I vote no.

 

[SHUSH]

of all people to say no....the guy most eager to spend mike's money on it!!!!!!!!

 

[Bomar]

I mirror Nolen on this one...

Let this thread have the respect it deserves. Mike can start his own thread. Lock this sucker down!

I'm not eager to spend Mike's money. I do know that if he ends up with all that he wants in a 40, he will have spent $25,000 or more in the end. But....he will have a good time doing it.

Rear sear belts, sliders, family cage. Hopefully by the crawl.

A rear locker would make things better too. Rear seat belts are a google away. Sliders can be built in an hour. Easy stuff.

 

[wngrog]

You will be shocked at how bad a 40 performs on the rocks without a locker....

Shush's old 40, somewhere in the wilds of Wyoming

Interesting road trip from Austin to Casper--1500 miles and only one mechanical failure, and a massive blizzard in northern New Mexico. I'm tied up in Houston this week but will post a Cliff's Notes version when the smoke clears and I'm back home.

Here's a few crappy cell phone pics. Not Grogan professional quality, but it's all I had to work with.

That's the Virginian Hotel in Medicine Bow,where Owen Wister wrote The Virginian.

Great little saloon inside.

Are you still telling that epic story of the first trip up there? I think I followed it for a year of so.

Nolen, the Rustbucket thread was temporarily shut down because of a flood of unrelated posts. I think that was about the same time I was in Laurel dealing with tornado damage, with a lot of help from several CottonLand lumberjacks. But yeah, I'm not finished with the tale and there's a lot more to be told. Just need to ask Poser to re-open the thread.
