Ok so there is a VERY nice restorable truck..you posted with no more info..are you going to restore it? (own it?)..what?....

Agree with this. Ours needs the modification, as it is fitted with a 5 ltr perkins diesel, is slow and very noisy.

Indeed, to keep company with some handbrakes easily knocked off exiting trucks..no locking diffs..wiz kid (un-hardy electronics)..and winch and roll has always been a very usefull feature.

Well done on the seccess of the trip day. And hopefully you will soon rectify('scuse the pun!) the charging problem.

Snap!..Also from London..U.K...Very welcome to this site the hobby, vehicles events and friendships to come. That's a Nice group of trucks you allready have in your possesion. Those trailers look usefull and fully functional as well.

Pleasant to read of helpful staff on those sites. Glad you had a good experience there, appreciation (also) goes a long way in assisting everyone involved in the hobby.

Yes, pretty good indeed. Looks good, and neat as well as completly functional again.

Just transfer the pictures to your computer, and then up onto this site. Easy.

Try to figure out how to post the pictures.that would be very interesting to see..The Russian trailers and bodies just look so great. Make great campers to convert.

ditto, One reason it is handy to keep a box of (various) brake and grease nipples handy.

How about one of those as a camper!.

How original is the jeep? Post some more pictures (as it) Looks like youv'e purchased a nice "project"?. How much wiring is missing? (enough to warrant a re-wire...perhaps).
