Box van The box van also has a Tommy Lift that works great, which is one of the major problems with it as a tow vehicle - no way to mount a good receiver with the Tommy Lift in place.

The bus has 200,000 + miles, but is in terrific condition. I don't know how often they come up at auctions, but should be pretty cheap. Ours is ex-UTA and has been cared for very well, so it should run another 100,000 miles with ease. We have a Dodge travel van with the high top, but the bus...

The Short Bus Thanks Cheston (grin). For now it may get a porta-potty. Yes indeed - Bec's working on decals now. Yes - it works great! We'll just blow right through them (big grin). We have a flat screen located at Sam's Club and a spare couch in the family room - good ideas...

Hopefully the pictures will post. Bec and I bought this 1999 Ford E450 bus with 7.3 liter Power Stroke from a fellow wheeler (Richard Bronsema of Above All 4X4) in Cedar City yesterday. It will haul the entire mob plus luggage, coolers, tools and parts where ever we choose to go. I just need to...

HTT I would also like Hanging Tree to stay open. My Scout literally grew up on that trail. I probably have made more trips on HTT than any other trail.

Weights We've been hoping to make it back to your area all summer - ain't gonna happen I guess. Zack is doing great. Bec's buggy is just about the ultimate in a minimalist buggy - not an ounce of fat on it.

Studebakers SWeeeeet!! The only trucks that look better than R series Studes are Stude Coupe Express trucks followed by M series Studes. There is a factory 1958 Studebaker 4X4 here in Evanston (E series) still owned by the original Studebaker dealer.

Weights '49 Dodge Power Wagon is 6200 lbs. - weighed several times at truck pulls. '67 Scout guessing it weighs about 5000 lbs. - D60 front, D70 rear with HEAVY IHC V-8. Bec's Sami buggy weighs 1760 lbs. - weighed on certified scale. Fun thread - thanks for posting it.

Jack That's good to hear. I heard the BATF story from a few MV collectors in Idaho.

Jack Tomlin My first visit to Jack's place was about 25 years ago. The first thing I saw there was a piece of steel plate about 4 ft. by 4 ft. by 4 inches suspended from gin poles on a 2-ton truck. There were 3 huge craters in the plate - Jack was using it as a target for one of his cannons...

I think CAL Ranch carries them.

If you can find an A/C unit from a Scout II, the in cab piece mounted below the dash as a separate assembly. Another up side to the Scout II A/C system is the York compressor used with it.

Hanging Tree Ouch - our 12th annual week-long trip to Jarbidge, NV hits both weekends. We really want to wheel the Hanging Tree this year with you guys. Have fun - should be exciting with the run-off coming down the canyon.

Happy B-Day Jack. Good to meet you last summer.

Power Wagons in Moab Our Power Wagon on Hole In The Rock Trail in 2009. Be sure to stop and say Hi if you see us on the trails.

Steve, there is a good trail a few miles from my house. I wouldn't recommend taking your Tacoma on it - pretty sure to get body damage. When you get your '81 ready, then we'll do that trail.

Bull snake? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=bull+snake+pictures&aq=1&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=bull+sn&gs_rfai=

Flop Hope Luke was OK - looked like a pretty hard drop.

Some relics Old Honda generator - still runs great. How many of you have seen a Kabar hatchet?

Upcoming trips Spent 2 weeks in Moab at EJS and after. Next weekend, drive to Idaho Falls to check out a sweet Sami buggy - hopefully buy it. Jarbidge, NV June 14 - 20 with the Power Wagon. Try to make some truck and tractor pulls on available days - again with the Power Wagon. DAA - if...
