They said they had it out back but it was part of the salvage yard stuff. We didn't actually go look at it as we were trying to get to Topeka that day (didn't even make it to Salina). Super nice guys at the yard. They used the fork lift to get the tires to the trailer and then one of them...

Pulled the tires I intend to keep, 6 and a spare. All look pretty good but 2 of them are almost brand new. Now the test is to air them up and see if they're sound. They all seemed to have air when we picked them up but seem kind of limp now. That's when it clicked that they were at 6000' in...

Made it home last night around 9. It was a fun trip but very long. I'm probably going to be out of it for a week or so just trying to recover. Turns out I had about 6 sets of lift rings, 4 sets of tow shackles, 2 sets of tail lights, a couple of pintle hitches, rope hooks, tie down loops...

Had lots of fun and great to put some names (or user IDs) with faces. Hope I was able to help some folks with some decent prices. I am disappointed nobody wanted Goat tires though :).

Well it was hotter in Kansas the last 2 days so I'm kind of missing Texas. Missed you by a couple hours your last trip so hope to meet you this time.

We're at the Super 8 too. Set up next to MWMules in the Domer Arena so come on by.

Mark your PM box is full.

I had thought everyone had switched to MREs by '83. I know we had a mix of Cs and MREs in Basic in '81. A little surprised to see them throw that case off the truck.

Woke up in Denver to a flat trailer tire, broken valve stem from either a tight curb or someone that doesn't like trailers. Luckily there was a Discount Tire 2 blocks from the motel and they fixed it for free. The load out in Cheyenne actually went quicker than planned but hit some major traffic...

There's a mix of OE and retreads but they all look pretty good. I didn't have time to inspect them closely as we were trying to get back on the road but all of them looked very useable.

Cheyenne, WY The engine and a set of fuel tanks were the only Goat parts he has left. He's got an M54 W/W but that was the only other MV he has.

Believe or not I got 4 sets of lifting shackles:oops:. Also got 3 sets of tow shackles and a whole box of rope tie down points. Luckily the tie downs were used on loads of vehicles. There is also at least 1 correct style tail light. There are several lights but I didn't look at all of them. He...

Not now.

Got the tires!

Stopped for the night outside Denver. We'll hit Cheyenne in the morning for the tires and then be headed east before lunch. Should make Topeka tomorrow evening.

Well Mark I have to say you made me feel so much better about the one I got. I started to tear up a little just thinking about starting on yours. I don't have a lot spare anythings (other than tires) but add a list of what you need in the thread and I'll certainly keep an eye open. I'll be at...

Glad I don't have a big enough trailer or I might let my "not big enough" wallet have the better of me.

It is one humid mother today. I did get the truck loaded and ready to leave at 0500 tomorrow morning for Cheyenne to pick up 36 Goat wheels/tires then it's on to Topeka! See everyone there.

Tires are still good on that one.

Bottom left of the pic looks like the winch drum. I'm surprised they dropped a winch truck given the extra weight. They recommended not floating winch vehicles as it would make them nose dive.
