Hey Mr. red, it's been quiet, what is the latest news? Have you received any sort of compensation for the very likely bad studs? I take it your truck is still stranded down South? I hope you got home?

So now you're making a 7 hour drive too! Change that engine oil and filter too ;)

That's sure going to be a lot of connections and fittings to leak test! hehe

I thought it was theft deterrent. :-P Unfortunately, that won't help you from the metal scrap thieves when they find the place.

What about using the driver's side tank for the hydraulic fluid and then fuel only in the 55 gal passenger? At your 5-6 MPG, that'd still be, about, a standard 300 mile range (if the fuel pickup goes very close to the bottom that is, hah).

Awe man, those dang aluminum wheels.

How about fuel economy?

I drove the deuce in 1st & low, which was a bit faster than the wrecker's rear winch power-out speed in 4th. I definitely couldn't move the wrecker while red was on the brakes! Surprisingly, even though on a loose gravel surface, I couldn't/didn't spin any tire (front axle was not engaged). I...

That seat will certainly sit you up straighter, but I think it looks way more comfortable than the MRAP jump seat. Especially for getting legs under the steering wheel ;) Hopefully that blower fan still works. Does that style of heater have its own "radiator" like a the deuce? If so, I wonder...

That's awesome! Only a week of freedom and you're already parading it around. :-D

Maiden voyage with her new owner. I hope he stopped for fuel... She'll be back though. https://youtu.be/1egozqbvRm4

A rather boring video, but you can at least see and hear it moving a bit. I had to stop filming to perform my duties as ground crew - confirming traffic and neighbor's children clear. https://youtu.be/Y2W0VeK0ViI

It's actually my M105A2. I had it all covered for storage and tucked up by the house but had to move it due to a swarm of bees trying to colonize the eves...

The day I read this, I, sadly, knew that Wreckerman was pretty prophetic! I've sold this one here to my good friend red. Not that I didn't want the truck (far from it!) or still don't REALLY want a wrecker, but I think I'd enjoy it more if I had a very large building to store it and more inside...

Lets just say that from the tire handling and wheel dismounting I'm back to wearing my wrist brace from a yard work-induced bad sprain last summer. Red's tire work really wasn't bad, really, it wasn't, just "old" injuries acting up. Two people is the charm for working on MV stuff! Just make...

I'm totally not man enough to stand them up by myself, unless there's no wheel. :)

Yeah buddy! Real good news on the torque rods. Red, ya need to change a setting in Tapatalk to upload to SS instead of the Tapatalk server (why we only see just links to pictures instead of pictures). Edit: For the folks who don't want to follow the links to the pictures, here are red's most...

He also won't even be able to afford to pay attention!

This actually really surprised me, I had thought for sure that those bolts on top there would be just a little too tall.
