Jeep trucks have always been one of my favourites, especially the desert racing Jeep Honcho’s! I remember reading the off road magazines when I was a kid and daydreaming about Roger Mears red Budweiser sponsored Jeep race truck. Thanks to the members of Race Dezert for posting these photos up!

Here is a restored military fire truck. I am not very good with the older army trucks…what make is this? Chevrolet? Studebaker?
Barn Find 1966 Ford Bronco With Camper For Sale!
Those of you that have been reading Off Road Action for a while will recall the early 1966 to 1977 Ford Bronco with Four Wheel Camper poptop camper articles that we did over the summer. We found this barn find 1966 Ford Bronco with a non pop top camper. Finding an early bronco that has uncut rear wheel wells and only 55,000 original miles is a bit of rarity, but finding one that also has a camper on the back is unheard of! We have emailed the owner asking for larger photos as well as a few camper interior shots. We are also interested in the different styling of the winch that is mounted on the front bumper. Frankly, someone needs to purchase this and restore it. We will even give the new owner a place on the website to document the restoration! Will you be the new owner?
1983 RHD Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Troopy For Sale
This article we posted back in the summer about a Toyota Land Cruiser Troopy for sale is still popular. However, I think I like this 1983 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Troopy even better. Maybe it is the pop up tent that I like, because it is definatly not the colour. The left hand drive is definatly interesting. I wonder how long it would take to get used to driving it? I would prefer it to have a diesel engine, but the stock 2F runs on both gasoline and propane. That should help out the fuel milage a little

Fiat Campagnola: This One Is Not For Sale!
Last month, we featured a 1956 Fiat Campagnola 4×4 that was for sale. At the time, the owner mentioned that he thought it was the only one in the USA. Since then, Off Road Action reader John Richardson sent us a photo of his Fiat Campagnola. It turns out that he lives less than 20 minutes from the owner of the other Fiat Campagnola! Richardson has put a lot of blood, sweat and tears (or is that beers?) into his Campagnola, but he attibutes that to the simple fact of owning a Fiat. We intend to do another article with more information about this unique vehicle. While it is rare to see one in North America, there seems to be a fair number of them in Europe. This probably stems from the fact that they were produced from 1951 to 1973 without any major changes. The Neuva Campagnola was an updated version that was manufactured from 1974 to 1987. So, has anyone else seen one in North America?
Baby Blue 1966 Ford Bronco For Sale
This baby blue uncut 1966 Ford Bronco needs a little work here and there, but overall is in pretty good shape. As per the photos on the ebay ad, there is some surface rust here and there, but when you consider that the early Bronco is 44 years old, it is in pretty damn good shape for an unrestored vehicle.

1953 Willys Jeep Bobcat-Another Jeep Prototype
A few weeks ago, we featured the prototype 1969 Jeep XJ001 4×4 sports car. Today we have another Jeep prototype, but we are going back to the companies army roots. Being that the Bobcat was designed to be an air drop vehicle, it weighed only 1475lbs. The tiny Willys Jeep shared a lot of parts with the M-38 and M38-A1, although the frame was from the MB tooling. Sadly, the Willys Jeep Bobcat never made the production line. However, we are still looking for more information about it. Does know more?
Restoration Of John Bakers 70’s Class 8 Dodge-First Dodge Sponsored Desert Race Truck
From what I can recall, John Baker was the first off road racer to be sponsored in full by Dodge in the Class 8 Two Wheel Drive class. Baker was a well rounded driver that had decent success in his Ford Bronco before switching to the Dodge truck. He ran this truck for two years before the Dodge sponsorship was transferred to Walker Evans. At this point, John Baker moved to a Class 7 D-50 mini truck. Does anyone have more photos or information about Baker and his Class 8 dodge desert race truck? It is currently being restored and the owner would like more information.
