Road trip to Ringgold Ga.

[Recovry4x4]

The winch is no hurry. My trips to Blairsville are so short and activity packed that I may not be able to make it over the mountain. Next one comes in the March/April time frame.

At least the winch will be closer, we could wait for your return trip south, pull up along side you, then throw it over to your vehicle, this way you will not LOOSE any time.

You will need to drop it from an overpass. I hope your timing is good, my wifes car is very speedy.

It must not be a cucv then huh?

 

[Jeepsinker]

Oh no, my truck ran 55 with all of the laundry equipment on it. And what I'm bringing there shouldn't weigh as much as all that.

Nope, not even close. She won't drive on the CUCV side of the haus!

Kenny, I am heading north to the Athens area of the SSGA Mafia territory Christmas day through the following Sunday. Can I grab the winch for you? I have been to Miami Beach twice since I talked to you last.

 

[Recovry4x4]

If it gets there by then Phil, that would be great. I'd not lose sleep over it though! I'd be happy for sure.

 

[Jeepsinker]

If I could pick it up I can send it down with your 101 bed.

 

[Recovry4x4]

It won't be there in time for your trip Garrett but thanks for the offer. Not sure it will get there by the time Phil leaves. Just remember, it's no rush.

Best case scenario is early next week in NC.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Pat, don't sweat this one drop. Travel at your leisure. I do not need the winch anytime soon.

 

[doghead]

If you need to get it there fast, you can borrow my M1008!

 

[swbradley1]

You must have one of the slow ones then.

Looks like I'll be leaving later tomorrow instead of early in the morning. Just haven't had time to do all that I needed to do to get ready. Worked on the deuce all day today and I still have to change out a steer tire before I leave. I also have to go to town and get a few more weld on tiedowns to weld onto the trailer in order to properly secure the cargo., still have to load quite a bit of stuff and fuel the truck and my auxiliary tanks up. Never enough hours in a day.

 

[swbradley1]

I guess we'll see you when we see you. I'm packing for a fast/short trip.

 

[Jeepsinker]

I'm going to try not to keep you guys waiting on me too long, but as you know, the skinny pedal only does so much in the deuce.

 

[Jeepsinker]

I'm just about to leave. Once again, spent all day working to get ready. I'll drive all night and hopefully be there tomorrow afternoon sometime. I'm already beat.
