M109 recovery trip.

[rbeasley66]

Seeing Downtown Atlanta from the cab of a Deuce while on I-75 on the last afternoon in July is not priceless, it's HOT.....

Thanks, the traffic through is always unpredictable. You just know there will always be lots of it.

Have a safe trip guy!!!
I know towing a deuce with a deuce is not a lot of fun if you have hills or have to stop a lot.

Good Luck!!

We brought the air line and fittings to hook into the air pack of the towed truck, so we should have some extra brakes to help out. Fun, fun, fun!

Good Idea, I did the same for the truck I got from Nellis, but as it turned out the airpark was bad and leaking brake fluid into the air side.

Hotlannta at 1300. Should be headed up I-24 by now unless they stopped for chow. As hot as this trip would be, I miss doing any kind of long deuce trip. I will have to wait until October.

Your good Kenny, just ran over the Tennessee state line and we're on I-24 with lots of traffic cause their doing road work on a hot July, Sunday afternoon. We'll see what happens.

 

[rbeasley66]

There's one of those hills now. Lookout, its Lookout Mountain!

 

[davidkroberts]

Welcome to Tennessee!!!! your almost sorta halfway....lol

im leaving super early in the morning to take advantage of the cool weather. Hope you have a safe rest of the trip.

 

[rbeasley66]

Thanks. Leaving early is a good thing cause it's slightly warm out today.

The "Troll" is getting a early dinner.

 

[Welder Sam]

Gotta love it!

Be safe... yall camping in the 109?

 

[rbeasley66]

Nope, staying in a Days Inn right off base. Its got a shower and a soft bed lol

Just drove past Nashville. I'd sing you a country song but I don't think you could hear me inside this loud cab.

 

[rbeasley66]

We made it to Oak Grove, KY from Lakeland, FL after 748 miles at a moving average of 53 mph and 14 rolling hours. That bed will full good tonight, because tomorrow we do out all over again X 2.
Till then, Rick & Phill

I wish you clowns would have said something last Monday. I could have shipped over a pair of powercoms so you could chat with each other. No worries, they have a PTT so you can't hear each other singing or cursing.

 

[scottjhl]

Sleep well guys... You will need the energy to drive back... heck I need it driving a civi ar back 12 hrs from GA..

What speed were you able to maintain going up the hills of Tennessee and Kentucky? Good luck and safe trip!

 

[rbeasley66]

45 going north, no telling going south towing another 109.

We're here, now it's time to wait.

 

[neilhendrix]

Don`t you just love it when a plan comes together.

 

[Recovry4x4]

45 thru Monteagle in a shopvan is good. I marched up the southboud side 55 in my truck but had to slow down to wait on Mike. On the other hand I webt up I-181 to Kingsport TN in my deuce tractor and the cargo piggybacked, 30 MPH at the top.

A 109 pulling a 109 is cake. Try pulling an 817. I wish you guys the best of luck. You know, your not too far from the MVPA nationals in Dayton. I will offer up my "case de cripple" if you want to attend!
