Kenny, The brakes on my M197 were smokin' in Illinios for a while (literally). I'll have to do a rebuild on them in TX.

DS, Not bad considering I was using a headset hooked into my CB/weatherband. I have some creative insulation on the interior of the truck to help too. Now I have a muffler and pyrometer to install before returning as well as a repaired tire and some touch-up painting too. I also have to work...

BTW, the pic of the damaged cable was the damage resulting with the trailer operating without stoplights or signals. We trimmed up the excess cable and got all the lights properly working again. The pic of the singled out rim is when we looked at an inner nut that had come free from the inner...

Ok Everyone!, The time is almost here! For those of you en route, if you see the below convoy do not think it's a military train. It's a sum of several months of hard work and preparation in moving to Houston. There will be several stops along the way to satisfy onlookers questions and...
