I want to post a big [thumbzup] to Kassim and atankersdad, thanks for the rides, and Kassim: whether you restore that rolling environmental disaster area for the next time, or buy a new MV to be a little more friendly on the trails, it's always a pleasure seeing ya at RC! :driver:

Yeah, thank the Lord the warmer weather is here. I can't wrench in the cold, busted knuckles sucks when it's freezing. Once the income issue is done, I'm back on the gun truck like flies on shyt.

Wow, that looks pretty cool. Didn't even know the 939 series had air conditioning upgrades, learn something new every day.

Awesome looking work. I can't imagine the work that has to go into modding a gooseneck like that to your specs and still be safe, that must take expert welding skills. [thumbzup]

Could be worse.

I'd buy that for a dollar!

Methinks it's the college TV station for Ohio State University. Most times it just has beer commercials on it, you know like most college TV stations. But sometimes there's a neat show on, once in a while.

A couple more 939-series trucks in private hands! Excellent save, glad to hear of you new purchase and the safe ride home...

The pintle is missing, but that might have been removed a long time ago. I'm surprised the two batteries aren't gone, what with the price of scrap these days, I assume they took the radiator to scrap as well. It's obvious that you'll need to invest in new glass too. :)

If you were dish out and carrying the max load for a while, I'm sure you'd have bearing problems, or at least you'd have to replace them sooner. But under normal conditions, you're good.

Definitely needs a camo paint job, a brushguard and a set of HMMWV tires to complete the package! Good save....

Was there a reason that there were two grooves? Are there supposed to be two belts, one for engine operation and one for something else? If not, I'm guessing the reason for two belt grooves, one slightly longer than the other in effective diameter, maybe if you have a drive belt too...

You could always ride along with another rally-goer. I'm sure there is a passenger seat that another person wouldn't mind loaning to your a$$.

Find who ran the facility, what department of the state, etc., and find the office that takes care of their motor pool. Talk to the person in charge, explain what you'd like to do, perhaps it may be a matter of "you can have it if you want it". If so, GET THAT IN WRITING from someone of...

Tentatively, I will be going, arriving Wed. night and departing Sunday morning. I will need food for the entire time. Just me, no other passengers. Not sure if I will be in a MV or if I will drive the civvy vehicle there and ride with someone else. My back got really messed up in past years...

Same here - it's on the plan sheet for project to get done this year. I always hate it when I have to beg a neighbor to borrow a tractor to load something in the back end of the deuce prior to a show. Come to think of it, I miss having a M332 trailer that was low to the ground and easy to load...

Still kicking myself over the $800 mule I passed up 10 years back. I was stupid then, too. Nice save! Won't take much to get that looking nice....

I've never seen a stencil put on the front bumper of the NSN of the vehicle, that's pretty interesting. Nice looking truck, you have a good starting point...

Every time I go to Colemans Surplus, TNJ Murray's, or some other yard I feel like one of the American Pickers crew. Picking through junk to find the parts I need, that are like gold to me. I'm sure a few others here feel the same way.

I think next time, if we can get enough people with smaller vehicles, maybe it would work to have two different groups go out - one with the big trucks and they hit only the green trails, and the smaller vehicles can hit the blue trails if they feel up to it.
