    Big Bend NP Get Together?

    Tim, I appreciate the offer and would love to see Colton but think I'm covered. Keith is going to give Juli a ride to town tomorrow to get my truck (had to drive myself but with the new brace no way to get home on my own) but other than that we're good. Just kind of disappointed that I was just...

    Not beforehand but now.... Unfortunately already spoken for.

    Big Bend NP Get Together?

    The good news it's not a "displaced fracture" so no surgery is required. As for now I'm in a hip to ankle brace and can put absolutely no weight on it. It won't be until the next x-ray, a week from Monday, that I find out if I can fly. I'm scheduled to be in Idaho on St Patrick's Day and I'm...

    M116A2 Expedition Trailer Build

    Maybe a little epoxy to fill in the crack? I gotta stop trying to walk and chew gum at the same time.

    Big Bend NP Get Together?

    Tore the ligaments in my right ankle. I have the ortho on speed dial. I give him so much business that he got me in 2 hours after calling on a Friday afternoon.

    M116A2 Expedition Trailer Build

    Since everyone is fond of the "pics or it didn't happen," here's the xray of my knee.

    M116A2 Expedition Trailer Build

    Well I wasn't going to start this thread until I was a little farther along but I'm sitting in the parking lot of my Ortho, after breaking my kneecap, waiting for a ride so figured "why not?" I'm starting with a MEP002A generator trailer and want to build something like a Turtleback Trailer or...

    Big Bend NP Get Together?

    Guess I should have made those loan payments on time. Here's how the x-ray looks. Fortunately doesn't sound like surgery is needed.

    Big Bend NP Get Together?

    Well broke my right knee cap today (knee is currently about the same size as my thigh) so good thing this isn't for a few months now.

    What should I do...and what are my options legally.

    I'm in TX and I know several people (including a couple of members here) who simply took the SF97 to the tax office and walked out titled and registered for on road use. And yes they were GP vehicles with the same paperwork everyone else gets. Of course they took a gamble with how things would...

    Big Bend NP Get Together?

    Bump to remind folks in case you'd like to attend this year. I just found a National Geographic topo map of Big Bend that shows ALL the Primitive Roads. It appears much more detailed the small park maps that you can get at the Park. I think we can easily find 7 different Primitive Camp sites...

    FMTV - Building the Bed crane

    How about a dual beam hoist (one in the hole on one side of the bed and one on the other) using a couple of tackle blocks? It would spread the weight of the engine out better and really boost the lifting capacity of a single cable. Have it bolted together at the lift point so when done you can...

    What should I do...and what are my options legally.

    In all likelihood someone saw M998 and just thought "oh 1998" and went from there. In the end you have very little recourse. Keep it or sell it but you're pretty much stuck with the '98 label. How much are you willing to spend to change something that, in the end, just doesn't really matter?

    Amy Gets Her Trailer After A Years Wait!

    Congrats! I just sold my M1082 last week. Plans changed and I think building a expo trailer out of my M116 will get a lot more use and I don't need a Class A license to tow it.

    Brutus our M1079 all snowed in

    Block heater might not get the stuff on top but a small campfire under the front end might :) No don't do that or you'll never get to Big Bend.

    I think I want one of these FMTV

    No rules against mentioning auction sites just don't post any information regarding current or future auctions. GovPlanet is the main government auction site and then eBay often has items as well. With both of those you're taking a risk on condition and running ability. I would recommend...
