I want to thank Airbornebandsman for all of his help with this recovery. My hats off to you.
After recovering from the drive and having to fix the toilet when I got home, I finally have time to post the details and some pics.
The flight out was uneventful. The TSA didn't even want to check my junk.
AIrbornebandsman picked me and my son up at the airport, drove us across town. After picking up a battery and an alternaror, we finally made it to his house on base.
After an hour of replacing parts and checking fluids she fired right up.
We said our goodbyes and it was off to WalMart to meet CHOLL and attempt to diagnose his CUCV charging issues. We think we traced it down to a marginal fusable link on the 12v terminal block. He will check it after he gets back from Seattle.
It was time to hit the strip. Nothing like driving down Las Vegas Blvd in a US Government "For Official Use Only" vehicle....LOL
First stop was on the south end at the Famious "Welcome to Vegas" sign. Then we went back to Fremont Street to check out the crowds. The Consumer Electronic Show was in town so there where alot of geeks walking around.
Finally went to bed around 3:00am.
Then next day we hit all the hotels on the strip. Nothing like being in Paris in the middle of winter.
After all the walking, it was time to head home. We stopped by the "Gold & Silver Pawnshop" to see in Big Hoss or Chumlee wanted to buy the truck but they weren't there. We where hoping to be featured on Pawn Stars....
Stopped by the Hoover Dam and the guards just waved us thru. Great being in a Gov Vehicle.
For the most part the drive home was uneventfull except the hour parked on the interstate east of Flagstaff. That trucker had a bad day.
Hit a few tourist traps. Stood on the Corner in Winslow, Az. It was a site to see.
Great to be home and looking forward to the next advenure. Stay Tuned.
