    Looking at a 2200 mile recovery ! What would you take ?

    Now I'm confused. From my notes I thought that was the Alum. wheel to use ? They were black and weight 76 lbs.

    Looking at a 2200 mile recovery ! What would you take ?

    As for the route ,will be using I-10 most of the way. If I pull this off was thinking about getting a set of MRAP alum.wheels and maybe tires ? But maybe out of money for now ?

    I will call Blue Sky and check to make sure. They said the tow covered all my cars and trucks ? We will see. But thanks for the heads up !

    Looking at a 2200 mile recovery ! What would you take ?

    Have found a 1078 with low miles and I can pull all the PM's and TM's before starting. Other than a high limit credit card (LOL) what should go on the trip ? I have towing from my RV if needed. All of this will need to be shipped the 2200 miles from home base. So, give me a hand with the list...

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    Get one of the stainless steel welding brushes (small one) they work well. And don't leave anything what will brake down behind. I work in the marine business and that is what we have learned.Can you say SALT WATER ? LOL

    Michael,do you think the filter could be dropped down where the tank for the winch would be ? This is just behind the driver side front tire ? Then work the snorkel up behind the cab ? Randy

    I'm a little worried about working around the tires .If and when I get one. Have a old back problem and I keep thinking I'm still 18. Good idea to rent some other backs.

    I have been wanting a LMTV for sometime. How practical is this truck as a daily drive taking away the size and the cost of fuel ?
