Random old photo (1991 +/-) recently found.........when in the early nineties it seemed everyone ran Toyotas! Kinda a fluke photo, the gray truck is mine and the red 4 Runner was one of my team mates. There also seems to be a black 4R in the background.I seem to recall the instructor had white mini truck as well because we used as a "delivery/jump-out vehicle" for some of the training scenarios.
If you know you know.

It's a U.S. military Unimog FLU419.

This earthmover Unimog is one of those vehicles that I have absolutely no conceivable use for, but find myself wanting all the same. It's a

The Denver Post article from 2009:
Yeah, Helen Richardson from the Denver Post rode with me on that Bill Moore Lake trip. I'm not sure whether she's still with the Post but after that trip I did notice her name on a lot of the Post's photos. I believe Sheba is/was a friend of Ige's, who if memory serves, somehow had acquired a really early 40 that Ige and I worked on. I think it was like a 1962 or something, I remember it had a centered rear diff like an FJ25. She didn't ride with us on that trip though.

Corbet, I like your sig line statement "1976 Project with little progress" I can totally identify with that as far as my 1976 FJ40 with little progress over the past several years!
Can confirm, slightly bitter tasting, I prefer the old flavor of original Duracell buttons.
Might even switch to energizer!?

so I get a lot of unsolicited inquiries for products. Received this one today...
Just can't stop chuckling... any time I take an acoustic guitar camping I'm always sure to bring the Marshall amp along.. they go great together. Must have taken hours to get those cords to all line up like that

looks like it was an image that was fabricated. I like the backup bluetooth speaker.
I should let this go... but what also irks me is the ground plug for the 110 outlets. They're just holes, not actually grounded.
Oh, and notice how it's backwards? Look at the one on the wall in your office- The big one (white wire) is supposed to be on the left, the small black wire on the right. So now I'm supposed to plug that Marshall head into this, ungrounded, with reverse polarity. I have noticed so many of them are like this too, not just this brand.
I had an Ampeg head way back when that didn't have a ground plug so it was possible to plug it in backwards, but it actually had a polarity switch, so when you did that you could reverse the polarity with the switch. Guess what if feels like when you are playing with reverse polarity, then your lip gently touches a microphone...

I’m out in Massachusetts visiting my mom and helping around the place. Found this…my great grandfather owned and ran the dodge dealership in Westfield mass. Waaay back when. Check out the phone number.
