TMAMERICA, there is lots of hills to back up to to unload. Worst comes to worst, we can crane it out with the M108.

I might be meeting up with a friend at Haspin who is returning from a family trip to Oklahoma City. He is interested in wheeling a little, but also expressed interest in putting his Geo in the rear end of the deuce for the ride back to Virginia. Those hills there will help in loading, not to mention if anyone has a jeep ramp for the deuce tailgate.

I'll have my jeep ramps there. Maybe jeep, depends on if everything else gets done. 12ft, for loading jeep in the deuce, Stan uses them every year for his jeep also.

TM I might have a axle for you. I am sure the brakes will have to be redone but other then that it should be fine. Let me know in the next couple of days so I can cut it out.

I swear, one day I'm gonna make leather jackets up for the Haspin Acres Mowercycle Gang.

Change of plans - the deuce and the M37 will be in attendance. 2007 - no MV with me. 2010 - two MVs. In a few years, I'll have a military museum towed behind a M123 tractor the way things are going.

Just wanted to bring this back to the top! As of midnight, I have a week to get ready. I hope this will inspire some of you that are on the fence to GO!

I know Dork, I remember for when you originally posted it here. I thought it was funny most people didn't like the Apollo440.

Westy needs to learn how to spell - everyone on YouTube is gonna think were all a bunch of inbred junior high dropouts. THNAK you for making the video about HASPEN. :)

The only thing I have to do for Haspin is put NDTs on the front of the m109, and replace the airpack on the xm818. (anyone have one they can get me in a week?)
