Same guy, he had it built and he's been trying to sell it ever since. I think the first time I saw it for sale it was $225k?

Frames have been scrapped!

If you don't want to do it yourself, pretty much any tire place that's willing to do it. I'd just go for it, personally. Use lots of lube, let the tires heat in the sun first, use good spoons, and take your time. If you're going to take off originals from an old bike, you might even want to post...

Hell, let's ALL meet in OB and party, LOL.

I'll give you a holler via PM when I'm down there again, always up for a party!

Ah, my friend, that is the beauty of the Tatra platform. Multiwheeled, all wheel drive, heavy, and large. Where you park it, is where you keep it. Front yard. Neighbours front yard. On top of other cars. Anywhere you want. Better yet, import one of the MAZ Topol-M TEL's. That'll piss the...

YEAH...but you were on the Rogue! :sombrero: Wonder if it's just as simple as a bad flap control for that heater....wouldn't be surprised. Those things aren't vacuum controlled, are they? Just a simple linkage or cable? Cool rig...too small for my family, but very cool nonetheless. Great to see...

Very nice find! Keep us posted on your improvements!

For years I was heavily into Unimogs, and that morphed into more exotic military soft skins - then I moved for a while to the Czech Republic, actually had a nice talk with the factory reps about import/export of the T815's. At that time, Tatra SRO was really only in Czech Republic, and old East...

Hmmm...got a time period? I'm pretty much in the loop about these things, don't know of any T813/815 8x8 here. There's a 6x6 used by the FD, and for years there was a Ford 8x8 that some...ok, I"ll be nice..."creative" person painted black, and had it heavily done up in chrome that was a limo...

Hehe, yep, they're pretty nasty. USMC and their ocean hijinks, ya know? Not much doesn't rust out there. Believe me, it's not just surface rust on the frames....no way. The frames themselves are fuggedaboutit quality. Axles, hangers, springs can be worked with, and other bits and pieces like...

Located in Vista, right off the 78. Have two old trailer frames, USMC. Parts of one tub. If you're looking for springs, axle parts, etc....these might work for you. Just be aware that they're rusty, and it'll be a project. PM me here, or email me at czechsix at gmail dot com

Great write up, thanks for posting it. One of these days I'll get back to working on mine.

If you don't want to do a re-weld on the tank, you can sometimes find a replacement tank out on the net. Your best bet for finding info is Bob Gallagher's forums on the rokon, lots of stuff there, and plenty of talk back and forth. Plus classifieds. Just took another look at the pics and the...

Nice ride Joaquin! Most of the parts you're going to want for restoration are still available, and there are some good upgrades out there too, that'll still fit in with the bike. Mine's only a few years younger than yours.

Thumper or 2smoke? :D (we might have a new game developing here....)

On a bike? Or 4 wheels?

Yah, roof rack wiring.... Yet another thing I've got to deal with too. I don't like poking holes in the skin, so what I was thinking about was running power up the outside front of the camper, up from the truck frame, and make a hard mount on the front of the bed that's accessible from outside...

Howdy Fish, I'll post this in the thread too - I thought about that, but since the exterior skin is still watertight, I didn't want to mess with it. What I did find out was that, while the rear cabinets are easy to remove, the front cabinet on a Callen Streamline is actually attached from the...

Scott, bummer about the foot, but it's all part of the game.. Will be you posting the tracks or a .kml once you develop it? Looking at the rough map, I'm still interested, but I still need to see a definite track (like I'm sure everyone else does) before I'd pull the trigger and say yes, I'm...
