    Extreme Expedition Vehicle

    We have thought about the singles, but one of our trips convinced to stay with the duals. A big old rock took a huge chunk out of the tread on one of the steer tires. We just took off one of the rear, switched it with the bad front, and away we went. Since we go out in the the extreme boonies...

    Extreme Expedition Vehicle

    Yes, Maynard83, good eye - that is the propane tank. It works good, but on the next one, we may set it up a bit different. Right now you have to watch those big tree limbs! Oh yeah, Mr Gimli says to tell you that we have a remote fill right by the passenger door so that one does not need to...

    Extreme Expedition Vehicle

    Here's some more various pics for you. The frame is 1 1/2" steel tube with what my supplier calls "paintable galvanized" 20 gauge sheet metal skin, riveted onto the framework. All paneling, most of the trim and other pieces are riveted also, so no worries about screws coming undone. The roof...

    Extreme Expedition Vehicle

    Ok, ok! Here are some interior shots for you all! It involved climbing on the sink, hanging in and out the door, and some rather rude positions to get everything in but there you go. Here's some of the mods we have done: Cab - new seats (woohoo!), single windshield, new wipers, frames...

    Extreme Expedition Vehicle

    After looking at the 109's for possible RV conversions, we decided to make our own!! This allowed us to run all wiring, plumbing and etc within the walls, easily hidden. We purchased an awesome 35A2 from Rueb aka bigelk50 in Oregon last fall and brought it into our steel fabrication shop and...

    $150,000 for a deuce?

    NICE! but seems like a lot of money.

    Lots of black smoke

    Mr Gimli says to check one of your fuel injectors - might be stuck.

    HEMTT Prices and availability

    :rolleyes: <-----That's the little green gremlin of jealousy. We'll keep our eyes open and hope one appears in our life too. Can you register it as a motor vehicle?

    HEMTT Prices and availability

    Hmm. Well, I guess the phase "wishful thinking" is appropriate here. How and where did you get yours, Stalwart?

    HEMTT Prices and availability

    The HEMTT's have really caught our eye! What's that you guys alway say, can't have just one MV...?? Some questions for you HEMTT guys: 1) what can we expect to pay for a decent machine? 2) Does GL sell these or where we can find them? 3) Are there many out there for sale? 4) Parts - can they...

    Anyone else see that torpedo boat?

    Wow, seems like a good deal. You always have this silly little hope that it will go for that itty bitty little amount you have socked away and you will score the deal of a lifetime. It was past my budget soon as someone bid the $150 opening bid. Oh well, we shall dream on. Thanks!

    Record Time At GL

    My first one got turned down, this address didn't match that address, stars weren't aligned correctly in the sky, whatever. Second one sat on someone's desk in BC so long or got lost or again the stars weren't right and they gave me my money back. Fine, be that way. Got an awesome M35A2 from...

    Anyone else see that torpedo boat?

    Did anyone see how much the winning bid was? I missed the close of the auction and I couldn't find it in past results. Just curious.

    rflegal - what do you use your truck for?

    deuce w/ shipping contaniner?

    Unless you need to sit in the middle of your hurricane, why do you need the extra weight that comes with a sea container? We just purchased a M35A2 and plan on making our own box from steel tubing and sheet metal. Of course owning a metal fabrication helps in that aspect, I guess. We are...

    I found out my deuces’ name is Bert

    We bought an old Ford Flatbed for our fabrication shop, and whacked off 6 ft off the back and of course, it became BIG BOB. That started a silly tradition and every vehicle, whether personal or for the shop, ended up a Whatever Bob. Car Bob, Little Bob, Bus Bob, etc etc. It only stood to...

    A little EUC help please

    I got turned down for my first because phone numbers/address did not match. I guess. No one could tell me why. Now my second purchase is requiring a third email of all forms and license because no one recieved the first two. I sent it to the link on the website so it had to get there. Where...

    Top speed / tire size

    thanks, but I AM the wife and I am egging on my husband! We like to be a little different than everyone else, and these MV's are perfect.

    Top speed / tire size

    Wow, that's better than I thought. But what to you mean 14:00- is that a tire size?
