I want to hear about the explosion, the vaporized metal, the rain/water, the place it came from, all the other goodies you scored and see pics! 
Glad it was a successful and easy recovery!

maybe next time you might want to secure the batteries in their box.

Wow, you think? Maybe the seller could have, maybe the 3 guys looking the truck over could have, maybe the 300+ MVs parked all around caused a distraction.
There's another thread where batteries came loose in a deuce and left the truck stranded (still stuck too). Maybe next time you can comment on that thread?
In the end no one was hurt, truck finished the trip and the seller is sending everything needed to fix the truck.

Congrats! that's a smart looking truck! Sounds like what happened will be an easy fix. The more I drive my m818 the more I love the 5 ton. Have fun with it!
