Neat looking truck. I can't say I've seen or heard of one of those before.

all I think is "tailgating vehicle" whenever I see this stuff. Paint it red. Put a Pack flag on it. drive it through other schools tailgating area.

6/28/2007 10:33:27 AM

Planning an invasion?

6/28/2007 12:34:36 PM

speaking of ^^, does anyone know a good place to park such a thing at state games? my bus will be going tailgating this year. i know you used to be able to park such things in the fairgrounds parking, but i've been doing arena parking since all the stupid rule changes over there so i don't know.

The previous owner used it to tailgate. He even is including the bars so it can have a side awning like the orange one below. It will fly the ECU and Virginia Tech flags this year, as I have attended both and will be going to those games. If I have the time this year, I will take it to a State tailgate.

one, that's freakin awesome.

two, i like the mog too.

three, what is it with you and your sick addiction to rovers?

four, can you put a/c in it?

6/28/2007 6:04:30 PM

looks angrier than unimog but no portal axles. although those are good size tires

6/28/2007 6:09:13 PM

a/c would be sacra religious

saw the truck getting off at the gorman exit off of 40/440. took a picture of it with my camera phone cause i saw this thread yesterday and was like "what are the chances"
i will post pics later

6/28/2007 11:05:34 PM

sweet Jesus that is alot for tires, hope he got 5^ ^

The truck is here, its got 900x16's

the top ripped on the front and in the back...wind got underneath it and top was a little old

Im gonna put some grommets on it and zip tie it down tomorrow

brakes need adjustment, they are too soft for my liking

might paint it this weekend. I like that bright yellow, but also a NCSU red or Burgundy would be nice.

I like the tent on top of the truck idea.

6/28/2007 11:12:47 PM

looks dangerous

6/28/2007 11:17:55 PM

this might be the look I am going to go for (with black wheels)

it's not a rover without some hellas.

6/29/2007 12:29:56 AM

I'm not feeling the yellow.

But it's your truck.

6/29/2007 12:44:01 AM

6/29/2007 1:07:32 AM

I drove a HEMTT briefly in the Army. Its not bad off road, but it makes you really nervous on the road (the biggest thing I had driven to that point was a Ford Ranger)

The MAN 8X8 is a sizeable beast too



I took the 101 out for a late night ride. Whatever gas was in there wasn't worth shit, I was sputtering everywhere. I switched it over to LPG and it took off like it was new.

the lot across from wendy's, its like international waters, anything goes

6/29/2007 9:03:12 AM

whatever you do, dont paint it yellow. even with black wheels.

Im thinking Orange or Red at this point.

6/29/2007 2:03:29 PM

6/29/2007 2:08:39 PM

Thats really interesting..stop by if you are in the area.

6/29/2007 5:17:38 PM

^ I will

Its going to be a burgundy red tomorrow. I am going to rhino line the interior and put some black carpet in the center console. Its really starting to come together.

6/29/2007 7:08:39 PM

i seen a jacked up, cromed out, squeaky clean international truck with a big smoke stack in the hilton parking lot today.

it pretty much said "my owner has the smallest penis in this establishment"

6/29/2007 7:13:00 PM

scuba steve, I say you haven't lived until you have driven a hemmt 74 miles an hour on the autobahn. well, you may have lived, but you haven't been aware of how much you can clench your butthole.

6/29/2007 10:06:33 PM

Ive done some pretty white knuckle driving on a M113 armored personnel carrier. But you are right, driving HEMTTs in general is scary stuff.

6/29/2007 11:15:27 PM

My car (Mindy) told me to tell you that she'll kick your truck's butt.... But she doesn't like to hurt boys, so you should take her to ice cream instead.

6/29/2007 11:53:08 PM

And didn't your boat tell you to shut the hell up or take her swimming?

6/30/2007 12:03:42 AM

My truck will take Mindy to a nice seafood dinner and then fail to return her phone calls.

6/30/2007 12:09:50 AM

Oooof! hahaaaa

6/30/2007 12:11:36 AM

Mindy doesn't call boys... she says there's a reason tradition has been in place for eons. She doesn't take phone calls from boys who try to get fresh before date #15 either.

6/30/2007 12:17:59 AM

I think I must be missing something...is Claire hitting on me via car?

6/30/2007 12:24:49 AM

Nah, but the new ride is pretty pimp though

6/30/2007 12:27:23 AM

you got served

6/30/2007 12:39:00 AM

bah, I don't see it that way

A long weekend of work, but here she is. Paint isn't perfect, but neither is the body. Think she looks a lot nicer now. New license plate mount and reflectors as well.

if anyone can help me adjust the timing it would be appreciated

7/1/2007 9:52:40 PM

Mindy said to deliver the message that your truck needs an NCSU sticker, and then it can take her on a hay ride.

7/1/2007 9:58:35 PM

WTF did you paint it with!?!?!??

7/1/2007 10:57:56 PM

krylon in a can son

7/2/2007 8:43:31 AM

looks like you let a 5th grade class paint that with some crayolas

7/2/2007 9:50:58 AM

I used tractor enamel. It had a brush job on it already, so I sanded out the bad spots and primed it and painted it. Its not perfect but it looks good. And no it was not rattle can-ed

scuba steve you are going to look like a straight up jihad extremist rolling around in that thing

7/2/2007 10:48:01 AM

right. because land rovers are middle eastern and so is steve.
