Great to see you here! Glad that you could make the rally in Virginia. Looking forward to seeing you at some events here in NC before we see you again up in VA. :)

My thoughts on bed wood for the M37 (and the M101) can be found at: Bed Wood Included are the dimensions for all the pieces... :)

I really want to thank everyone who came out for the event. I had a great time, and hope that everyone did as well. I didn't take many photos, so hopefully, some other folks did and will post them or email them to me (some folks aren't on the forum here). I'll post mine tonight when I...

My comments about vehicle registration, license class, and insurance, for vehicle domiciled in North Carolina are (should be) in the thread that Chuck referenced in his earlier post. In a nutshel: North Carolina has NON-CDL Class A, B, and C operator's permits (licenses). If you are not...

It would help me keep track of who is comming/arrival ETA if you could fill it out and email it to me...but if not, I can have you fill out one when you arrive... :)

I'm late to the party... :) but I have one like Will's (strike with hammer) that I got from McMaster-Carr and have used it for years... Works great and wasn't very expensive. Used it on cables for everything from a buddy's MGBGT to a CAT 977K (and, of course, a high number of the MV's that...

Plenty of room to store stuff for a while... I need to pull up the link for the tractor pull and post it. It'd be fun to put the XM813 in. Don't forget that we have plenty of room in case anyone wants to bring stuff for sale/trade.

A couple more things to add... :) Right now, we have about five ladies comming, so if your spouse is concerned that they will be the only one, they wont be... In addition to all the stuff we have at the Lodge (pool, hiking trails, horseback riding, etc.), there are a bunch of antique...

I don't know of any stock MV that would have a ground clearance issue... I've been using a CUCV (Chevy pickup) for trail maintence so far. Got a couple of spots that I haven't taken it yet, but ground clearance wasn't an issue... Do you have a specific vehicle that you are thinking about...

Sorry to hear this. Good to hear that your Dad is doing better though. Get him healed up and put next year's trailrides/rally on the calendar. :) We'll be gathering next year at the same place, same weekend (Labor Day), we'll just have more trails and stuff to do... :) Take care.

Welcome! I haven't had to purchase a replacement wire rope for my XM813 yet, but I did replace the (smaller) ones on my M37 and XM708 a few years back. Best deal for me at the time was to purchase a spool from McMaster Carr and have it shipped to me. Agri-Supply carries wire rope. Your local...

Tow my MKT85 behind my XM813 all the time. Heck, I took it from Raleigh, NC, to Haspin, IN, just last month without any problem. Pointed down a bit on the way out (pintle on the five ton is lower than on a duece), was straight and level on the trip back (finally got around to flipping the...

Shame that I am running up to the farm this weekend... otherwise, I'd go next weekend, do some work on the trails, join you folks for lunch, and head back for some more work... :) May still try to do this, just depends on how things work out this week at the farm, and next week at work...

Hmmm, I always wonder a bit about adds where the photos include those taken from on-line sources... Not saying the add isn't on the up and up, but I would want to take a good gander at it in person before I got excited... That said, since he says that he is not planning on selling it with a...

Welcome to the site. Good to see another person with a truck not that far away from me... :) Since you been mentioning off-roading, we're having a trailride/rally this Labor Day weekend at the other end of the VA mountains from you place (in Syria, VA). Info on that is located at...

The mailman was pretty fast this time... :) Got the form and the check sitting on the desk right now. Your's was the first form to arrive. Looking forward to seeing you, and the rest of the gang, in about a month... I'll be at the farm this weekend doing some trail maintenance...

I'm not in New England... but, I do have a M37 for sale that has a really nice body, runs, needs brakes, a new wiring harness, and seat cushions. Comes with a factory hard top (oval window CCKW style that has had the round window cut out and replaced by a big rectangular one by the previous...

The info page for the rally is located at: http://www.garbee.net/~cabell/gravesmountaintrailridesweb.html Included on the page is a link to allow for downloading a text version so that everyone can download and print a copy (for registration and/or reference). I still have to scan in some maps...

Great deal!!! You really did score... :) Make sure that you keep at least TWO of the fueling hoses. You can hook them up to each other and two is just the right length to get from the far burner to the fuel tank on a XM813 parked a few feet in front of the MKT... Sorry that I will...

I heard through the grapevine that he thinks that his MKT will make me jealous...BUT, mine has a beer powered peeler... :)
