This is probably one of the most overloaded Willys Jeep fire trucks I have seen! Check out the size of the water pump on the front!

Do you remember the Desert Beast Ford Bronco monster truck? Whatever happened to it? Who owned it and what were the stats on it?

Howe Fire Apparatus converted a lot of Jeep FC trucks into fire trucks in the late 50’s and early 60’s. The Anderson, Indiana company was known across the nation as one of the top builders of fire trucks. The photo above shows an unique Jeep FC-150. Notice that the two large reels are connected to a number of small carbon diorxide tanks.

May has been an exciting month for Off Road Action. I moved across the country to British Columbia, which made for some delayed articles. In regards to stats, a wide range of articles were popular on Off Road Action. Which was your favourite?

The USA-1 Monster Truck Facebook page has some great vintage photos! Do you have any to ad? We would love to see them!

For me, one of the best parts about Waynes World was the pimped out AMC Pacer. Did you know that there was a few AMC Pacers that were raced off road in the 70’s?

This 1953 Willys Jeep CJ-3B was part of the factory fire brigade at DE (Douwe Egberts) in Joure, Friesland. Together with its 1935 mobile pump, it wasn’t retired from stand-by duty till 2004! It is now in a private collection.

I do not know the story on this Willys wagon, but man, is she a beauty! I love the burgandy paint!

This is a great collection of videos about the Wally Byam Caracan Club International travelling from Capetown to Cairo in 1959. Imagine a group of trucks towing Airstream trailers through the middle of Africa in 1959? 36 vehicles and over 100 people! There is a lot of really neat moments throughout the videos, such as the encounters with the Pigmy people that had never seen a balloon before. Does anyone have more information about this expedition?
