          I really like this unit.

          What military is that from? Singapore? Taiwan?

          Very, very nice.

              That couldn't be one of the infamous 2wd Belgians, could it? Seeing that it has front hubcaps I'm not too sure.

                From that picture you cannot tell. The 2wd drive axle was pretty much the same as the stock front from the swivel ball flange on out. They actually had a funky little shaft in the swivel to act as an oil thrower to keep the king pins lubed so they still used the stock hub caps.

                  I just dragged this Rover home last weekend. It is a completely unmolested 1964 IIA complete with Koenig winch and rear PTO. It is a one owner Rover that has sat untouched for the past 25 years. The inspection sticker on the window is from 1982.

                      Thanks Rob. I found this one near Camden, ME. After sitting for 25 years, it was a real pain to move. The front end had sunk into the ground up to the diff. It took about 4-5 hours of digging & winching to get it on the trailer.

                          From the looks of the bushes you needed not only a shovel but pruning shears as well. I am envious - you just don't see these sitting around out here in Utah. Really nice 109" - do you have the same plans for the 88"?

                                Can you tell me about your wheels, size and source. Do they fit std on the free spinning hubs , I have a 69.
