Sending my Deuce to Organizational Maintenance Unit (a.k.a. Jeepsinker)

Motor Swap Update >>

Jeepsinker started yesterday afternoon right before a thunderstorm and rain delay. I got to Jeepsinker's this morning and helped him a little before I had to return home. In the sort time I was there we managed to turn one truck into several pieces. The winch came off very quickly once the drive shaft was off. I was really impressed by the combination of air tools and a wrecker! Here are some pictures as we started to dig in:

The scope of this mission has also expanded. Not only are we swapping the motor in my Deuce, but we are now moving equipment from Louisiana to Texas. I towed fuzzytoaster's M1101 home this afternoon. When I drive my truck home next week, I'll tow archmark's M105 home for delivery at the Texas Rally.

Thanks. Starting a new drug on Monday but having to sell my Goat and Deuce to cover just half of the copay. Plus I get the pleasure of 5 consecutive days of 7 hour IVs.
That sucks about selling your rigs ! and the IV's sound like a joy also ! Here's hoping you feel better and maybe they can get this thing under control !

It's always amazing how smooth things go with the right tools !

Jeepsinker fired her up tonight and expects to be done tomorrow. I'm excited to say the least! I'm planning to drive her home on Thursday!

Yes, Sir. It is.
I just saw a guy with Pinzgauer at Safeway today. I was picking up prescriptions at the store and there he was. When he came out I waylaid him and ask a few questions about his truck. He is actually a member here but hasn't been on the boards for a few years. I love those little 6X6 trucks !!! My wife loved it too ! and even said I should get one of those instead of the deuce.
