NO the engine is NOT painted tan... that's the "preservative dust" that gets all over EVERYTHING in west Texas. Thanks for your thoughts on why the front drive may have been disabled. Good call. I DO have the front driveshaft. It rode home with me in the minivan with all the other parts and...

(...CONTINUED:) Spare Tire Rack and other loose parts. Once I got home I unloaded the four INTERSTATE Batteries.... I set them on the Deuce tailgate and hosed off all that "protective dust". Will be taking them by O'Reilly for testing on Monday. Well, that's it for tonight..... Stay...

SITREP: RECON AAR: Well, this weekend has been a BLAST !!! Friday evening was Recon Trip prepping and and early lights out (relatively speaking). Then Saturday I was westbound just before dawn, scoped out the location of the truck, hooked up with the Sheriff's Deputy/Point Of Contact for the...

Thank you Gentlemen for your paint scheme suggestions. Please review previous posts. The plan for painting has already been decided. ========================== RECOVERY UPDATE: On short notice, I'm going to make a solo RECON trip to Midland to scope out the situation. I'll be carrying basic...

Being a part of the tourism industry the DUWK operators probably also pay a hefty TOURIST ATTRACTION tax that the municipality has calculated to include a "FEE" for the use of the boat ramp(s). Sounds to me like we have A LOT of guns going off half-cocked in this discussion both in the local...

They look kinda "cute". Shouldn't that Mercedes emblem be changed to MATTEL though?

OK - This is exactly why the wise owner and moderator team of this website instituted the RULE: • Do not post in all CAPS or in giant run-on sentences without punctuation. Do not post as if texting and do avoid the use of texting abbreviations. We are not the grammar police but we...

Indeed, October usually does bring rain to San Angelo. But so far as the coming week goes there is no substantial chance of precipitation in the forecast. We would be BLESSED with rain and I wouldn't complain if it did, but as you suggest, we WILL be prepared.

Thank you for the great seat suggestion. I may have to use it. As for rain..... Nothing in the forecast for at least the next 10 days... This IS dry west Texas!

Wreckerman: An apology! I mis-typed the distance from San Antonio to San Angelo in my earlier reply. (I have not edited it.) We are actually about 200-210 miles from San Antonio - NOT the 100 as originally posted. OOPS. Unless you have other reasons to "head west young man" we could (and...

Yes, from Dianna and I also.... A hardy and heartfelt HAPPY BIRTHDAY to mamabear (aka: Mrs. pappabear, "mother" of babybear) !!! May her day be blessed in abundance. And may she see many more birthdays to come. AMEN.

What is "ikr" ???

I ask that we all take a knee and pray safety over all the MV hobby and their other users as well. Heavenly Father, Keep us safe as we enjoy the vehicles You have blessed us to possess and operate. Be with us always. In Jesus' name we pray. AMEN.

PB, you are good.... REAL GOOD ! ! ! You have taken what I (jokingly) dramatized and glamorized it ! You have a way with words... almost rivaling Wreckerman's silver tongue. Be blessed, Bro!

Alas.... Still chained, a captive on the trailer. You're probably not feeding it nor allowing RED CROSS packages to it either. WE MUST START A CAMPAIGN - - - FREE THE K-18C !!! FREE THE K-18C !!! FREE THE K-18C !!! Carry on.

Thank you. I'm not considering the front axle option for the 109 mile trip, just to get it off the fenced and gated Sheriff's Office Impound Yard where it is currently parked. Once it is off their lot then I have essentially satisfied the PICK UP WITHIN 10 DAYS condition of the auction. This...

Sounds good, gentlemen. I'm still waiting for a callback from the S.O.'s POC. (Sheriff Office's Point of Contact). Questions asked are specifically about location - room for tow truck or lowboy; is it aligned with gate or will it need a magic wand to weasel it out of a tight spot. The pics...

Thank you all for the congratulations and other kudos. I humbly redirect it all to HIS honor and glory. One snippet of this story I'll add tonight: Both Dianna and I had prayed about bidding on this truck. We also asked for some revelation as to HOW MUCH to bid. After a couple of days we...

Thanks, WM. Yes, we shall pray for your son's Basic Training experience. The chance to meet you - even though San Antonio is a 200 mile hope from here would be a great plan. Do you know the date(s)?? John edit: Corrected distance - 100 miles was a typo - 200 miles is correct.

Indeed. We have been very patient waiting for a truck that would be one of HIS choosing for us. To emphasize this, it is about as close to us as any auction might be; it seems to be in reasonably good condition; the end price for the auction is certainly a blessing; the point of contact for...
