Last year, we featured a custom radio control 67-72 Ford Bumpside Ford truck. Today, we have a hand built radio control 1967 Dodge Fargo Sweptline Power Wagon truck. We are serious when we say it was hand made. The wood body and driver are hand carved. The chassis is homemade from wood and aluminum. It uses Axial axles and shafts and RC4WD transmission, rims and reduced tires. A GCM transfer case and 18.5 Novak goat esc and motor wrap up the drivetrain. I still cannot believe that the body is hand carved! What an incredible job! Make sure to check out the video below!
Apparently, the French military used Dodge Power Wagons in Africa.
The TV commercial below for the 1963 International Scout 800 boasts that the Scout can be used on the ranch as well as as going into town. Do you think the first generation International Scout was a great all purpose vehicle?
Get this. A diesel powered Jeep CJ-7 built in France and called the Texan. I guess it makes sense, since Renault owned Jeep for a while. In fact, I would love to drive a Jeep CJ7 powered by the 2.0 litre Renault diesel. Notice how the turn signals on the fender have been replaced with english 4 wheel drive badges. What do you think about the whole Texan Jeep that was available in France?
Nothing. They have nothing in common, except that Chris Brogan used the above photo of a US Postal Jeeps in a blog post. Chris Brogan is known as one of the leading business consultants and speakers in North America. He writes Entrepreneur Magazine and is involved in a number of business coaching and online mentor programs. So, needless to say, I was surprised to see the US Postal Jeeps on the assembly line photo in his blog post titled Organize Your Business.
Brogan starts the article by stating that most small businesses do not work like an assembly line. He goes on to show us how he organizes his business day. While process may not work for everyone, it shows how you can achieve greater success by having goals and strategies in place on how to meet those goals. Time management is a huge contributing factor to success in both your professional and personal life. Priorities need to be laid out at the start of each day. Brogan and his commenters talk about not checking email for a few hours. I personally find this instrumental in getting tasks done! If I check one email, I will check another. Then another. Before you know it, I am working on a totally different project. Or worse yet, surfing the web, Facebook or Twitter. What works for you? How do you lay out your priorities at work? At home?
This 1957 Jeep Gladiator Fire Truck is one of my favourites. I have actually never seen one in person. Have you?
We recently came across a little known off road racing video that was produced by Jeep in the 70’s. Action, Out Of Sight covers a variety of off road racing across the country. Everything from desert races to family play days featuring obstacle course races. Remember the powder puff races, terra tires and 3 inches of wheel travel? This video is for you! What do you think of it?
Jeep: Declaration of Independance. Is that what the word Jeep means to you? What do you think of when you hear the word Jeep? Check out the 70`s tv commercial about the Jeep Wagoneer to see what Jeep thinks.
1956 Willys – Jeep CJ5 playing on the coal refuse banks at Blackwood in the 80’s. Facebook users, does this photo look familiar? Via…
