Hi lw50mg, Welcome to the site! Awesome 5ton. If your 813 is mission ready, then by all means bring it! We convoy to & from this event so that no one feels uncomfortable driving long distances. I am 230 miles from RC so I do a bit of operating. Our main east/west convoy route is I-78...

Hey Fred, Come on Down! If you don't have an MV you can ride with someone or if you have a 4x4 that you'd like to wheel you can do that too. Stock vehicles will have no problem. Thank you everyone for your interest in this event. We're only a few weeks away now so I hope everyone's...

Hi AN/ARC186, That overhead console is great for a hardtop! Looks great! And for a Soft top Bjorn's is really slick; easily removed and stored if taking the top down. Great Ideas. I've never seen the heater controls mounted like that...nice

Hi XJcowboy, We would've had it the week before but the parking & caming area was so crawded we decided to move it a week later. Hope you can make it the following week. There is always someone with an empty seat if you've never ridden in an MV before.

Hey, I was thinking the same thing.....Its hard to do anything with the current layout....Unless your in the launch/marina biz which I ain't... I'm sure whatever happens it'll be fun...

Haha..... I forgot about Kelly's Heroes...That was an M4 or M5 High speed tractor towing that big Fruehaf tank trailer trailer w/dolly converter. Thanks for the comments and advice about part sources. The PBR thing is just something I've been tossing around. I've been slowly gathering...

The M923. We're still missing two crucial parts that are holding up the works. Its gettin' there..... :-P

Thank you for the different ideas.....It wouldn't mind driving farther. That would be a neat to convoy to dinner one night. I guess as long as they have enough parking and its not just a fast food joint.

Hi, Boat trailers don't appear out of thin air. Ala kazam!!! Poof! A boat trailer just when I need it! :-P This recovery did not take place at a boatyard or marina nor could I even afford to purchase one. You make do with what you have. Answering a question with a question: Let's say I...

Hi, Thanks for taking the pics. Its good to see a newguy getting into the thick of things! To answer your questions about transmission compatability, Its a Spicer 3053A. No other auto/truck manufacturer used this tranny so you won't find it that often in the junkyard unless its MV oriented...

Whups!

I've updated attendee list on the initial post. Thanks for reminding me. Looks like a good showing so far but things change as you know.

Hi, Quarkz, I looked at em' but forgot the make, size is 14" x 24". That DM800 was sick. Yeah Gimpy there were about six twin steer wreckers, boom trucks, rotaters, etc. there. The twin steer rotater/wreckers approach 90,000lb. operating weight. I can't tell you why people like to paint...

Have you been to that Log Cabin restaurant around the corner?

One Month To Go!!!

Driving The Deuce Driving through or in the City is nothing......Its the tolls and potholes that'll kill ya! :-P Just crossing the Verrazano is $36 with 10 wheels touching the ground. I've made five trips so far this year to the mainland with atleast two more to go driving the Deuce...

Hi, Oops forgot weights....... -Trailer - 6,000lbs. -Boat - 10,500lbs. -Steel Cradle - I'm guessing only about 1,250lbs. -Total towed weight approx. 17,750lbs. -Stuff in the bed - about 3,000lbs. Just as Lex stated, It handled it very well with no surprises. The trailer has 12.25" x 4"...

What do you guys think? GoHot got it right....lots of work... This is probably the closest thing I'll get to having a PBR or a PT boat. I along with my friends were discussing the idea of turning this into a Vietnam PBR clone due to the similar size and hull shape. Yes there are significant...

More Pics Hi, Thanks for the kind words. I'm sure it will be lots of fun. Thank you DatsunMan....Your advice and real-life experience is well received. I'm sure I'll have many engine questions for you in the future. I need to get a nice big tarp to cover it as well as some descicant...
