Recently got my M109 with Haggerty, 600/yr, Can't complain as I'm 22. Lovely lady on the phone, but she didn't seem that interested in learning what an M109A3 was. The paperwork is correct but the call went something like: "Is it really a Jeep?" "Yes ma'am, that's who made it." "OK sounds good"

Inspection-wise, the black stuff on the roof will come off easy but there's still a couple more holes than I'd like, and the transfer case is leaking a good bit but nothing bad enough to stop me from just refilling it until I get (presumably) the seal replaced. Tomorrow I guess I'll try the...

Also gotta mention the cop that said, when I reported in the hit and run, "all it says when I bring this license plate up is Jeep"

Good news, looked and only saw like a nub so glad that's not something else needs fixing lol. Finally made it home, just pulled a 6AM-2AM straight to get me the other 630 miles, one hit-and-run by a semi truck later lol. I see the point in convoys now... strength in numbers. Need to source new...

My buddy has taken plenty but I made the decision to get a flip-phone after ruining 3 or 4 "indestructible" smart phones and he's holding the rest over my head for now

Back at it. 300 miles to a buddy's place in LA, 600 to final destination. The squeaking noise doesn't appear to be getting worse -- will be greasing more zerks as recommended soon. Looking up.

Thanks for the tip. We did 200 miles today. I figure getting forced off the road by 18 wheelers is part of the experience so I'm choosing not to mind it lol. Starting off there was a intermittent noise coming from somewhere, seemingly a rotating mass, it may have gotten worse but I'm not sure...

Made a couple friends got a guy who wired it up started perfect air went up right away bout to let water out the air tank and take it to buddy shop where he can help us with a back outside tire w 0 air pressure

Heres what I'm working with, tryna figure this out

So we got to the truck, gorgeous thing but someone evidently stole both th batteries and there's two junk ones, one split in half, sitting in the lot. The 5 ton at the auction is gone. So I'm guessing someone drove the 5 ton out with my batteries. Gonna try to get it wired with new ones

Good info! Wheel hop + unproven tires sounds like a bad idea so I think I'll reconsider! We will be doing our inspection tomorrow around noon, I'm not one to refuse advice but we might have it covered. If he's in the area and feels like stopping by to help he's very welcome. We can send him...

Thank you again!!! Brakes or something going out I can handle and manage but wheels literally falling off has me petrified. I'll be looking at the manuals for bearing Zerk locations after I'm out of this 12 hour shift

Thank you!! I can look further into it soon, am I correct that a bearing check would involve removing the wheels/knuckles and pulling the axles?

Another good point, thankfully I believe this is already covered. The box is lined with reflective tape and the standard reflectors. Hazards will probably be on as well.

I'll be considering the 11's if I lose too many 9.00-20's on the way lol. 3 days, good company, and some solid noise canceling headphones... Shouldn't be too bad lol long as we don't throw an axle or some completely new problem I've never heard of before. We are planning on driving mostly at...
