I won an M105A2 approx 9-10 hours away in Arkansas and eventually I'll need to go pick it up. I haven't really seen any good threads telling the process of getting it, other than the nightmares.
I have two options, either adapt the FJ (the Toyota FJ is a half ton truck, comparable to a V6 F-150 with a 5000# towing capacity) to tow the M105. Or drive the deuce up there to go get it.
I like driving the deuce I drove mine all the way from Ohio to Texas. Also there's no adaptations to the deuce that need to be made, that I know of. However, even though my deuce will do 60-62 mph top speed with the larger tires and -A transmission, it's still a long trip.
Aside from figuring out which truck to bring I need to figure out what tools I need.
So far I've read that I should bring a BFH, a HI-Lift Jack, grease, basic tools, a spare, chains, maybe tire slime, and something to air the tires up with.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? Possibly a thread that shows a good example of a recovery that doesn't involve sticking it on another vehicle and hauling it off?
