Default M818 Pics
OK, here are some pics of my M818 recovery from Stout Field in Indiana a couple weeks ago. Not many from the actual road trip just a couple getting the jeep hooked up to the tow bar for the return trip, a few pics once it was home and a couple of the auction pics. It was one of the depot rebuilt trucks that were recently auctioned. The rebuild date was summer of '06. It had never been put back into the system after the rebuild as no registration number had been assigned to it. It only had 5 hours on it and about 100 miles. Added another 350 miles to it on the drive home. Only trouble was the high beams did not work. I still haven't broke the seal on the tool box, but I understand it is full of goodies!

Tow shackle adaptors from an M151 were added in place of the factory hooks. They work flawless. Had to move the fog lights out a bit.

**** those look perfect!!

when I had to transport our ex-97 TJ, I used the axle clamps on the bumper... had to relocate the fog lights temporarily.

Thanks Bruce. They don't come around like that very often. All it needs is to be driven. One of the big surplus dealers got most of them.
