Tire guy I used said the same thing, at first. Two split tubes later he agreed to replace with the correct size. The smaller tubes might work fine if you stay on pavement or never have anything heavier than some kids in the back. But if you ever flex the tires you'll be in trouble. Luckily...

Because when we drove by the first one my little girls (then aged 9, 6 and 4) thought it was "the coolest thing ever!!!" And when I saw the grins on their faces after the test drive I knew there was no turning back. Now I'm addicted to the fun and have picked up a second truck and a trailer...

Just a week? I think I'd need surgical assistance to remove it. Is awesome to see what the 109 is capable of. Thanks!

Seconded. I yard park and a cover would be a welcome addition. Probably too much $$ thou...

As promised here is a time lapse video of our actually rolling through the parade. Camera was taped to the top of the cover of my M105 and pointed forward at my M35A2. 2012StPatsParadeTimeLapse - YouTube

Welcome to the fun!

Here is a pre-parade video from the MVCC in the Denver St Patrick's Day Parade. Basically a walk around of our entry with 22 vehicles (including weasel and gama goat) and 7 trailers (2 on one Deuce)... 2012StPatsParadePreWalkAround Next video will take another day or two to edit and upload...

Under Colorado law an adult can ride in back at any time. Kids however have one rule: all seat belts in the cab have to be occupied by (younger) kids first. Then you are good. As for carrying in a parade, even though you are on a road, that road has been legally closed and it is treated the...

You do not need a garage with Gulfway. That fact is why I went with them. I've got both an M35 and an M109 covered by Gulfway and they are fully aware that both vehicles are yard parked.

Two words for you: chop top Don't do it, its hard enough to see out the front windshield as it is...

One other thing we noticed on the way home, the transmission did not seem to like downshifting on hills. Does this sound familiar/right?

Now that you mention it, I think that one 55 hit was on a downhill. Just a tease I guess... :lol:

The spare is literally new with nubs and all. The rest are more used than the miles on the truck can account for but are very decent shape...

Thanks for the offer, it is appreciated. Luckily the only issue turned out to have a quick solution.

We pulled into the motor pool (my backyard) at about 3am yesterday morning. 1070 miles and ~39 hours after pulling off base. Other than the one battery connection issue the truck ran like a champ the whole slow way. :) Considering that this was my first GL recovery, and a long distance one...

A truck that starts without external cables: priceless Nimrod jerkboy blasting his radio outside my window 2 hours before my wake-up call: not so much Back on the road.

Quick update then sleep. (Tried to post this at 0430 local but phone wouldn't finish POST) Made our exit at Gallop for the hotel around 0140, but the truck only made it halfway up the ramp. I was in the chase car, but leading with GPS navigation for the hotel. Had to double back 4 miles to...

M109A4 recovery complete Have to make this quick since we're still on the road tonight and I'm doing this from my phone. 9Had fun getting to GL at Nellis this morning since the official directions say go to the main gate and its actually on the other side of base through a completely seperate...

OOooo, did that with a load of junior marine corp kids in the back after a parade. I swear that sign made a move at me. I've also never seen kids move that fast ever. They'd apparently decided to sit facing out after I started moving. Any bets they wont do that again?
