I am SO excited, because my brother just sent me some more pictures through the email. You will see them presently. I must say that it is cool that he is letting me describe them.
So, here we go with more cool photos.

OOPS! Thank goodness that this doesn't happen very often. Phil told me that this incident cost a lot, in straightening metal, and repainting.

I think I'm stuck. Time for the winch and somewhere to hook it to. OH! It just so happens that I have this anchor-type device that digs into the ground for support to enable me to dig myself out. Whoopee!

Great truck, pics and story! I always wanted to do such a truck out of a Uni-mog. May have to settle for a Deuce, although they don't get around as well as the smaller AWD such as the Uni-mogs and your brother's truck. Convery my thanks to your brother!

Well, that's it for now. I am going to bug my brother to send me more photos. I KNOW that he has way more many of them. WOW, I thought I just sounded like a hippie. OK, then, Peace, Brothers and Sisters. Rudy BUT, WAIT! There IS more.
