    Yeah it is a pain in the rear end running bobtail. You don't do it often but when you do you wish you could disable rear steer. We only did it a handful of times in Iraq. Mainly when another het was hit and the trailer was good we would send out a hett to recover the het, and a het to recover...

    Last battery showed below 9v, which happens to be below the threshold for a good battery.

    Ha ha, the wife would feel a disturbance in the for if I pulled up a xxx site on my phone, so uhh no. Night was peaceful, after I topped off this morning I realized Murphy will not let go, I must have feed it after midnight or he got wet from all the rain. Battery gauge on the 24v side was...

    Thank you so much. I think Murphy is clinging to the rear bumper. Stopped for the night in Baytown, raining so I figured I'll get a good night sleep in the 1070. Hopefully Murphy decided to take a break for a few days and let me finish this trip. I just want to say thank you to all who...

    M1070 recovery

    I know, I love being on the road, I miss it. But crap ola this has been fun to say the least. At least the chains did what they were supposed to do. Ok talked to jeep. If I can park the 818 somewhere here I'll be good, although I need to go find the part that broke and get the foot off of...
