Welcome to the insanity, nice looking truck. Glad it made it in one piece. :D

If you ever need to haul it on a U-Haul trailer in the future I’d seriously recommend using tie down straps, when I used a U-Haul for mine the trailer the trailers wheel tie downs came off the tires with in the first few miles. They are too small for 33” BFG’s. Thankfully I had followed David Dunn’s advice and had used regular tie downs all the way around.

Nice truck and a nice 1st post!
Where did you find it (post more pics when you can - looks nice and original)?
Let the fun begin

Nice, now maybe I'll have a fellow Pinz owner to explore the Ozarks with sometime!

I found it in Tulsa, OK on ebay. I'm in SW Missouri area and had been waiting for an unmolested one reasonably close that wouldn't cost a fortune to ship. This one fit the bill perfectly.

Haven't had a chance to spend a lot of time with it yet, but hope I will soon.

Sounds like it's time for a Mid America Treffen in early fall. Somewhere around the OK. AR. MO. state lines sound good?

i would suggest grand lake...it has a lot to offer...and its not too far from the borders mentioned, right up in the Northeastern part of OK between langley and disney. it would be roughly 60 miles from Tulsa OK, 60 from Joplin MO, 60 miles from Bentonville AR and i think about 60 miles or so from Coffeyville, KS.

tons of trails below the dam and plenty of 4x4 oriented camping (hogans offroad park) with primative as well as full hookups. trails range from technical to extremely easy, from mud/water holes to rock crawling; from atv narrow to 2 lanes wide. hogan even has multiple rescue vehicles (mogs - or things that used to be mogs anyway!) should the unthinkable happen.

A buddy of mine told me today about a place out in Seymour, MO called SMORR. 1000 acres of off road trails and camping. Check it out at smorr.net.

Yeah, my best friend who lives in Springfield is a good friend of the owner of Smorr. I've heard a lot about the place and have been encouraged to go there, but I have yet to check it out.

I prefer the primitive camping, further out the better. Ill leave the specific location up to you locals as Ill be driving a few hours to get there anyway. Once we're solid on the place, post it in the trail and runs section.
