Gosh, so how many miles total in the deuce or approximate? Almost did a similiar type of transcontinental recovery, but didn't win the FT Riley M109A3 I was eyeballing. Oh well, no hurry. Just need to keep my eyes open
Say, what it that circular thing w/the hole in the middle and the two handles used for? I've got one that came with a truck and have been using it as a sledge hammer:oops: too cheap to get a real one I guess.
Hey Reub, gosh sorry about the rough news. Man, I feel for you. It's amazing how a fraction of a second could do so much damage. Thanks for the heads up on safety. Unfortunately it comes on no so good news.
Yah, I think that Ghost Riding the Deuce bit was just too much. Makes us look like a bunch of hillbillies w/crud like that. Definately doesn't protray us MV owner's as responsible. In fact I think the moderators should delete that thread so it doesn't get into the hands of another kid who...
Outstanding, ah don't sweat out the wait. It'll happen before you know it. Of course the first few days are heck. Keep researching on what to do on pickup and you'll help to keep your mind off the wait and increase confidence on your recovery. Now's the time to collect filters, deuce manuals...
Yep USMC DEUCE CPL has paved the way for us PNW'ers. I to am contemplating an 1800 mile recovery. Gosh I wouldn't even do this to get a new car, but a deuce in unknown running condition...you bet:razz:
Holy smokes you're almost there! Outstanding! Glad to hear everything is going well for you. Did you encouter much snow? Any recommendations for a long recovery such as yours?

Definately resubmit all your paperwork via email. The biggest problem w/faxing is the clarity of your driver's license. Print off all your paperwork, sign it where it needs to be signed, and then scan everything and attach to your email. I have always attached my documents via PDF files...
Typically this is what happens
-You submit your paperwork via e-mail attachments to GL
-GL checks it for errors and correctness-if there are errors it takes them 3-5 days to let you know what you need to do
-GL then forwards your error-free paperwork to Battlecreek (aka DRMO)-typically after 7...
