Maine Rally 2010

[Boatcarpenter]

BillF,
I have a towbar and can get a set of tow lights so I could haul you behind my Deuce for some of the trip.
Also, if we can get Patch to bring his M37, we all may just go 45 or so.

45 is fine. Now if I can only get the jeep to run right again.

I took the 66' (85' rebuilt) Kaiser 109 for a shakedown run tonight, finally got all the new brake lines and fittings to stop leaking. So far so good, getting the hang of driving it. If things continue to go well I can see myself making the 2.8hr Journey at 45mph.... I should get working on the broken speedo next...

Thought: Cabelas in Scarborough would be a good rally point for a convoy for those heading up from the South.

 

[Towerguy1]

Scarborough isn't to bad a ride to here. Hope you make the trip.

Unfortunately my shift work schedule dictates that I work the weekend of the 19th and 20th of June so there's no way for me to make it to the rally. However, being new and very interested in military vehicles, M35's and their variants in particular, I'd like to meet some of the members in central Maine to learn more and take a look at an actual truck if anyone is willing to take some time to educate me....

On a side note...I know some potato farmers by the name of Crane over in Exeter....

 

[Towerguy1]

I would be happy to help and show you my trucks I'll PM you.

To anyone coming to the rally bring a spare set of front lifting shackles if you want to part with them.Thanks

 

[Katahdin]

Just wondering if you guys had any New England sources for new 9.00x20 NDTs? I'd like to swap out a couple questionable tires before traveling too far with the 109.

 

[Towerguy1]

No real good sources here in Maine that Ive found. I could loan you a tire if you have trouble.

 

[Boatcarpenter]

Getting closer. Who is going? Let's try to put a good group together.

[Towerguy1]

Hope to see a good group this year, be sure to spread the word. Even if your MV isn't up for the trip, We'd still like to see ya !!! Working on makeing things a little better this year

 

[Towerguy1]

OK, Now that the big holiday weekend is over, Lets try to ramp up some excitement for the rally. Anyone bringing anything interesting, or have any sugestions? speak up!

I'm glad to see a rally being planned! I'm Beaubeau's son, and have two deuces myself. I just asked my wife, and she said she would be up for a weekend of fun. Don't worry, she's not a "chick" girl, she's been 4-wheeling and camping with me before. I'm in northern NH, just north of Berlin, so I'd be headed over on Rt. 2.

I have it cushy...the 11.00 highway radials makes long drives easy. The first shakedown run for this truck was the 1100 mile drive home from Kentucky.

Hey Jim,
Is your old man coming again with another bobbed Deuce for Mike to play with?
BC

 

[nhdiesel]

I have no idea...and he probably doesn't either. I may be bobbing my other one, so maybe we'll bring both of mine. I'll ask him when I talk to him.
