Really wish I could head down that way this year, but I'm not going to be able to make it.

Hope to make the next one though! Have fun! [thumbzup]

One of these years I will make it, but alas, this isn't it.

I grew up in Phoenix and still have family there. I'll give my brother a heads up in case he and my nephew want to show up as spectators.

I emailed the address on their website to get more info about anything I might need to know or do to bring my truck down for the show. Haven't heard back so I guess I'll just show up!

The only people who need prior arrangement are vendors. If you're bringing a truck to the show, just show up with it! You can bring it on Friday as early as 9 AM if you like.

Do I leave the truck overnight at the show, or take it home and bring it back on Sunday? I don't care either way, I just don't know how these things work, never done one before.

You can leave it overnight or take it home if you like. There will be several to many people there all the time from Friday to Sunday. Where the vehicles are is fenced off and locked at night.

Nice pictures, nice Truck, interesting discussion. I'm a Snowbird spending 6 months in AZ and 6 months in northern MI each year, I would jump at the chance to go out off-roading, but age caught up with me. I have a 39 year old brain with an 80 year old body. Sold my M35A3 and M923 as they just got too big for me to maintain, etc. - miss both of them and at times regret selling them. Have my M1008 here in AZ, so still have OD to play with. Two comments: There's the 12th Annual Southwest Military Transport Show at Falcon Field on March 26th and 27th, 2016. go to www.ahmta.com for more info. Also there's an informal gathering every Saturday (4-8) of vehicles at the parking lot near K-Mart NE of intersection of Power Rd and US 60. penokee & pluto

Do you think anyone would be opposed to my Daughter brining her cart full of Girl Scout cookies to ask if anyone is interested in buying at the event. Its an afterthought with good intentions. Thanks Aaron
