M-1082 is finally home in Florida @ my house after pulling her from Jame's place in Newberry. The 30 mile trip home was a breeze except for a group of 40+ bicycles that took over the entire lane of traffic running @ a fast speed of 20 mph. The road was a two lane narrow road with very few...
Fuel money sent after payday finally rolled around, sorry it took a week, but now I am having to pay hospital bills & didn't get FMLA/short term disability payments yet.
Wes, he won't accept it or any other payments or gifts; I have tried before. Let me try one more time. Thanks again for bringing the 1082 to Florida, I know Sandcobra's wife really was happy to see it go. Now, onward for more fun or back to work tomorrow!
Wes made it in with a sliver of sunshine left, unloaded the M1082, reloaded the HMMWV and is headed to a warm place for the night & supper. The Florida crew is done on this end with the recovery for Rodney, next up is the trip home to Cherry Point & a new happy owner of a HMMWV right before...
I'll wager that your wife is happy that you no longer have a tailgater following your truck around the block, or sitting in the yard. I still owe you a case of cold adult beverage of your choice & my thanks for watching over that beast till you got to watch it being trailered away finally into...
Wes,
I have limited room to actually store them, but James has almost unlimited room for tire storage for a reasonable amount of time. Moving them will be a chore if they are large tires. I will see if he chimes in here shortly.
Larry finally answered me back & he says that technically...
Sorry about leaving the trailer with you for so long, but the same time I had planned to come get it, I developed Tachycardia which shut me down from a 400+ mile drive in the Deuce. I'll get Wes to leave you a case of Natural lite for all your help with that trailer. Hope it didn't kill to much...
I tried putting a call & text for Larry to allow an inspection today, but he is not answering his phone for some reason. Will try again tomorrow. The pictures of the truck from GP are pretty self explanatory about the trucks condition. The only negative I saw was the bathtub in the roof full of...
I will get with him tomorrow to see if he can bring the truck to the staging area to look @. To actually pick it up, James or I will need the release form signed as to who picks it up & the rest of the paperwork as usual. We will see how this all shakes out in the next day or so. I can't pay...
I have all the info about the GP rep @ Lake Butler, his name is Larry & I have dealt with him many times during recovery. A very helpful individual! I can contact him to see what shape the truck is in as I need to preview a couple of items up for auction in the near future.
James is at it again, working miracles for folks here on Steel Soldiers & elsewhere. Kudos to James for being able to do all this in a short time frame of planning. Rodny123 must have really good karma to have all this help lined up on a Sunday after Thanksgiving. :wink:
Sounds like a great idea, we will have to see what the Op has to say as to what recovery method he has come up with. If good with him, let me know a time line. The M1082 does have the framework of the cover in the bed if that might be a problem. My place has limited moving/turning room for big...
I don't have a trailer capable of hauling the truck, but I live 15 miles from the storage yard & can flat tow & store the truck if that is what is needed. I do not think there is anybody closer. Does the truck run?
Now if I can just get my M1082 trailer from Albany to Gainesville. I be sitting...
