PNW-2010-Second Annual Chehalis River Valley MV Convoy/Camp-Out

The nice part about having it done is that they will make it SQUARE as well as flat. That can effect torque ratings, sealing, etc. Not usually that big of a deal, but that is part of setting them up correctly on the machine to grind them.
If they are good looking, and you are just after a fresh surface, then your method will work ok.


As for the seats, well, I am not sure if anyone that sat in mine are ready for them yet. Maybe they will chime in or PM you if they are.

Guys, Kaiserjeeps is the one who made those NICE seats I have in my 5 ton! I know a few of you sat in them. Sure makes these longer drives a lot easier.

If nobody else makes or finds a set, I could make up some convoy signs on plywood. I just need the specifications, I know I have seen them online before but I just can't seem to find them right now. I could also make up a set of 12"x18" blue, green, and white/black flags if we want them.

heres a post about it http://www.steelsoldiers.com/conversations/13858-convoy-signs.html

I can work with that, I probably won't get around to making them if I have to for a while anyways. I'm too busy getting the truck out of mothballs and shined up for the summer right now. As of today I have buffed all the paintwork once, cut off the home made hardtop that a fire department added to it and done a little general cleanup, it has been a good day.

No jeeps here.However, does Aron have enough Port-o-Potties?Looks like good crowd for the gathering.I would be willing to sponsor another one to protect Arons septic system. Dave

Aarons got a nice big ditch we can use if needed.

Yea aaron you need any help with food or anything? i can buy packs of gatorade or something from my work.

I will probably be the only one that needs more space for maneuvers in your yard.

I do think we might need to plan the parking and 'driving lanes' with this many people showing up though!

 

[wsucougarx]

We definately need to plan on a couple CUCV's to help stop traffic when merging onto the highways during the convoy. Probably need one near point and on our 6

 

[Hammer]

I can just pull out with the trailer, I am pretty sure everyone will stop.......

Outstanding Ed!!

I would guess that he is one of the WSMVPC guys that did the Armed Forces Day Parade in Bremerton today. Is anybody here a member of WSMVPC? I tried to submit a message on their website and never got a response. I've been hearing rummors about other M37's and jeeps and deuces in Poulsbo and Silverdale but I haven't seen them myself or heard about who the owners are. One M37 was even spotted driving past my neighborhood, by my family, and it wasn't me. I wish I could find the owner and tell him about Steel Soldiers and our get together.

It could've been one of the PSMVCC members as today was Armed Forces Day at Ft Lewis. We display a number of our vehicles there every year.

Almost forgot that I already have a "CONVOY AHEAD" sign to bring as well.

After returning from Ohio, the reverse side will show "CONVOY FOLLOWS".
