I'm bringing;
1) Fast Orange hand soap
2) Rags
3) 3K generator
4) Electric & air 1/2" impact wrench w/sockets
5) air hose
6) extension cord

I will have normal hand tools and a complement of Milwaukee M12 and M18 cordless tools. I have a deuce clutch alignment tool for the endine swap. As far as the bed swap goes, I think Tom and I have everything for that. I also have a decent 12V compressor on board.

Why yes!! I believe having the engine there would lean heavily toward a successful mission!!

What bed swap are we doing, I want to make sure I have the needed rigging.

Jeepsinker · Oct 1, 2014

I'm bringing a chair. I'll supervise.

It would be nice to have someone narrate what is being done so others can learn

Coffey1 · Oct 1, 2014

Robert there's also a complete tire swap.
I think a wrecker picking trucks up would be better than jacks if possible.

And I am bringing the engine oil for Andy's motor.

Jeepsinker · Oct 1, 2014

I don't mind narrating.

The wreckers are up to the guys that own them if all agree , I'll be there and turn wrenches with all , but has to be safe and everyone out of the way , but very doable .

so I'll see you under Andy's truck soon . Lol

And if you could I'll bring some 6x6 and if you can as well as nobody needs to be near a trucks ass or front end by cable alone , a little blocking and I say let's go for it

Andy C is bringing coolant.

Ron, we are swapping beds between a contact maintenance truck and a cucv pickup. The contact bodies are peculiar to lift. Sped is bring 2 sling straps of sufficient length. Other than that, normal rigging stuff that we should have.

Im bringing the M1031 Contact Maintenance truck with torches and welder as well as other hand tools.

I assume SSGR14 stands for Steel Soldier Georgia Rally 2014?

This whole thread is like a big loop, and I'm on the outside looking in...

You are correct Jeremy. I changed the title so that it is consistent with the rest of the titles for the SSGR. ;-)

Ron,

Nothing really special for rigging. I pulled one off one of 2002ford's truck a few weeks ago. We just used 27 foot ratchet straps and my backhoe.
