Using 5 ton cargo trucks for adventure type ventures

[wreckerman893]

I remember someone posting about using 900 series 5 ton cargos to haul passengers for "Safari" type adventures.
I have searched till the cows came home (and we do have cows) and could not find them. Can some search guru help an old guy out?

Real safari or just tours?

There's a guy here in GA, Madison I believe, that's doing it. He was at the rally. I can't remember his name though.

Eastern Surplus claims to have built some for 6 Flags. See the link on their home page.

There are 5 trucks down here parked beside the road 20 minutes south of the Liberia airport. I inspected a combination of deuces and M939 series offered as tour vehicles. They are fitted with forward facing seats and appear to be ready to roll. However the advertising company has a website that does not exist??? In addition the trucks have cargo truck license plates, which is an obvious signal that the sellers don't know their business.

Thanks for the replies so far...the one I'm thinking of had paintball guns mounted on the sides and the riders could shoot at (Z word deleted) while they were on the tour. I may have seen this on another site but for some reason I'm thinking that it was posted on here. May have been deleted due to the use of the Z word.

Theres one for sale out here on the Phoenix CL. Just saw it yesterday. Has a long ramp to walk up into the back I guess. Big $$

 

[wreckerman893]

I have trucks.....I've already have my insurance carrier checking on insurance for an event I may try but it never hurts to get a second or third quote.

Ok, I'll try again.

WM, That paintball (at least one of them) is up here by me. About 8 miles from me or so. I took a picture of their billboard and posted I think. They have several.

One of the links above are to the Lond of Illus1on. I went looking
just for fun to learn about the place and I found way more than I
was looking for!

The folks driving these things need to be LICENSED and TRAINED.
Carrying passengers and not knowing how to use that Brake release? OMG!

I think I hear the FWCW buzzing the whole time and what I see
at 1:14 is CRAZY! LOL! Do I hear him say "the brakes are not
that good in'em" too? OMG! Ya think?

You're not seriously going thru with that "Mounted Night Possum Hunting" idea you were talking about...are you??

There is a place close to me that has a M923 with paint ball guns down the side of it.

 

[wreckerman893]

Crusher.........you nailed it Brother....thanks.

 

[swbradley1]

That's the one by me Richard. If you get hold of them or want me to stop by let me know.

Can you get me a grid square and maybe a website or phone number? Never hurts to have a couple of resources. Thanks.

That is case and point why all of us (old heads) preach read the -10 TM before you drive one.
