so I'm the proud steward of a new (well, to our shop anyway)
Marathon Motor Mini Crew Cab Model 1113
she's got a sweet 3 speed stick with the longest throw this side of major league baseball plus she's got a super sweet cassette tape radio that gets
all the jams.
it's been sitting in storage for months so it's not pretty, but I have a line on a power washer that will take care of that come Friday.
once we get it washed, bleed the brakes, flush the radiator and change the oil I'll post some actual pix of our MMMCCM1113.

HA! I used to drive one of those around Korea. Except mine was a two door model. It was fun driving that thing on an icy flightline.

well after 45 minutes with the power-washer (thanks Zak) it's
almost clean. I was so beat from washing the damn thing out in the sun I didn't take any pix. I'll remedy that on Monday after we bleed the brakes and mount the aux lights.
I'm also voting for a push bar...

we support 8th & I, the Barracks Towers and the Band Annex from our offices at the Navy Yard so we use the cart to get around when there's gear to haul or if the weather is especially shitty.

If you dig around, you'll find video of someone that mounted a ma-deuce in the back of their Ford Rangerr pickuptruck... the recoil was enough to roll it when they shot sideways.

I'm trying to get SSgt Reed to check the .50 out from the Armory. he's all for it but thinks Armory might give him some static...

Hmm...have you thought about using a spray-on durable liner for the truck bed?

it's a work truck, not my truck. no reason to spend money on liner. would be better off getting the damn engine tuned, it runs like crap.

Rhino Liner? That's
