    I have a 5 ton if you need help moving it.... My tow bar is in the 5 ton... of course, 70 mile round trip @ 5mpg + toll is not optimal but it's an option of last resort if you need help. The tow bar itself isn't an issue, I can run that up in my CUCV... Are you recovering it from JBLM tomorrow?

    Yup, and you have yourself a new slave host as well, so if you have another .mil vehicle, and a slave cable, you're good to go... :D Sooooo nice being able to walk up to a dead 900 series, plug it in, wait a couple minutes, then crank it over and hear it roar to life...
