    What a day that was. Haven't had to do that again fortunately. Can use the xm818 when the need arises now. Certainly was something different though :)

    Prius pulling. A recovery of sorts.

    True statement. Funny thing here, that our IP is but a few months old. Was reman by AMBEC back in 99 and sat in a box till we put it in back in February or March of this year. It's a late G code pump I think, has no FDC from the factory, To add some more humor here, I drove around for 3 days...

After driving a truck in the army, & years as a commercial otr & local driver I've long since come to expect thing to crap out at the lest helpful time. Just keep calm & carry on as best...

    Prius pulling. A recovery of sorts.

    Didn't lift the back at all really. I was honestly more than a little surprised that it even worked. Did it again this morning for giggles mostly, & the wife wanted a video of it. I'd post the YouTube link if someone would tell me how to.

    I'm going to have to differ on that one. The tow of shame is having to paying the tow truck drive when you can't get it yourself. I felt small and stupid that day. Stupid hydraulic head.

    Prius pulling. A recovery of sorts.

    Likely not what your thinking. Not pulling Prius with a deuce, but pulling a deuce with a Prius. Yesterday we went on a 600 mile round trip recovery of a M105a2 and 13 9.00x20 tires and wheels. The trip there, our load out, and the first hundred miles back went real smooth. Then the fuel pump...
