Gun...you need an MV that can go off road...that way you can really enjoy it. Not saying they can't be enjoyed by lookin' at them, but driving them off the beaten path is where it's at...at a rally

D'man,
I'm talking with a guy down in Lakeland that sells Poly water tanks if I can work out the funds I should be able to get a 500-750 gal water tank to put in the back of a M105 trailer. He says they are approved for drinking water so that should cover alot drinking water. I'm also checking into a portable shower set up too, so it won't be so primitive.. Vinny

DM, Yes we are planning to be there, and very much looking forward to it. I guess the word got around about how much fun we had last year. Looks like quyite a turnout for this year! Let me know what I can help with

 

[Recovry4x4]

Mike, I can probably score another 275 gallon tote from the FD. They had foam in them so I doubt that I'd drink out of it but the water would be good for showering and dishes and the like.

Why not add a pressure washer too, after a mud bath, the trucks may need a cleaning before hitting the road.....

 

[Recovry4x4]

Bjorn, that's proably a good idea. Now if I could just find a pressure washer! Now I know you've been a little sidetracked reverse engineering the 757 but are you ever going to fix the deuce so you can come out and play?

 

[Panzer_peter]

This sounds like tons of fun wish i was a bit closer

"A little sidetracked" may be the understatement of the day.

At the moment, it's a toss-up between the 8x8 and the 6x6 for a trip South next year.

 

[Recovry4x4]

I'd bet the deciding factor will be "Which one has the k-boom on it"

 

[cranetruck]

I'm collecting WVO in any case....takes about 200 gallons for a round trip.

Next year? Hummm Feb 2008!!!

 

[sak00]

Already getting excited, don't know if I can wait that long!

 

[devilman96]

Well... I will be up Oct 26-28th and about every 3-4 weeks there after working on the property for the event if anyone is bored!!!

I might be able to come up there on some weekend and help out. Also I checked your website, Im looking for the hood hold down hooks on the side and also on top of the hood. Do you have any and how much?

 

[devilman96]

I have them avaliable to me but I refuse to sell them due to the quality of them.

I am looking for a source for the stainless jeep hooks but have not found a supplier to date that agrees with me price wise.

I suggest buying a set of them for a jeep in SS and painting them, any mil spec or NOS type will need to be painted to match your truck anyways.

if that's not suitable PM Ace and see if he has any or I recommend white owl as they are usually the better bet price wise.

Looks like I will have to set up the pig traps, and bate the criters in. No sale on the land they paid their taxes last week.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Preparing for the invasion I see. Anyone for wild boar?

 

[devilman96]

Just a bump for the thread... I was up working on the property last weekend and will be back up in 2 weeks to do much of the same things again... Lots of mowing, clearing, and eventually some back hoe'ing (we WILL see some very stuck Pinz and Mog owners this year).

I believe we have also worked out a few miles worth of trail ride... More to come on that in the next few weeks.

I have been asked about advanced payment by several people and have set up tickets for the event in the store which can be purchased here… http://odiron.com/store/index.php?cPath=41&osCsid=84c3a79af0f1efd6c1511ce79989e2cf

Guess I will have to plan on 2009 since I don't get out of Korea till mid June 2008 at the earliest. I know you all will have a great time and I hope you take a post lots of pictures of this event.
