Sounds like a great idea. It rains so little in AZ that the wipers on my Jeep dry rot long before they ever wear out. Still think I'll take your advice and go with the better air tubes. Thanks for the info.

How do you like the air-powered wipers? I used to have a 1968 AMC ambassador with vacuum powered wipers, meaning they only worked when you were not accelerating. :cookoo: They ran real fast when slowing the car down & stopped during acceleration. I think the air wipers will be much better.

Looks very nice, like it was always there!

Welcome from Arizona.

And I'll be doing it each time as part of my checklist. A happy truck makes for a happy driver.

Yep, I finished reading the Multi-Fuel Engine Truck Operator (comic?) tonight and it said to drain them all before startup. I want to keep my truck running as long as I do so will follow the book and hopefully get a kiss at the end of the day from the babe riding with me.

Thanks for the info. Yep, I'm 90% excited and 10% worried. Not sure if that is the correct ratio, but I can adapt.

On my truck, I'm pulling off the spare tire hangar & putting another tank on that side so 50-50 saddle. Should give me 500-700mi range (depending on the wind).

Looks like someone hit your hood with a big rake. What caused those evenly spaced dents?

Awesome, my reading selection for the weekend.

Thanks for the info. I am trying to read everything here.... So many threads, so little time. ;-) Concerning the "At one time this was true as a rule." Would that happen to include the 1970 Kaiser Jeep M35A2? That is the year and model I will be picking up.

Thanks. I have downloaded a lot of the TMs and am going through reading them. Read the Multi-Fuel Vehicle Operator book this morning (the one with the cartoon figures all through it). I remember when I was NBC NCO in Germany in the 1980s, I came across a similarly done book on how to use the...

Speaking along these lines (since I haven't acquired my M35A2 yet), is there a water drain in the fuel system under one of the filters? I used to own a 1982 Chevy Silverado 10 with the (ghastly) 5.7L diesel and I remember having to check the glass jar on the engine & drain out the water with a...

The box passenger seat was removed and a 2nd driver's seat was installed on the passenger side so her ride will be the same as mine. Definitely planning to stop for cushions if we need them (flying there to get it so can't take too much with us). I'm taking the torque multiplier I bought with...

I've had the Bible with me since I got my first smart phone. I still have my analog version at home as well, but doesn't fit in my pocket and the ones that do won't work as I don't have room to carry a magnifying glass. :naner:

We were actually planning to get a GoPro camera & do kind of a documentary of our journey. Not the whole trip (come watch my home videos... for 3-4 days), just interesting parts. This is the longest road trip we have ever done so it is going to a grand adventure & the maiden voyage of our...

What about wheel chocks? Anyone carry beefy chocks like these? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004I6N88S?psc=1 Or are the little regular ones Ok? With 46" tires, they can easily climb over 11.5" obstacles so are smaller chocks too small to be of any use for the deuce?

Sometimes. Never on payday though.:lol:

Here is the route I will be taking in May. Any Steel Soldiers along this AO?

My biggest manual transmission driving experience is when I used to drive the 78-passenger school bus at our church to go around town and pick up kids for Sunday school. That was a while ago, but I didn't ever run over anyone or anything and I've driven sticks almost my entire driving life...
