My leave was approved, so my oldest son (Brian) an I will be there Wed-Sun!! My dad (Dale) will probably come down Fri-Sun. We are planning on bringing the M818 and the M1009. Can’t wait!

So far my calendars fairly clear. Will be up late Wednesday or early Thursday. I have a tow bar and my shop is only 30 mile/45 min away in case anyones needs assistance, or wants to see how there truck handles dragging me home if I break!

 

[DJones]

I will be driving one of Jason's Forths trucks down on Saturday and Jason will be driving his other truck.

Anybody want a soft top for M1009 / K5?

Anybody interested in buying or trading for a M1009 / K5 Blazer soft top at the Haspin Rally? I don't use mine anymore, I've gone back to hard top. They cost over $800 new. Mine is in good shape with no tears, but is used and has been in the sun a lot. Doesn't leak when it rains, keeps exhaust fumes out, keeps warm air in during winter. Sides and back can be rolled up for safari-style driving without removing anything, and is a lot easier to take on and off than the hard top!

Would love to get some 12.00R20 tires for spares for my Deuce, M101 or M105 trailer, $$$, or ???

As DJONES mentioned, we plan on being there with the humvee and the 923. Looking forward to it!

This is the 14th year for Haspin! I've been to every one of them, always a good time. Search Haspin on the site, and you will find tons of videos, discussions, pics, etc.

I haven't been since Gimpyrobb showed off the underside of his truck...
However...with enough advance warning on the date, and the high probability that I will skip Aberdeen next year... I may be able to return next year for the 15th Anniversary Edition...

It's a LONG drive from Raleigh, but I had a great time both years that I made it....

CG, It's easy, second weekend in June every year.

Great! I had not realized that...
That makes asking for the time off much easier

Can you post a picture of the camper body?

 

[love a cummins]

it has one broken window, smells musty inside. the floor inside is not flat up in the drivers side front. all the lights fan and inverter seem to work.

 

[Shrapnel]

So who's gonna make it next week? I plan to arrive Thursday afternoon. Will just be in my M1009 as the M275A2 isn't ready for a road trip yet.

 

[galaxie428]

I plan on being there for Saturday along with DJones. I'm looking forward to it, hopefully it cools off a bit.

 

[donnerwetter58]

I should be out Thursday about noon with a planned departure of Saturday evening.

You have about 700 miles. Could take a bit of time in a Deuce.
Come on out and enjoy the fun and company.

 

[TheRainbowBoxer]

Stretch and I are packed and ready! Will be there Weds noon or a little later through Sun morning!
Can't. Freakin. Wait.

Edited to add - And there are a pile of additional Mowrons coming this year... from NJ, PA, and several from OH!

 

[sue]

Leave Wednesday am, Ron Illinois probably, then hit
Indianapolis speedway museum. Next stop haspin
Thursday afternoon.
Besides the speedo in the deuce reads to 80 mph
so surely it should cruise at 75mph right?
