We're headed out now. Anybody need a ride along the way?

Welcome to the site. I would do the above along with putting a pipe wrench on it to try to twist it off and few taps with a hammer as you're working it.

I'll be towing the a 53' trailer so I might have to take the Copper city route. If someone wants to take the candy canes and put them along the Hinkley route that would be a big help.

I've got a few tires you can use for that or for whatever your heart desires ;)

Yes, I updated it. I'm actually working on packing my stuff in the back of the truck now cause I don't want to be running around Thursday morning like a chicken with it's head cut off. What no mankinis?

Let me tell you what it took to get me out. 1 International Scout 1 Chevy 2500 1 Ford F250 1 Land Cruiser 2 snatch blocks 1 winch on my truck 1 winch from the Land Cruiser The other vehicles dug themselves in as anchors as I winched in gave it a little bit of gas to move forward then winch...

I've seen Steve's work up close and can say that the truck's that he works on actually come out better than when they came off the assembly line. Please keep us posted as this restoration comes along.

I think that is why it has an ECV nose on it to allow the engine to move forward.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! True Knight guessed right. It was an experimental vehicle used to see if we could laugh the enemy to death. When they saw soldiers driving around in one of these the enemy would fall to the ground in laughter and this would allow the military to defeat them. It...

We are taking out a new MV, but by looking at the bumper numbers I can't tell where it came from. Anyone?

Are those the ones you use to take a shower with?

Back on topic, big thanks to saltydeuce for providing use with a few sticks for the camp fire. I went to his house this weekend and loaded up the truck. Do you guy's think this will be enough?

Haha...well I can't say that I fixed it cause now it is working as it should. I went out to work on it and it fired right up. Maybe the electrical short fairy took care of it for me.

One month until go time.:jumpin:

Do the 5 tons have a relay for that? I haven't been home to do trouble shooting.

Getting stuff ready for the trip and I'm trying not to do things last minute. The fuel shut off solenoid was shorting out on Brutus and out of pure laziness I put off replacing the fuel shut off solenoid even though it is easy to do I would just use the emergency shut down to turn off the...

Ever try that 2 part epoxy stuff.

Yeah, I'm taking out Brutus. If you want we can stop by your place and load up my truck with the firewood.

There's a nice pile, but that only looks like a day's worth of firewood. What about the rest of the weekend? I'm leaving Thursday around noon. I know Gripy likes to get there early just so no one can see him changing out of his dress.

That sounds like the way we like to do it. :beer: I have a feeling we'll get along just fine.
