I've let my 923a2 sit too long while I've been battling cancer, and now my super single Michelin tires are checked and cracked with age. One is completely gone. So it looks like I need tires all around. New or used, with or without hubs. I'm in Nashville, TN. Anything out there?

I've got property out on the Piney River near Bon Aqua, TN, and I hope to build a cabin there this spring. I'll be using the truck to transport materials and my Case XT85 Skid steer.

Home At Last Wooo-Hooo! What a wild ride! Made it home with all our fingers and toes, and minimal collateral damage. To everyone who told me I should trailer it home to avoid a potential disaster, you were right. We had a couple of really close calls today. And to everyone who said to me...

Coming up on Huntsville now. Haven't lost any big chunks of the truck recently, which is pleasant change. Lots of rain, both inside and outside the truck. Lesson learned: gorrilla tape sticks to wet glass and rotting canvas better than almost anything.

We've dodged two deadly bullets inthe last two hours! We were just south of Montgomery when the retaining pin shook loose from the spare tire crane and a 4 foot section of heavy Iron pipe came flying off the back of the truck. It bounced past me in the Chase vehicle and fell harmlessly...

Darn iPhone. That was supposed to say "we are rolling!"

We This morning we replaced the seal around the hub and bypassed the CTIS system. Almost to Montgomery. So far so good. Making some improvised modifications to the convertible top, as it's starting to rain

It is ON! The m923a2 is in the Days Inn Parking lot outside Ft Rucker, and in the Morning we head north to Nashville. Aspann has been a guardian angel to us, and there's very little left to do before heading out. We have some leaks around one of the hub seals that we plan to address with some...

Hey Guys, i've GOT to brag on Andy (aspann) for stepping up and making my first recovery so much simpler and easier. Andy drove out and checked over my truck last week, and yesterday he actually picked it up from Ft. Rucker for me, and stashed it safely at his farm. And if that's not enough...

Thanks Much! I'll certainly keep you posted as this situation evolves. (or devolves, as the case may be!)

Unfortunately my Wingman (the guy who is actually competent to drive this truck 375 miles home) had to reschedule a concrete job, and so we are bumped back a week on the recovery. New plan is to head south from Nashvegas on the 15th, and drive back Wed the 16th....

"With your truck having the CTIS I would plan on every tire that is sitting flat to blow on the way home." Is this because of the nature of the tire sidewalls and weight of the Truck, or something specific to the CTIS system? I can disengage the CTIS System for the trip home if it's a source...

"There are several of us down this way that can lend a hand..." Thanks So much for the info and the offer of a safety net. Are there any specific hoses you would try to have on hand for a recovery, and if so, would they be available locally or within a 5 day window on the internet?

Thursday I spoke to Doc, the GL man who covers Ft Rucker. Andy (Aspann) and a mechanic friend are going to drop by this coming Wed and give it a once over. I'm planning to Drive down the afternoon of the 8th and (hopefully) recover the Truck on Wed the 9th. I'd love to see your A1, and I'll...

Well, Juanprado has already hooked me up with a couple headlights, and Aspann has very kindly offered to swing by Rucker and give my truck a once-over to see if there are any other obvious issues before I drive down from Nashville. If there are significant problems, I'll try to get a local...

Wow, that is way more help than anyone could hope for! I will PM you with the details as soon as I can raise the GL rep and work out the pickup location and timing. Perhaps we can at least determine if this truck a realistic candidate for driving home before I make my trip down there. Again, I...

Many thanks! It's great to know there are experienced owners within shouting distance. Yes, the fact that the Serial number and mileage shown in the Video agreed with the auction's text info was what gave me confidence that I was actually bidding on that m923, rather than an unseen m931 as...

How does one arrange for a local "checkup"? Did that happen on the base before your drove out? Is that something the GL Rep at Ft Rucker might help me to arrange? (I've been unable to reach him thus far, and I've read in a post elsewhere that he is only there on Wed) I would feel much more...

Yeah, I had already convinced myself I should just buy a solid, totally checked out m923 or m35a3 from a reputable dealer. Then this truck popped up: Singles, low miles, dropsides... just what I was looking for. And with 15 min to go in the auction, it was sitting at around $3500.... I had no...

Here's a couple Picts of the m923a2 I just bought and the mislabeled listing...
