Short video of my truck
One of the guys at the West Virginia Power Wagon Rally shot this short video of me doing a stream crossing. Its nothing too treacherous, but it was fun. Heck, you probably could have taken your Grandmother's Buick through! The Rally was a 320 mile loop through West Virginia, stopping at various natural wonders, it was a load of fun.

Re: Short video of my truck
I believe that was county road #35 in WV...
I use to take my 151 down to WV to off road. Maybe someday I'll have my truck done and can go to that meet it sounds like a blast.
Your truck looks great too!

Re: Short video of my truck
Very nice video, thanks for posting. Is your truck painted "strata blue"? Also liked the vid of all the Dodges (& M725) crossing the bridge.

Re: Short video of my truck
Hi Matt,
Next year will be a static Rally, held at Chestnut Ridge State Park. There will be a good trail ride Saturday. Every other year he hosts a Road Rally, like this one, which started in Morgantown, and we made a 320 mile loop south to Canaan Valley and back. Lots of fun, I hope you can make it.

Re: Short video of my truck
Hi Bob,
The top is one which was given to me by a friend. It is from Weebee Webbing. I need to tighten up the roll at the top of the windshield. I was driving on the Interstate down there, crossing a long bridge with a strong crosswind. I noticed daylight appear at the center of the windshield! I reached up and grabbed the front edge of the canvas as it tried to make a parachute. I knew my exit was in about 6 miles, and so I held on to the canvas for dear life. I could steer, but not shift, but didnt need to until I got to the exit. I pulled off on the side of the ramp and got it stuffed back in. Later I tapped the roll in some more with a block of wood and a hammer, A good field repair, but I need to improve it some more.

Re: Short video of my truck
For my various MVs I've used both Beechwood and weebee. Weebee makes a good product for the money and their turn around time wasn't bad either. Their website is: http://www.odcloth.com/

Re: Short video of my truck
Cool video. I like the color of your truck. It is great to see it climbing over rocks and through a stream. I also have a top from Weebee Webbing. It's 5 years old and still looks tight and new.
