Steering went neutral when I burned up the fuel in my jerry cans. 75 pounds of fuel mounted above the bumper, four feet behind the axle, and 18" off-center was creating dynamic steering anomalies. For an added 200 miles of range, I'll deal with it. The truck has its problems, but it has been perfectly reliable for awhile. Starts right up, 10 degrees or 110 degrees. We got a pretty good snow this morning and I went out trying to break the tires loose. That Eaton sticks like glue. I don't know if I'd say it's worth the money, but I'm certainly glad it's paid for. After messing around with the CUCV for a year and a half, it has stopped breaking down and quit eating all my money, which is a desirable trait in a daily driver. Feeling blessed to be able to focus on other things now. I hope everyone is well and had a good holiday season.

If I still had my pintle hitch... If I had someplace to park a trailer...

People born in Las Cruces think this isn't the middle of nowhere, but they're wrong. You saddle up for a 700 mile drive to buy things like this trailer, and you pay three times as much for it. There's at least one M1008 and one HMMWV in town. Somebody is going to be very happy.
