I have a 1078 not a 1083 but you're more than welcome to drop by and take it for a spin. I'm about 20 miles north of San Antonio off Hwy 281.

Both are extremely comfortable to drive although I believe the FMTVs put out more heat to the interior since you're sitting directly over the engine. The FMTVs have better maneuverability but steering and braking are easy in both. Visibility isn't really an issue since you'll have a box on the...

The 923 actually has a 10 ton on road capacity so is a bit more robust. The parts for both mechanically are generally available commercially. Body parts are more difficult to find for the FMTV but should become easier to find as more are released. I'm not familiar with the CAT 3126 so not sure...

Having had a M923A2 and currently having a M1078 I have to say I enjoy both of them. I do like the M1078 simply because it's a 2 axle vs 3 and that you're looking at a 3 axle FMTV. I think the only thing more complicated between the 2 would be the electronics. If you're good with a...

One Land Cruiser and one Land Rover. We spotted them later and both had a triangular tent like popup on the camper. Both were from France.

Very nice bike. I just heard Mahindra bought the rights to the BSA name and is planning to start making them again.

I can get a 5 gallon bucket and some trash bags at Home Depot for a WHOLE lot less. I could even go all out and splurge for a toilet seat and it'd still be cheaper.

Amazing what you can do with a Dutch Oven and some charcoal.

The weekend before we were there some big motocross event was going on in Marathon and then next weekend, starting Friday, is the annual Teriligua Chili Cookoff. Those were the primary reasons we picked the date we did. Next year we could go a bit earlier and probably have just as good of...

Well I'm sitting at the carwash getting the wife's pickup cleaned from the trip so will post a little typing on my phone. The trip was awesome but too short. I'm definitely going to do it next year around the same time but for at least a week. When Andy and I got in Thursday night the Chisos...

I'll be posting a full write up tomorrow after I get home but this was a perfect time and we wound up in a better campground although next time might stick to back country camp spots where ther isn't anyone.

On the way home now with Mrs driving. Coverage is too spotty for a full After Action Report but I'll just say it was fun enough we might do a week next year. Here's one more pic until I do the full write up.

Mik sorry I couldn't help you out but figured by the time I got there your daughter probably would have graduated.

I had home fries and the wife had grits, but the Western/Southern thing depends on what part of TX you're in. From San Antonio to NM its definitely Western.

Mine had all 6. 4 were still tight and 2 were stripped and just spinning. We're just sitting in Alpine, TX having breakfast on our way back from Big Bend. I'll try and post more when I get home.

A taste.

Got a late start out this morning but finally made it into the park around 1900. When we went past the Panther Junction Ranger station it said Chisos Basin. Campground was full so we headed on into Terilingua for supper. When we're done with supper we're headed to Castolon Campground. Its a fair...

I also wanted to make sure my accessory plugs were not "hot" when things were off in case they caused a parasitic drain on the batteries. I tapped into the fuse for the lights so I only have power to the plugs when the lights are on.

If you're buying new parts make sure you get the new style. I don't have P/Ns but the way to check is the fan clutch has bolt studs coming out of it vs bolts going through the aluminum clamping part. I got my fan off eBay and it has a steel hub vs aluminum. If you're going through one of the...
