Well guys, the wife is starting to think maybe its too big for our plans and maybe we should sell it. If we decide not to go through with it, would anyone be interested in buying it? Im still trying to convince her it will work, but she is nervous about the whole thing(now that im already here to pick it up lol). We have around $7000 into it now with airfares, insurance, registration, rental car, fuel, misc stuff. We could deliver it almost anywhere for a price or you could pick it up here.
Hopefully she decides to keep it, who knows with women lol. It's 05:00 here in NC now and it's 01:00 at home so in around 4 or 5 hours i will have her answer. I'm really looking forward to this trip so i hope she does'nt back out.

Well, They are at Continental Tire in Fayetteville right now, looks like 2 bad tubes (spare and Rear Front axle inside drivers side tire ....... hopefully that makes sense) are repaired. dealing with a stuck brake. passed along tips from here about reversing to brake loose and tapping with a hammer (don't know if they can get to it). will update if I hear anything.
Plans... maybe... for the truck are a mobile studio for the wife up there... if not, they may sell (she's concerned about it being too big). NOTE: his wife, not mine. lol.

I caught their tail end passing me by as I pulled out from the hospital (normal appt, not an emergency). They got on the road about 2 hours ago.

After a long day picking up some stuff in Jacksonville, NC, we went home and unhooked the trailer/unloaded. Then got my friends trailer and went to Kernersville to pick up some stuff at the freight terminal. After leaving the freight terminal we saw a M934a1 at the local sheetz (gas station). I had seen this post earlier so figured it might have been him. We turned around and I went inside, found the guy with a camo hat, and asked if he had the army truck. Sure enough it was him! Talked for a couple minutes and then I had to hit the road, gave him my number and told him to call if he needed anything, I guess it is going good as I haven't heard from him. He said the stuck brake had just about worn itself down and seemed to be getting better. Looked like a nice truck from what I could see though.

Thanks guys wwill check it out. Just left Twin Falls Idaho on the last leeg of the journey.
A HUGE THANKS TO BIKEMAN for taking the time to look things up and reach out to the SS gang for answers when we had trouble.
We are not there yet but hopefully no more issues.
Running at a steady 2200 rpm doing 58-60 mph power seems to improve as we go.

Ohhhh.... this is an AWESOME idea. I didn't even think of it... I don't know how far you may have to detour though... call them first thing in the morning. I just sent you a text with their info.
