I really love living in rural N.E. Oregon, but miss being able to join your PNW convoy/rendezvous. If one or more ever wants to do a road trip to the beautiful Wallowa Valley, I have more than enough acreage to park a bunch of MV's and set up a camp!
I had ask on this thread about the military 750 gallon fuel tanks that I had seen on some sites. I was interested in mounting one of these on my M35A2 bobber, to use as a farm water truck. I found that these aluminum tanks are going at retail outlets for over $1000 each. So, I bought four used ICB tank totes at 250 gallons each. These are mounted on an integral pallet, with a steel wire cage. Total cost was $200 for all four. They fit nicely in my bed with enough room on the sides and back to run 2" hose to the back of the bed and manifold them together. I will post a picture when I get it done. Now I can carry water for stock tanks, weed spraying or other uses. I plan to fabricate a trailer hitch mounted platform with a hose reel and a Honda pump, so I will have a thousand gallons of fire fighting ability. The bonus is that I can easily take them out and have the use of my standard cargo bed.
