Just stumbled upon this thread.
Our heartfelt condolences to Sam's family and friends.
Heavenly Father,
Please watch over this brother's family and all those who knew him. Bring them peace where questions may linger.
In Jesus' name we pray.
AMEN.
The lighter tow vehicle will be DOMINATED by the heavier towed vehicle on a tow bar. And steering forces applied by the tow vehicle will be overridden by the heavy front end of the begrudging Deuce, thereby easily pushing the tail end of the civilian pickup into a dangerous and unforgiving...
PLEASE stay on topic.
This thread is about parking heavy vehicles on concrete driveways.
Please create another thread for the off-topic discussion being conducted here.

Thank you.
Gotta LUV watching this ol' MV's hard at work. I think they like it too.
That is excellent advice. While watching the second video caught myself saying the same thing out loud hoping I would be heard. LOL
Carry on.
Thanks for reviving interest in this event.
Send out a scouting party. Formulate a strategy and then let's see about executing it.
:driver::jumpin::tank:
Indeed you ought to!
I highly recommend it for anyone "in the neighborhood" during planned travels and well worth the trip for anyone who needs an aviation destination to justify a multi-stop trip.
Aw....Just thrown Soldier B under the front wheels and back 'er out!
Or, you can rig for fording and just drive through.
Please post pics of your recovery efforts. :driver:nopics
ODF/Mark:
WOW!
We're lifting you up in prayer for pain relief, healing, and recovery.
That's a "modification" you need to reverse... and SOON!
Blessings inbound.

I agree - That FC Jeep Ambulance is a gem. And the fact that is was US NAVY would seem to make it an even more rare bird!
I too have coveted owning a Jeep FC of any model or year, but the pick-up version would be my honest "choice". I recall an FC Pick-Up from my youth that was equipped with a...
Brian,
I've sent a PM.
And since this is also out in the open forum.....
Apology FULLY accepted.
Forgiven and forgotten, brother!
Though your insight into the aviation-world's perspective was just as informative as the original topic. Thanks for sharing it.

Welcome aboard :-D
Find a bunk, stow your gear, and prepare to get underway :driver:
You're in a pretty part of the country to enjoy MV'ing around. :jumpin:[thumbzup]
Once again we have some excellent candidates. A quick decision would not do any of these fine entries justice.
I would really like to see some SERIOUS CAMPAIGNING before I cast my ballot. You know.... REAL and MEANINGFUL campaigning! Not talking idle promises and rhetoric, nor colorful...
WOW !
I don't know what diameter pipe you've got to use to achieve any reasonable flow, but I'm glad we've got a troop of your caliber assigned to these duties!
:goodjob:
And, as PB already wished unto you, Drew.....
Live long and prosper!

Jack Stands are a wonderful invention.
HOWEVER... I have never fully trusted them.
THEREFORE... If I am going to be working along side (out-from-under) the elevated vehicle, I will typically trust my over-rated Jack Stands. When working on my POVs I will use RAMPS if I don't have to remove...
WOW ! Using SIX 6-Ton Jacks to levitate a truck that weight 13,000-14,000 lbs should sure render a nice margin of safety.

I posted this in another SS Forum a couple of days ago. But it seems to fit this conversation as well.
Some people can't even tow a small trailer in a forward direction, let alone trying to back it up.....
