M200a1 It is an M200A1 with a Caterpillar produced conversion kit. You replace the hub with the boggies and track on each side. Justin

scouts... More on the scouts shooting day. If any of you work with kids and shooting sports I built a tool that will help improve their experience. It does little to teach skills but it sure gives them a lot of joy. We had 100% tannerite hit (average age was 9) count because of the ground...

done Completed the trailer just in time for the parade. Dropped it down ~7". The parade went well but we had some no shows. Still a lot of fun. Got to shoot with some Scouts this afternoon. Something about tannerite and stuffed animals is always a hit. Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

Parade on Sat... As with most of my off-the-wall ideas.... this one was born out of necessity. We have a parade on Sat that kicks off our county fair. It looks like we will have more folks show up to ride than the 474 can carry alone. The only logical solution was to make a matching trailer...

I started the tracked trailer today. Will wrap it up tomorrow. I am: 1. Adding a cargo bed (deuce 12' bed) 2. Modifying the bed to fit between the trailer rails (sits too high) 3. Turning around the tracks so the tread is going the right way 4. Upgrading to alloy wheels to match the look of...

Ice... The only ice here in South Texas is in my glass of sweet tea. I don't function below 70*. Thanks Gerald. Your cutting tip was 24 kt gold. There is no "you" in this evolution. I was just a cog in the wheel of this conversion. A GREAT team made this possible. We are building a...

Little wife.... Amanda had to give it her stamp of approval... Justin

check ride I ran around in the track today. I drove to three bordering towns and the machine is doing great. It will run 40mph comfortably but most of the trip was spent at 25-30mph. Stopped at Sonic for a drive in lunch. Great fun. The rubber tracks are a big plus. Saw 4 Law Enforcement...

welcome I am not far from you. If they want to trail ride the trucks on my property give me a call. Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

play day Well today was a fun day. We ran the track and shot a lot of fun guns. It rained 2.5" yesterday. These tracks do not do as well in the mud as the steel tracks but they do OK. The burm was dug on Friday so there is a big hole next to it that we drove through. The tracks spin a bit...

more... NMC_EXP... The tracks are made by Soucy. The kit includes new drive sprockets, idler wheels, spacers and studs. Here are some action shots I just pulled off of my camera. The last pic is of some of "Da Boys" that made this possible. Mr George is one of NASA's top go-to guys and Eric...

Sunday I have a group of folks getting together this Sunday to run the new tracks and test fire the minigun. Fellow SS are welcome. Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

Brazoria County Fair Parade The Brazoria County Fair Association parade is Oct 13. The fair kicks off after the parade so it will be a good time all day. Parade in the morning and fair all afternoon. I am driving the XM474 in the parade. Brazoria County Fair Association Justin Wehring 979...

Done... We still need to put the rails and tailgate back on but we are mostly done. I still can't believe how quiet it is with these tracks. We signed up for our county's fair parade on the Oct 13. This machine will be full of kids/veterans in the parade. Thanks again to all that have...

Both fit... OK Folks... both tracks fit and we crawled it out under its own power. Quiet, Quiet, Quiet... is the best way I can describe it. We will be done tonight. Won't make steak night before they sell out but will run to town for burgers tomorrow. Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

passenger side track on We installed the passenger side track tonight and it went on. We will test fit the driver side tomorrow. We may not need the second cut.... Thank you Eric for working like a pack mule this weekend. Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

weldment We started welding it back together tonight. Pics to follow tomorrow. Will be done with this section tomorrow. Just to be sure we will test fit the tracks (wishful thinking) then make the second cut on Saturday. It will be (at least) tacked on Sunday if not fully welded. Can't...

Why... Here is why the cuts need to happen... The wheelbase on the M548 is 6" longer than the M113. Justin
