Well the wrap up to the story is I helped Sarge and Rory pick up Sarge's new Clamshell Shop trailer yesterday (wait until you see the thread on that) and sold my M1009 to M813rc (Rory). Luckily I also picked up another 1009 up in OKC and if the EUC will ever clear I can get that. Trouble with it...

Well there is now a foot-note to the Ft Bliss trip. I was heading down to San Antonio to pick up my friend and then head up to Austin for the Lonestar MVPA meeting at Camp Mabry last night. I had just stopped and fueled up (25 gallons) and pulled out on the hiway when I heard the dreaded...

NDT said he thought the top was for a 900 series but I'm not sure about the rails. The trooper didn't care about anything other than there were no plates. Contrary to most intelligent people I attempted to argue with a copy of the regulations but finally gave up and just handed him the trip...

It's in the same place. Unfortunately there wasn't any contact info around. Maybe FMJ can scope it out since he's in Las Cruces. Much shorter drive than mine.

Good thing I got home late last night or you would have paid more for the top.:grin: All of the MVs in the pics were in what appeared to be a truck salvage yard about 10 miles east of El Paso. There wasn't a sign or anyone there but we were able to squeeze through the locked gate (oops, did I...

Well I used mine for tapping down the top bows:wink: I would imagine some highly motivated grunt used it for setting the grounding rods or for tightening the lug wrench since I couldn't budge the lug nuts even with a star wrench.

If anyone ever tells you that in the state of TX you do not have to display license plates while driving a former military vehicle still painted in military colors, don't believe them. If they pull out a copy of the TX statute 504.502 and show you that same information, don't believe them...

Back to our intrepid adventurers at Ft Bliss... My compadre on the other hand being removed from the Army by a mere 3 months thought it better to hit one of the motor pools and see if he could get chummy with someone and maybe talk one out of them. So while he was haggling over a pig-tail I...

Okay, I have to say my road trip recovery events are not near as exciting or nary as hairy as Sarge or Green_Gator but are fun never the less. Sunday a friend and I set out for Ft Bliss to pick up my new MEP003A Genset. We were driving the M1009 that I had just gotten a week ago and this was...
