Picked up a pair of nice low mileage M923A2 Military truck's from Wisconsin a few months ago. Flew in and drove them home. Exciting trip nothing like driving a 5-ton army truck 1000 miles with out ever hearing it run. Simple solution. Buy two in case one fails. So we landed in Chicago. Me my wife my brother and my dad. Rented a car and headed to Sparta Wisconsin. Spend the night at a hotel. Woke up the next morning and met up with a great guy to know Jeff who help us more than I can say getting these two monsters up running and sound for a trip. Then we hit the road. I made it a mile before the really nice luxury canvas top blew off. Oh did I mention it was raining and freezing cold lol. Well my buddy Jeff had a hard top laying around he was willing to part with. So we dropped off the rental car. Bolted on the hard top and started on our adventure! Would you Believe it rained almost the entire 1000 miles home! If you are familiar with military trucks, they aren't exactly water tight. Good thing we bought the rain gear lol.
So a day later with out any real problems we arrived home where these two trucks were destine to be something else. This post will be about the making of the crew cab check for the next post about the snow truck.
Good 'ole jeff in Sparta. He likes to siphon your fuel and swipe the new parts off your truck.
ReplyDeleteNext Time, just get the pair shipped on a flatbed for $1000 and skip storage, "repairs", flight, fuel and rental car.
Been there.
