Nice job!

Looks like he's going to have to invest in a few new tires in the near future. A couple of those old treads are junk.

I see you painted the gas cap red for MOGAS. NICE!
Looks like the middle Ga. land locked Navy will be able to get to the ocean soon. :) I think their navy consists of a few Jon boats with trolling motors and some inflated spare inner tubes. :shrugs:

Darn nice work!

As you can tell I did not mount the pintle - the size is different and I did not want to be hacking in anything different than what should be on it.

We will find out. I was too busy to go with Adam to recover the M37, so I won't see it until today. I will try my best to keep him out of trouble(good luck to me).

John - you'll be a little late keeping Ferro out of trouble with it !!!!!

Above in the pics upon pickup - ask Ferro how that HUGE caved in right rear of his truck happened ???????? It did not get done without a newly painted other vehicle involved ????

With them fellas roaming around up there in SC - by now you would have thought someone would have posted up some pics from the homesite !!!!!!! what a bunch o slackers.

Zout, we've all been at the VA Rally. Just got home. I will tell you this. The M-37+NDT's and a half full fuel tank had 'opportunities' with a 60 degree slope covered in Kudzu and wet leaves - no paint was damaged in the process, but Adam's mother won't be riding with him again on the trails. EMD will post a video as soon as it can be edited.

Yes, but the Blue Trail can be driven by a regular pick-up truck (at low speeds) and she was on the upslope side on it, not the down-slope side where 'mount-son-of-a-biscuit' dropped off just about as fast on the trail as it did on the side - but the trail had fewer standing trees on it. I hope EMD (John Parker) will show more than 5 or 10 seconds of me walking/sliding down the trail as he was backing his truck down to the turn-around that was 'only 100 yards behind him'. Adam said it was more like a quarter of a mile. On a flat map it was probably 200 yards, but on that slope it might have been a quarter of a mile, and felt longer when you have to drive it backwards. I need to go edit pictures so I can post some of them.

And Ferro did get stuck, and pulled out, just to make it an "OFFICIAL" SS rally. I was very pleased that I didn't have to touch a wrench the whole weekend. Pictures and video will follow, just as soon as I get unpacked, and back into the grind.

LOL! That last pic looked like where I grew up in east TN! I had to do a double take!
Looks like ya'll had a wonderful time and it looks like the M37's had a good time too!
