    M925A1 recovery from Barstow success:-)

    WOW. I was watching those trucks and, although I'm not ready to pull the trigger, I did notice what a nice truck that one was. Great score! Too bad Quicy is so far from Sac. I'd say we can get together.

    wsucougarx's M923 acquisition

    Nice work on the truck...I love the mods... Regarding the gun mounts, am I correct that you now have 5 mounts in the truck? Why have dash and door mounts? The reason I'm asking is that I have a NOS pair of gun mounts and am deciding where to mount them in the truck.

    Nor. Cal. event...MV display needed

    The carshow was fun...not a huge turnout but we did collect over $160.00 for Wounded Warriors Project. The Indian was quite the crowd pleaser especially when I fired it up for a quick ride around the show. Hopefully we can get more Nor. Cal. folks to join in.

    Easy oil pan change

    I changed my pan with no issues...mine is not lifted although if you jack up one side of the frame it will give you a bit more room.

    Soft Top

    Besides bending the bars a bit, take a small file and file a knotch/tooth on the small diameter part that goes in the hole up near the flange. When you install the bars, the knotch/tooth will catch the sheetmetal of the door frame. This will keep the bars from bounching out.
