My truck sure could use a new set of batteries!

Whoops. This weekend, December...

If anyone needs anything moved - I'd love to cover some of my costs on this trip. Can potentially go a little further north or south if it'll help work things out. Can also potentially haul things the other direction DEC 19 - but will be more limited on size and space for the return trip...

I sent a few emails out and filled out that form. Just had my iltis up near the QC border a few weeks ago, and was planning another road trip in it this fall. Sure want to know why we aren't going after bombardier if they sold our government unsafe vehicles! Would also like to know if this...

Yeah, the rust on mine is only in specific areas, limited to only the body, frame, and things attached to those items. :cry: I took it off roading this weekend, it's amazing in the dirt but could use some more power. Climbs like a goat.

Jeez Dave, you're making me jealous! I miss ya lots. So many adventures I'm missing out on. I probably coulda got my truck stuck too. Great picture of the ole van from back in the winter, glad to see it's still alive.

Did these ever get uploaded somewhere? I've been searching all about but this is the only thread about the manuals that I can dig up.
