Right on Brother Rock the 2nd amendment a lot of people do not know that you can get your ccp in the sate of Virginia online an will be reciprocal with 28 sates.Al
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I'll come get you with towbars from El Paso the rest of the way home, for the actual cost of fuel. PM sent with contact info.Well I'm right along your route and I have some nice, new tires if you need a set (although they're on standard LMTV rims). If you break down between Houston and El Paso let me know.
I did one recovery where I brought an S10 pickup full of tools, parts, fluids, batteries, etc, with an empty tow dolly attached. I got to the recovery vehicle, serviced it, hooked the tow dolly to it, and towed my S10 home. At one point, I had to leave the recovery vehicle parked at a rest stop while I took the S10 for parts. It's like a boat or an RV towing a Dinghy. If you can get a 2" ball 25" high, the tow dollies are cheap to rent. And you can bring all the tools and gear you like.

Ive done similar quite a few times, except instead of a tow dolly, I just made milspec adapters for the front of the red truck and use the standard military medium towbar.I did one recovery where I brought an S10 pickup full of tools, parts, fluids, batteries, etc, with an empty tow dolly attached.

Nonsense.Its a fair price. But the miles on it is what pushed me to it. Only 850+-. Must have been a hanger queen. Or just not needed ?
I can honestly say I've met people who bought a truck off of GL with a low odometer and thought that was accurate. They ignored obvious signs of wear, like a brake pedal pad that was worn paper thin, and just couldn't believe it wasn't true. I could see them selling it as such and not intentionally misrepresenting it.In fact, if a seller is hyping his truck on the basis of a low odometer reading, I see that as a red flag because I wonder what else he's misrepresentating.
This is like a survivalist scenario. You can easily fill a 53' trailer with things that might be needed... and then you can easily find enough things left out to fill another 53' trailer.This would probably be best addressed whereas YOU list
what you are going to bring and "we"? might suggest what
you are lacking...
Think about that brother.
snip Roll the dice and risk it....
I did exactly that, but sometimes the smalls make a BIG difference.
Case and Point; WSUCOUGARX suggested to me that I bring a towel
to fend off leaks and windshield fog, I was SO GLAD I listened. Also
knowing how to do a COLAS test was invaluable! It is flat out STUPID
to hop into an Air brake vehicle w/o theory firmly set in your brain.
For that I grabbed a Class B licnse real quick. After that a knowledge
of how to jump a 24V vehicle and a pair of Slave Cables is VERY wise.
I brought 2-12V battery chargers and a long cord w/ splitter, just in case...
