Interesting fact I noticed today, the unit markings on both the trailer and truck I got from Fort Jackson almost 3 months apart show both of them are from the same unit. Guess I can claim I have a matching set minus the paint.

This past weekend my wife and I drove back up to Fort Jackson and picked up a 1998 M1102 and hauled it back to Florida. Should go nicely with the M923.

Tires getting mounted

4 tires put on today. Can tell the difference between the standard 1400R20 vs the new 395/85R20

Purchased another batch of tires for the truck this week. Winning bid from Fort Hooks TX on a set of 6 new tires on MRAP rims. Have 4 in the shop already getting mounted tomorrow and will now have a nice stack of spares to sit on for rainy days.

Luckily the place around the corner from my shop accepts the GI Bill which will help save me about $5,000. I was digging through my old papers to locate my military licenses to see if any were still valid but sadly they weren't and FL says it'd only be accepted If I was recently separated, I'm...

Well that's a kick in the nuts :) I guess it's a good think there's a CDL course just around the corner from my shop

Today I received the HSMV 82994 and 82040 (FL title paperwork) from GL for me to sign and return so they can issue me a FL title and registration. Question is I noticed on the HSMV 82040 (Application for certificate of title) they have the weight of the M923A2 listed as 21,470 with GVW/LOC of...

4 new tires arrived today. Hope to get these mounted soon.

Yeah was done in an instant. It was a very long trip but we made it back. I read all the reviews about the XL tires on here and took the chance anyway so lesson learned and can't really complain. I was still happy the truck made it all the way without any mechanical issues. Also, was...

My mechanic cleaned up the truck this morning and pulled it outside for a quick photo.

Posted up a thread for tires, hoping to see what's out there in the community. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?123921-WTB-1400R20-tires&p=1544794

Planning to be at the parade. Would like to get another Goodyear tire on the truck before then.

After sitting on the side of I95 for 5 hours waiting on a wrecker we finally got the spare on and made it to the shop. Now to search for a new set of Goodyear tires.

Yeah left side. Missing the 1 1/2 socket in my kit. Got the rest apart already. If another tire goes out I'll definitely have to ask for help since I won't have another spare :)

Good call except stupid me already called for a wrecked and prepaid over the phone.

To be fair to the truck it actually made it 380 miles without issue until the tire went.

It pulled pretty hard. Thought the truck was going to roll on me for a second. Managed to get clear of the road ok. Just hanging around waiting for a wrecked to show up. The position the truck is in isn't very good for the standard jack and seems I'm missing one of the large sockets to get the...

Yeah thankfully the spare is a good year
