    Denton NC MV & Surplus Show 14-16 April 2016

    I have my Technician license - I'm not really knowledgeable about it though, hardly even get on the air. I got certified last August. There was a guy there last year (or maybe the year before) that had a bunch of military radio equipment displayed. I talked to him for a little while - he was...

    Official 2016 NC Denton Farm Park BUY/SELL/TRADE Thread.......

    Yeah, we did - but she's doing nothing but sitting in the yard most of the time now. I guess the honeymoon is over - time for her to go to someone that will use her! I WAS wanting a CUCV to pull the Jeep with, but I just bought a 2008 F250 for that (I know - not as fun and not an HMV). I've...

    Official 2016 NC Denton Farm Park BUY/SELL/TRADE Thread.......

    Is he looking for original or bobbed? I am planning on putting mine (bobbed, dually) up for sale before then. He can check out the build from the start on my blog (address in my signature) if interested.

    He likes to set up on a level spot - the last 2 times he was there we set him up on the 2nd gravel road about the 4th spot on the left. It is a real level area there with water and electric.

    Does anyone remember what the camping rates are - primitive and camper. It seems like I paid $15/night last year without a camper. All it says on the website is that camping rates vary with each event.

    Actually, 3 and 4 wheelers are NOT allowed per camping rules: http://dentonfarmpark.com/camping-rules/ . There have been a few at previous events and I don't think anyone has been reprimanded about their use. I am not one to stir the pot, but this IS their establishment and I don't think anyone...

    Make sure they are going to have the water on and the water heaters in the bath houses working. That was a problem 2 years ago - busted water lines and Don and his wife got a water heater going on the first day.

    Denton NC MV & Surplus Show 14-16 April 2016

    There's never been a problem getting a spot where you want. They usually don't take reservations for a particular spot. This event is put on by Jim and Bob and in the past, you rarely even see any Farmpark employees unless there is a problem or the owner is riding around talking to you. You show...

    Denton NC MV & Surplus Show 14-16 April 2016

    Man, that's great! I've been wanting to get t shirts since the 2nd year! We'd love to have you there PB! And any other regulars from the GA rally as well. As stated previously, we are trying to grow this rally in order to keep it alive. A bunch of the locals are doing a great job stepping up...

    I second that - I have no problem paying my way. Pat is more than generous enough in providing the location and facilities for the event. No sense in him PAYING for it too. I say we need a total from Blake, divide it by the # of attendees, and round UP! Sorry Pat, I know we had this discussion...

    Come on up - it's not too far from Charlotte. If you bought a 998, you've already got it!

    Denton NC MV & Surplus Show 14-16 April 2016

    Welcome - the more the merrier! The Denton show is usually a pretty good time and with these local guys stepping up to add other fun things to the rally (ie: bbq convoy and also a trail ride added this year), it is getting better every year! Last year during the last campfire, we talked about...

    As long as she's running like a champ now. The lining can wait! Mine runs ok, but if you run her on the road for an hour she starts acting up. The cam needs replacing and new exhaust valve guides. I need to get my spare engine rebuilt and a few other things before the rally to make sure she...

    Oh, I will. If it's not sold, maybe I can talk my brother into driving it.

    Denton NC MV & Surplus Show 14-16 April 2016

    You know I'll be there! Don't know what day bc this will be during my working week - have to take vacation. I'll be towing the m38a1 and m100 there and driving it in the convoy and trail ride. MIGHT be able to get my wife and daughter to come Friday and Saturday. Planning on selling deuce before...

    I did the conversion last year. I have the writeup and pics on my blog (address in my sig).

    Denton NC mv show 2015

    If they stick with the norm (except for last year), I'm thinking it will be on the second weekend (April 8-10). Sounds like tacticalmike can be the contact with Jim? I'll try to help promote again this year, but for some reason my free time is dwindling away - I have barely even been checking on...

    Nothing on their calendar yet Mike (big surprise - it would probably be the wrong date if it was, lol). Maybe Pat or Rich will be dropping by Jim Henry's shop sometime soon and get the low down from him? I still have to rebuild the engine on my 'a1 and finish the trailer. Working on my new (to...

    Another one joins ranks of m38a1 ownership

    How the he** do you bend a cross member like that? The hat channels have oak in them. One they start getting water logged it's all over - rust from the inside out. Good thing is that you CAN buy good, US made repros.
