Ferro, I know that I can stuff the M274A5 (mule) with the wide tires, fenders, and electric start (and 4ws conversion) into the XM813 along with the food and other gear, but if you can fab up that MKTST for us to use, I could manage to stuff the M38 in... That way, we could have a little run...

I met up with Ferro at the junction of Interstates 74 and 77 near Mt. Airy, NC. We then rode up I-77 to Beckley, WV, where we met up with Maddawg... Maddawg drove down I-81 from his place and cut over on I-64... Thought about stopping by on the return trip when we passed the Hillsville...

Bjorn, I have a tire for you from Joe Trapp, just need to figure out when I can swing by your place to deliver it... Also, we are getting things ready for that 8x8 at the farm... Can't wait to see it running down the trials. :) Next year, you could just fall into the convoy to Haspin...

It's the rated cargo capacity off road... Generally speaking, the entire size is referred to by the capacity of the truck although the actual capacities of the cargo, dumps, shop vans, wreckers, etc. may vary a tad bit...

Welcome aboard! I have spent money in the shop you work in... :) Also within riding distance of you will be the VA trailrides/rally on Labor Day Weekend (Sept 3-8, 2009 in Syria, VA (thread is on here under the Steelsoldiers Rally section). Plenty of guys out your way with grean iron to talk...

Hey Nick: Send me (by PM), your shipping address so that I can send you my rusted out mule battery box for a pattern... I almost tripped over it the other day and thought of you... :) Great looking new project...

Mike, Ferro and I were starting with the LONG laundry list of stuff that we thought would be nice, and plan to whittle it down to size... :) We've also talked about mounting everything on my spare M1016 tag trailer... It looks like all three of us will be at the VA trailrides/rally, so we...

I had a truck recently in the yard (M109) that had velcro alongside the bed and fenders located (and sized) just right for placing the rectangular red/white reflectors specified by the FMVCSA for commercial trucks these days... I figured that somebody wanted to make the rig more visible when...

Mike, Ferro and I got to talking (a lot) while cooking at Haspin... He has an ice machine, and a 275gal tote for water. Add in some freezers, fridges, water heater, deep sinks, dry goods racks, etc... You know, everything that we wanted (including the sink) to go alongside the MKT when...

Got home at 10:45PM.... Smooth journey home for me (thanks to Maddawg308 and Ferroequinologist for convoying with me) except that I lost the taillights on both the truck and the MKT about thirty miles from home... Good thing that the convoy lights were on, nobody came near me on the...

I don't have a bobbed duece so I can't really make the comparison that is asked however I have several M37's and M35's and have looked at (and driven) several bob jobs that friends have... I really like the fact that my M37's can get into a standard size parking space and that the bed is low...

If you mean Lovettsville, Virginia (in Loudoun County), you might try to catch Maddawg308 before he heads out for the Haspin rally... Maybee somebody could then haul it up your way... Good luck.

I like those Firestones. Drove a truck (M109) that had them mounted on it recently. They look like a copy of the Michelin XZL tread pattern but with a harder rubber compound (or at least it seemed like a harder compound based on the ride charactaristics). FWIW: I've been getting my...

Nice ride! I really like M37's... Instead of typing a lot of stuff into this thread, I'll just sugest that you hop over to my website and do a looking poking around... I've got plenty of info on tires, markings, parts cross reference, spark plugs, wipers, etc... And I'm always looking for...

I'm pulling out after work tonight (actually, I'm going to slide out a little early and do the last minute food pickup...) so that I can meet up with Ferro... Spent part of last night tightening the "newish" belts on the XM813 that finally got stretched on the trip up to Aberdeen. Hope that...

Sorry for the delay in getting back to everyone on costs... I lost internet here for the last couple of days (dang storm droped a tree on the lines running to the house... Anyway, Cranking out the numbers shows that I can do this for $30 each for the Wed-Sunday menu that I posted earlier. I...

Since I haven't seen any major complaints about the menu items, I'm proceding on the assumption that everone is ok with that aspect of things... :) I'm going to swing by my local food distributor's place tonight and will price out the items in the quantities that I'd need to feed everyone that...

I'm sticking this in it's own thread right now just so that it doesn't get mired in all the other info about the rally... I'm still planning on cooking... We had talked about having everyone Paypal me funds before the event so that I would have cash to go shopping, but since Paypal charges a...

I'm alive... :) Inbox at work was overfilled so much that my entire desk was covered with junk when I got in yesterday... just now getting some time to do something "productive"... I'll give both Adam and Mike a call tonight about the route and times, but here is what I am thinking: Adam...

I'll add my "intermediate" after action report... :) I'm sitting at my folk's farm (site of the Labor Day trailrides and rally in Virginia) listening to the rain on the tin roof... Getting ready for the annual Bluegrass Festival that starts on ?Thursday (although we already have folks...
