I am still around . . .
It is good to see many of the names still around from the Big-E. Typically people fall off web boards when their vehicle is "finished" and they move in new directions to tackle other projects. IMHO, the MV/Power Wagon folks are an especially great bunch for helping each other out.
Anybody Remember "Matzo Mike" out of Wisconsin?
I've been hauling his engine around for the past few years, and would really like him to take it off of my hands...
"Immeadiate action for a Mercedes cutting in front of your M-37 on the highway: Engage front axle, put transmission in low; you're gonna go climbing, so you might as well be ready for it..."
How are you doing guys.....
Man, Names from the past. It's good to see that all of you are doing good. I still ponder wether Monkey Man ever finished his truck. It was the never ending saga of trying to figure out what he was going to do next....lol....

G'day Pete.....
My truck is still evolving to suit my requirements, I picked up recently from an equipment swap a Miller Roughneck 2e 3.5 Kva generator with 200A welder built in that I will restore and fit in the back, like all things though they take time and money, both of which are thin on the ground at the present.......
Has anyone heard from Bob Kelly?
Regards - MM

Back around
Hello to all. I used to love the old Bigelectric site but fell away when my first wife decided that the old truck was half hers and my half was too. I just got another a little over a yearand a half ago, (truck and wife)and have since given her the works . I am even installing the much coveted and long awaited winch. It seems that once you get the fever, it never goes away. Looking back at the names brings back alot of laughs and some good advice too. Love the new(er) site.

Hello Everyone
Boy, talk about taking a walk down memory lane. It's good to see some things never change
It's been a long time since I cruised this forum. Monkeyman, Thanks for keeping this dream alive.
I'll be back when I get some time to spare just to catch up. Good to be back.
