    Bob's new Mog

    Mogs are not made for mud, especially the U1300L. They weigh in at 12,000 lbs and if there is mud, they will sink. Mogs are much better suited for rock crawling and off camber stuff. They are almost unstoppable.

    GL at Aberdeen

    It was a pleasure to see the GL people at Aberdeen. They were very friendly and had a small tent set up with a very warm propane heater. It was good to meet Robyn, the SS / GL representative. She always had a smile and was eager to greet you.

    Towing a M1009 w/ a car dolly

    A little off topic but I saw a newer Jeep Grand Cherokee towing a Ford Econoline 350 school bus on a tow dolly. Some people really aren't too bright. That dually bus probably weighed twice as much as the Cherokee.

    Eye Candy

    Those DAF trucks are really cool. I like the center axle which allows you to never worry about high centering.

    Rolling Gillespie paint?

    I've rolled Aervoe and you couldn't even tell where the roller marks were. Because the paint is flat, you shouldn't have any problem with blending the edges. I painted an enclosed trailer and it looked great...until the Aervoe faded and turned to gray in two years.

    What is this trailer?

    Overpriced CUCV's in Northeast?

    Finding a rust free CUCV is not easy. Remember, this body style is prone to rust...no matter where you keep it. I've got my M1009 for sale and will be bringing it from Nevada to the east coast within a month. PM me if interested.

    M1007 Suburban CUCV Conversion

    If any of you get a chance to meet Rick and his M1007, make sure you do so. The work he did on this truck is superb and he is one helluva great guy. Thanks for posting the pics Rick!

    Austin Champ Pickup

    I saw some pics of the M35A3. It's not that ugly. I kind of like the grill, clean and sleek. The headlight buckets are weird though.

    "My wife said if I brought home another military vehicle, it better have a bed in it because that is where I will be sleeping. Does a dropside count as a bed?"
