A link to my recovery post I thought I would post a link to the thread I started detailing the trip back home from NV.

It was charging fine until the last day. I did allot of miles at night the first couple of days and was checking all of the gauges frequently. Yes trying to charge dead batteries with a alternator can kill it, as can running it with out a hot exciter wire (e.g. the batteries dead or the...

I suppose I should post something here about my recovery given the help I received from three wonderful members. My thread on the Inspection/loadout forum set things in motion. After my EUC came back in less time then I could really even process that I had bought a deuce 1400 miles away...

Kind of let this thread go, but I thought I would post an update. It looks like right now, that I am going to head out to LV at the end of the week to pickup the truck on Friday or Saturday, then hopefully drive the truck back over the next few days. I have spent the last week assembling a...

I actually know a guy that travels all over the country doing recovery of items such as this. Not really sure of the forum rules on this type of referral, but I don't work for or with him and only know him in passing (last time I saw him was a couple of months ago at an airshow actually). I have...

Slow isn't really a problem, without any heating elements or pumps running I don't see any reason you couldn't just let let trickle down through the filters 24/7 when the bottom barrel fills the flow will stop, and when the top barrel is empty (or the level is below the output) it stops. No need...

Ok, I sketched out a quick setup for a relatively low cost wmo system that I would like some thoughts on. I have an large heated garage to put this in and since it is always 65+ I think that preheating can can wait until later (maybe) The design is relatively open with room for easy upgrades...

Nice write up, like the BFL on the door of the truck too.

You could grind it off, however if you managed to warp the face even slightly you may have a difficult time getting it to reseal. A visit to a machine shop may be in order.

Heat gun off the vinyl (as you did) then use a razor blade and adhesive remover to get the majority of the glue off. Then you wipe it down with adhesive remover to get whats left. I have taken off more decals than you can possibly imagine at work and this is the best method I have come up with.

BadMastard, have I mentioned recently exactly how much I owe the three of you? Seriously, if you ever find yourself in need give me a holler and I do whatever I can for you. Thank you for the photos also, so much better than what I had. Looks like she is going to be a fun project cosmetically...

Out of curiosity did they let you drive it off the GL lot with out a tag? I would love to hear a run down on it driving, starting and running it great, but the brakes and transmission are always of concern. I am so happy right now that I could scream like a little girl actually. PM to Badmastard...

Alright, PM on the way. HUGE thank you for you and badmastard, I can't tell you how much I appreciate both of your help with this, this entire thread is a testament to this community and, that there is still good people left in the world. Hmmm, i would take that trade, dry rot for a reduction...

Just looked at the weather out there Current; 94, 10-20mph winds, with a high of 102. Heat index: 90.... I don't think I have ever seen a negative heat index out here lol. Hope things are going well guys, can't wait for the report to come back. :jumpin:

Hey, don't sweat it, I meant to send you an IM earlier that we had things sorted, I will let you know if it needs a tow, I think at this point if its not mobile I will likely have it taken to an RV storage lot, I have found a few fairly close that should be able to store it, and then deal with...

Alright, a quick update. Madmastard is going to do a quick inspection for me Thursday (Silverstate may be able to be present too). After we/I know a more accurate condition of the truck we can make better plans. Silverstate has offered to transport and store the truck if its able to move under...

I am pretty open to about anything at this point, I hate for you guys to have to do all the work, but if your willing I would be more than happy to do what I can to help and compensate you for your efforts. I will review some of these posts and send some IM's.

Perhaps 'panic' is a bit of a strong word. I am trying to get ahold of airbornebandsman. I have a ton of options really. I the tow to RV storage is nice, I can always get it shipped (already have a decent quote). Its just a matter of getting all my options lined up and picking the one that works...

EUC cleared in 12 days, I have a theory about why it came back so quickly even being my first, but its speculation. Badmastard is correct though, work has me locked down for the next 6 weeks, and I just got the paid in full invoice email 5 minutes before my last post. So now I am in panic mode.

Well to add to my frustrations, I just got my paid in full invoice. Seriously, how often do people not want those to come back quickly? I have a few phone calls to make to hopefully get things lined out since i won't be available for 6 more weeks.. If all else fails the tow to an RV lot is...
