Convoy Safety / Pre Trip inspection
While digging through some "Convoy Safety" research I found some sites that I felt were worth sharing.
With current Posted highway speeds as high as 80mph I think it's worth reviewing what's been done in the past and adapting some new guidelines.

M211 Arthur Garcia
It wouldn't take much to convince me to come down and hold the dumb end of the tape measure. Woke up to this.
Using existing transfer case location?
Can we adapt shaft length?

MV Owners 'Code of Conduct'
I chose the 'Safety' forum because it is the limiting factor in the success of this hobby/dedication. The implications of a privately owned MV failure is not 'known' by all....it is learned.
Newcomers to the hobby need to start somewhere and if they had a...
Is there a written MV collectors "code of conduct" while in public?
Would an SS "code of conduct" be helpful to those who are upcoming MV operators?
While sitting in the M135 surrounded by heavy traffic and performing amazing, courteous defensive driver techniques I wondered of the...

Seaty, the crane will be handy, but now I must have one. Drop more pictures when you can. Certainly get some shots up on the "Unofficial g749 picture thread" our great Guru Gunfreak started.
We took a door panel to Endura and chip matched the color. I can dig up a 'formula' and some...

What happened to the kitten, puppy or ice skater we were planning to put on there. What about the hot girl in the photo or a polar bear or an igloo....you're up north right?:-D
Take your time making the decision, don't know about you but it's always nice to link a bit of history...
Thanks for coming down. That was a great day, got to meet your Mom.
If you're booking time, the last week of July to the 4th of August should be ripe
