Now you've gone an done it!!!!!! Nobody can have just one. Congrats on the win and welcome to SS. If it were me I would drive it with a vehicle following just in case. Just check all fluids and if it runs and moves on site drive away.

Yeah would be alot easier than renting a trailer... Just worried about the unknown and not wanting to have to leave it on the shoulder of the road..

Congratulations on your "new" truck!
I recommend driving it home with a chase car - after all think of the adventure - the excitement - will it make it all the way home on its own? Naturally perform full PMCS before you start to roll - tires, batteries, fluids, etc.

Have a great time!

RE: New owner

When can I meet you there to pick up the truck? I have a replacement ox and he's chompin at the bit, We can give it a tow for you.

RE: New owner

If you cant find a trailer, just finding a tow dolly would be fine. If you go with the tow dolly put the tranmission in PARK, and the transfer case in NEUTRAL. Then be sure the front hubs are in the FREE position and pull the rear driveshaft. Then you will be good to go.
