Dragging a Halftrack halfway across the country

[clinto]

The exhaust brake and manual transmission really made the difference.

Our company owns nothing but Cummins duallies, automatics and six speeds and having logged lots of miles in both, I literally can not wrap my head around buying an automatic. The sticks are eleventy billion times more pleasant to drive.

Hey
I just liked the "eleventy billion times more" stuff.

But if someone could bring me a halftrack for Christmas I would be eternally grateful.

.............. any halftrack

love my much abused and highly modified dodge dually/cummins, so much so if the deuce ever shells out the multifuel its likely going to get a 12v

 

[grendel]

Yes, for the moment. This move is the last hurrah. It's going up for sale right around the first of the year.

I am interested

I'd love to pay that halftrack a visit sometime!

Wow,glad you made it safe, 98G! You have some of the craziest recovery stories! I've thoroughly enjoyed reading them ever since I joined.

Poor 98G his luck is pretty rough.... I agree mostly on the manual over automatic statement. I have had a few f250's with automatics wow was it nice... I do enjoy my z06 6 speed pretty good it would not be as awesome with an auto.

Three more trips completed MN to AZ. Here's some random pics mixed together from the 3 final trips.

These trips were completely uneventful. Oh yeah, except the emissions crap on Redtruck picked the end of trip 2 to decide to clog beyond the ability of a regen to fix. It will no longer be a problem..... deleted, with extreme prejudice.

I'm done. Trailer is posted on Craigslist. If it doesn't sell in Phoenix in the next few days, I'll drag it back and sell it in OK.

Food looks yummy! Done dragging stuff around for awhile? On a side note, thanks for looking over the listing for that M927A2 I bid on, before I bid. I didn't win but the thought was very much appreciated!

Is the cat your navigator?

Is the cat your navigator?

That's the ferocious Nastycat; bodyguard, shredder of fingers, and general reason for me to exist.

Oh, and she has opposable thumbs -

 

[Dwnorton1]

Don't think I have ever seen cat with thumbs. Road warrior Nastycat. Nice.

She doesn't seem that bad to me...

Not as much fun as Rover, who plays "fetch."

Nice looking halftrack. If I sell my private jet I can probably afford one.

Wow, that is not a word you hear everyday. In fact I don't recall ever hearing it in 17,224 days. lol

A friend of mine had a polydactyl (AKA Hemingway) cat named Mittens. That was my first introduction to that kind of cat. I'm a big time cat lover. Before meeting Mittens, I never knew they existed.
