If you have any problems near SA on the way back let me know. I will be around all night. Or at least let me know when you are back so I can drool over the HET.

No problem.
I'm gonna stay the night at my buddies when I get back to sa so there will be my 818 and the het in his neighborhood.
Mps might come and knock on the door, lol.

MPs aren't that bad, they have dealt with me and my trucks for 2 years and don't really bother anymore. Housing is full of A-holes though.

So stopped for the night.
The first 120 miles went great once I got going.
Truck drives great, I know the buyer will enjoy it.
You really get a sense of how slow 45 really is sitting that high up.
Here are some pics.

I think that sitting high up makes it not so bad when you're only going 45.

Only when you get to look down at the carsI think that sitting high up makes it not so bad when you're only going 45.

So what is she doing a mileage? Also, I've talked to the buyer, I will tell you as well; that's a 377 truck. Be COGNIZANT of that fact! I have some horror stories about them from personal experience and know their practices is NOT just a COC issue. We can talk off line if you like. Just please be careful and o hope the trip is slow and smooth for you.

I was in two different HETT units, one active Army and one Reserve unit, and I never heard of a 377 truck. What's the skinny? You can PM me if you want to maintain OPSEC.

Did 400 miles today no issues at all.
Once I got the roof unit to stay open I got some good breeze on my neck.
Went through a couple patches of rain and windshield whippers worked well.
Cross winds were a b, but worked though it.
San Antonio traffic was amusing, no body wanted to get close to me.
Fuel wise, I topped off when I left. Drove 400 miles and the gauge shows right in the yellow
Now the gauge was about an 1/8th off when I topped off, but I think that is pretty good for driving though the hills and dealing with cross winds and head winds.
Tomorrow I am going to apply grease to the steering arms as I was a little concerned about it being a little stif.
When I parked my buddy was like a kid on Christmas. He used to work on them so he was climbing all over. I turned on the pto and we turned the main winches.
As far as 377, I was in a msb for about 5 years. I know how hets are treated so I spent about 30 mins before I even got in it. I am not about to drive 2000 miles in a vehicle I am not sure would make it. I was mad about the battery issue but it was expected. When I put the gp31 batteries in a couple of the hawker batteries said dead on them.
Well time to shower and sleep. Tomorrow is another day, and I will spend time going over it some more.
