It is awesome to see others who love the breed as much as my family does! We had to put down our first Berner this summer due to Degenerative Myocitis. He was only 5 and a half, so he was taken much too soon. We considered other breeds, I have had a lab and a golden in the past, but there is something about the Berner personality that just wins you over.
I've been prepping him to be my hiking companion, and he will be carrying his own backpack as soon as he gets to be 18 months old. He seems to like the old rover pretty well, so with any luck he will become a great dog!Bad gas mileage gets you to some of the greatest places on earth.Comment

Fresh from the Pangolin shop in Oregon, here are a couple of photos from my weekend trip bringing my 88 to San Francisco. Ike did an amazing job!

So you're the owner of the truck we've been drooling about over on the GnR forum!
Amazing Rover!Comment

Thanks, all! I still check the garage every now and then to make sure I'm not dreaming. Looking forward to driving it more and working on it myself.
The color was definitely worth the trouble. So pleased that Ike was able to track down an original dark grey, since the mid grey or even burnt grey wasn't what I was looking for. initially, i wanted a nice original patina, but we found this truck part way through a restoration that was mechanically sound with a very solid chassis and bulkhead. Only thing was it had been stripped of all exterior paint. So I bit the bullet. Glad I did.1965 88 Petrol

Love the GnR thread...had no idea. Awesome.
Many thanks to Ed in Alaska for going on a gas run when we crossed paths in Scotia, CA. In the 700 miles I drove between Springfield, OR and SF, his sweet expedition SIIA was the ONLY series we came across. It just so happened to be the exact moment that I ran out of gas on the 101. Funny, the gage said I had 1/4 of a tank! What are the odds? But like he said, these rigs are attracted to each other.1965 88 Petrol
