Next batch of photos


The 14 vehicle police-escorted convoy on a wet Sat. morning (I'm the 13th and Barrman's M715 is behind me).


A few from the ranch trails run stomping down the Bluebonnet flowers


Don't worry, we left plenty of Bluebonnets unmolested

Did the oil psi stay good all the way?

It hung in there around 30psi at speed. Was able to make it home just fine!
I really got to thank a bunch of folks for the help to diagnose the potential problem. Everyone jumped right in. Thanks guys!

We had a great time all weekend. I spent way too munch money, Fuzzy and CARNAC thanks for the parts/tools. Thanks for the hospitality and it was great to meet everyone!

CARNAC good luck with your tank!

Pics and GoPro convoy vid coming as soon as I have time to go thru them.

Fuzzytoaster's LMTV did well in the water pit

However, with 4x4 disabled due to a cut wire, his truck didn't do as well in the mud hidden under the grass.

Sunday morning, four of us convoyed home.

at the 100 mile mark.

We got half way home before we realized that we left Liberty's water bottle there at the ranch.

CARNAC good luck with your tank!

I bought a second Bradley and upengined it, with larger tires now. It does 90mph....uphill at a 65% grade, against a 120mph headwind, in 6 feet of snow in the middle of a sandstorm.

 

[Nitrodiver]

Let’s see if this works.

One just for fun.

And the one I think turned out best.
I didnt watermark these, too much trouble with a old computer. Just a right off if they wind up on the net somewhere..

Sorry for for the multiple posts. It wouldn’t let me post more than 2or 3.
Enjoy




If any one here wants to use any of the pics that’s fine with me. Just make sure you credit PointBlank Images and let me know where you used it. For full size 16mp of any of these PM me.

I just past one loaded on an 18 wheeler in baytown parked at I 10 and Thompson. Is that yours carnac?

I think his is still at Aberdeen undergoing trials before he approves it and takes possession.

 

[CARNAC]

If it was loaded on a truck then no. Mine is with me now. I drove it up to PA and got an amazing 1 mile to the gallon averaging 67.4 mph (including stops). Better fuel mileage than my Abrams or the aircraft carrier or my antique F14.

Getting the radiation shielding inserted and tested so figure that will add a ton or two. May have to tweek the suspension after that.

 

[Nitrodiver]

Carnac I have one maybe 2 NOS cup holders and (if memory serves me right) about 15 ft of A/C duct for a Bradley. I also have one Goodyear Mud Terain idler wheel, if your running those. If you need some extras I’m sure we can do some horse trading.

Yes i I know I started this!

 

[Maverick1701]

has there been any planning for the 2020 texas rally? I have the wife convinced to make the trip this coming year.

 

[TAZZJR]

Work is getting to me. I could sure use a weekend to go burn some diesel, hangout with friends, and play with big trucks.

The museum hasn't put up next years schedule yet:

Traditionally it has been the 3rd weekend in March. We will see.....

 

[Trailboss]

It looks like the museum has posted the dates of the Living History Weekend at the link above, March 28-29, 2020.

Can't wait
