Very cool with the PVC horn. I wouldn't think it would vibrate well enough to sound decent, but it sounds pretty...
