    Just won a 5 ton in Barstow. Who's can give me some pointers for picking it up?

    Picked it up today. Truck runs great, only issue was the start switch has dirty contacts (works fine after a few uses) and the wiper switch had an air leak. Fixed that, pulled the cargo cover and bows, checked everything out and drove it 175 miles home. Had 3/4 of a tank of fuel when I picked it...

    I have said over and over again that I would only be towing it off base this way if I had to. Please read before responding.

    Just won a 5 ton in Barstow. Who's can give me some pointers for picking it up?

    Arizona does 3 day trip permits for $1. Insurance guy already got me handled even though my liability policy covers anything I drive. Just waiting on the actual VIN. Once again I will state that flat towing would be just to get it off base if they didn't allow drive off, moot point now. I...

    Just won a 5 ton in Barstow. Who's can give me some pointers for picking it up?

    I should be more clear, flat towing would only be at 5 mph to get it off base, then I would just fix it. I've rebuilt transmissions on tailgates to finish the Baja 1000, no reason I couldn't repair what was needed to make it road worthy before driving home unless it's terminal. Worst case...

    Just won a 5 ton in Barstow. Who's can give me some pointers for picking it up?

    I've already read the TMs but I will go over them again before picking it up. I gotta go get it before I head to San Felipe on Thursday, so timing is tight. Sucks, my buddy at Fort Bliss has been giving tow bars away beginning the first of this year. I think they are all gone but I would have...

    Just won a 5 ton in Barstow. Who's can give me some pointers for picking it up?

    I have insurance for my business that covers anything I drive plus my regular auto insurance which covers my other vehicles. I will check everything out on the truck before it's driven, no worries there. I am also bringing a expert on these who spent years fixing them in Iraq. My Dodge will drag...

    Just won a 5 ton in Barstow. Who's can give me some pointers for picking it up?

    It takes that long huh? I was worried I did it wrong. I'd rather drive it off but if not I'll have to build a quick tow bar and drag it behind my Dodge. Anyone local to Barstow/Daggett that wants to help?
