And these are sold to my good buddy Mark and will be delivered Saturday my friend :)

Well folks as much as I would like to use these on a project they are just too big. So with only 4000 miles on them and in great shape these Nitto Trail Grapplers can be yours. I ran another set for 36,000 through very harsh conditions and never had a puncture, tear or any kind of issue. email...

I love that the kids get the truck and you & the wife get the trailer....can't wait to see pics of each to better understand your setup. Great writeup so far and looking forward to more!

Well Eagle good news for you... I just put a deposit on a 82 Chevy Suburban with the 6.2L diesel & aftermarket turbo to use as a donor rig for my diesel conversion. Not sure if the inside wiring will be the same but you will be welcome to any parts I don't need. Now I just need to find a car...

As an ICU RN who sees plenty of people go super safe when they get something as serious as pancreatic cancer I say ..... good on ya for getting out there with the family and having an adventure. Sure there are risk and sure if it all goes pear shaped folks will say they told you so, but better...

Hey Eagle I am in central phx just north of the airport... the 67-72chevytrucks.com forum has some great sections for your year rig also along with full color wiring diagrams that would help put that mess back together. the nice thing about your year is there are even more of them in junkyards &...

My wife just laughed at me when I called and said I was broken down and staying in Yuma to fix it. No worries about finding a shop or dealer. After I got home 24hrs later than planned I was talking with my son. We talked about mechanical simplicity, having basic knowledge and knowing your...

The next morning I hit the O'riely's and once again was happy to own a Chevy 350 as they are pretty much the most common motor out there. I ditched the original burnt up 61amp alt for a replacement which they actually had in stock. Put in another external voltage reg....I had read about the...

I am a bit behind on updates due to family, work and all that getting in the way but I will now catch up on the latest happenings... And this part is called "Father gets to hang out in Yuma", or "I love old rigs because I can actually fix them" :) So a fellow on the 67-72chevytrucks.com forum...

I really recommend you do the chalk test empty as in around town mode and then again full up like you go camping. If you have never done it the method is simple... Just go to a parking lot where you have space to drive 100ft or so. Then take some of that wide kids sidewalk chalk and draw some...

I love the old iron and looking forward to seeing actual trip reports with this rig.. Don't get me wrong the builds are fun to watch, but what good is a build without actual travel at the end. Scott's Disco is nice and sure we have seen some pics from Utah but where are the trips with it? Where...

This is why I posted about the Perlinger Archives, this video and lots more are there and the vintage stuff is amazing to watch. Tough men, tough vehicles and a completely different perspective on life. Of course a bit of google **** and you will find some great info on the United Fruit Company

Tim, it would be great to go out with your family.. More than likely we will do this trip again in April or May otherwise it would be Aug/Sept to escape the fall heat. The only downside to Aug/Sept is the monsoon season could make things scary if there is rain. Feel free to pm your contact into...

Ok let's see if I can post up the kml files...this will be a first for me :)

It was a great time and just another reason I like being out west with all our public lands. Now to start planning the next outing :)

That wood grain is amazing.. And Paul I really like how you are thinking head with the wood sealing concept..rather than having hope to seal the top and then hope no water gets in, better to epoxy during construction. Great works and thanks taking us along

Sparky it wasn't a link ( no httpblah blah blah) just go to google and type equipped to survive forum and you will find it. Those guys have been talking this stuff long than Expo has been around. And many of them work in Search & Rescue and the rest practice what they preach. Just got off work...

Sorry I didn't get to snap any pics over the weekend (build & fired up by son's new knife forge) but I will work on it tomorrow. For now I will add a couple of thoughts.. Get a tablet stove & sierra cup or better the stainless steel cups that fit around a nalgene (you will see pics of mine)..and...

It is beyond cool to see what you do with that rig...I love the body style and my 13yr son and I have often talked about building a little rally bomber like you have. Thanks for the inspiration

Very cool report and thanks for the pics & commentary along the way. I have been to a bit of that area but you have made we want to go back and explore more. thanks
