    PA - Spring 2014 Rausch Creek Steel Soldiers Rally

    I hope everyone had fun. Other than Chris' dent in his drivers door and bedside, I did not see any damage. It is fun seeing what the vehicles are capable of and watching people enjoy making it over obstacles. It is also fun running into people on the trail and seeing their reactions to the...

    We will miss you and your truck. It is a sight to see a shipping container on wheels lumbering down the trail.

    PA - Spring 2014 Rausch Creek Steel Soldiers Rally

    If joe is not awake at the appropriate time, we can fire up his truck and take him for a ride. There is nothing like getting bounced out of bed, to wake a person up.

    PA - Spring 2014 Rausch Creek Steel Soldiers Rally

    Cooking out over a fire is good, or on a grill, kids love that. There is fast food five minutes down the road from the park. There are decent restaurants within 10-15 minutes. There are also several hotels 2 exits down Rt 81 at the Pine Grove exit, including a Hampton and cheap motel. A few...

    PA - Spring 2014 Rausch Creek Steel Soldiers Rally

    There are always a bunch of us chomping at the bit and then guys who are slow to get rolling in the mornings. Let's aim for 9am. We need to get everyone paid and lined up. It looks like we have a good amount of vehicles with a mix of deuces and five tons as well as CUCVs and civilian...

    PA - Spring 2014 Rausch Creek Steel Soldiers Rally

    Firewood is good. Nails are not good and pallets would need to get broken down to fit in the fire ring. I will bring some fire wood along, it looks like a few others are bringing wood as well. A chainsaw would be good, I need to clean the carb on mine. I lead last trip and had to cut a few...

    My Tatra T815 VT 8x8

    That truck looks to be in very nice condition. I enjoy the European trials they run with Tatras and the like.

    I plan on bringing my 7 year old son. He was at the last event and had a good time. Last time in the 931A1. This time in my Mog. I have had him at RC in Jeeps a bunch.

    m105 overload springs as add-a-leafs?

    I believe that Black Rock Fabrication http://www.blackrockfab.com located in Phoenixville PA has lift kits, four links and other suspension parts. I get your thought about keeping it as low as possible. In the rear, you can mount the bed as high as you need to keep the tires out of the bed...

    Question about air assist power steering kits for m35... shelf life ???

    I have air assist on one of my deuces. I like it a lot better than stock. Night and day difference. Mine came installed on the truck when I bought the truck. The prior owner dented the large cylinder and had to buy a replacement. The cylinder sits right behind the axle. He was rock...

    The more the merrier. klawrence, I checked out your truck at John's gathering. Nice job. I think it looks good with a single rear axle, I'll be interested to hear how much better you like your new air bag suspension and single axle.

    Buying an Original Unimog 404

    I think it looks pretty good. I would like to think it is worth $10,000, but ultimately that is for the buyer and seller to determine. From that auction, it was worth $7200 to a potential buyer and more than that to the seller. I am taking mine to our rally at Rausch Creek at the end of the...

    LT. Dan M35a2 Modification Thread

    With your background with tires, you know that those tires do not belong on a 7" split rim. I am not trying to give you a hard time, rather just friendly advice to do it right. I know you had and sold a JK. I have had 7 wranglers, a total of 14 jeeps and more than two dozen other 4x4 and...

    LT. Dan M35a2 Modification Thread

    Putting a 14.00R20 on a 7" split rim is a terrible idea, it poses a real safety hazard. The 14.00R20 requires a 10" rim. See http://www.militarytires.com for the specs. My advice is if you are going to run bigger tires, put them on 10" beadlock rims and be sure they have the proper...

    Chad, we will miss you and Todd. I want to make it down to the show on Friday, talk to you about your OT-90, then camp out at RC Friday night and ride Saturday.

    Fmtv vs unimog

    I am 6'6", I don't fit well in my 404 Mog, M35s or 818, but I think the 939 trucks are comfortable in the cab. There is certainly enough leg room. For the money, they are hard to beat, especially if you intend to use it. I will buy a FMTV sometime, and I expect it will be a lot cheaper than...

    PA - Spring 2014 Rausch Creek Steel Soldiers Rally

    I would love to see an M985 getting dirty. One of your other trucks would work better on the wooded trails at RC.
