I'm getting ready to put G177s on my deuce bobber (dual rears). This is the information I needed to hear. Hey Dipstick, is your deuce bobber sitting on G177s? Is your bed 8' or 9'? We are doing ours with the stock bed shortened to 9' - do you have any pics you can share?
They would be comparable to atvs, I would think - and there were quite a few of them on the trails the other year. The only problem is that you would have to haul it to the trail head, which is about 10-15 miles away.
Do ya'll think there is any need for a "For sale/trade/wanted" thread for this show/rally? I'm sure there will be more people talking about coming as the show gets closer, but right now the sale thread might just get lost on the forum. What do you think?
Other than the flyer, no. Brother and I are going to Jim Henry's on Thursday to get a few parts if the weather is ok by then - I'll see if he can tell me anything else. Did Cabel say he was coming on the other thread?
Hey 3d,
The 'a1 runs 7.00x16 NDCC, 5 lug wheels - I don't know what the m37 bolt pattern is, but 9.00x16s would look bad azz on the 'a1 if you had a little lift on it! Now you have me thinking. I wonder if anyone has mounted 9x16s on 'a1 rims or if they would even work?
Just found this thread. Man, what a deal! I have my 'a1 parts jeep up for sale on my blog for $1000obo ( http://wilfreeman.wordpress.com ), and it is a good bit rougher and less complete (body wise) than yours is! I have some parts I might part with for a decent price if you can't use the cj...
Oh yeah, the Jeep will definately be there - maybe the deuce if we finish it. The trails that I have seen are for smaller vehicles like pickup trucks and Jeep size.
Bring it on! I'd like to take the Jeep out one time if I had a trail guide. I don't want to go on anything difficult - to keep from breaking the 60 year old girl!
My brother and I are hopefully going to get finished bobbing our deuce and get it presentable by then too. If not, I will just have my Jeep there again. You live in Charlotte man, make sure the brakes work and it runs ok and bring it on to the rally!
the first year there were over 100 trucks and trailers - I don't know if anyone even kept track last year, but there were significantly less, probably caused from not getting promoted. There were a lot of visitors on Saturday - I hate I had to leave, but while I was there I was able to give a...
Correct. It is called Military Vehicle and Collector Show. Denton Farmpark posted a flyer on their Facebook page. I will post it here when I get home from work tomorrow. It is about 50/50 - Steel Soldiers to others.
Last year I showed up on Thursday and left Saturday at lunch b/c I had a...
You were just in time with this thread! I will be doing mine in the next few weeks, so I've been reading ALOT! Seems pretty straight forward, just like my Jeep - just ALOT bigger parts and the boot instead of felt seals. Thanks for the write-up!
