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?
Vintage USA-1 Monster Truck Photos
The USA-1 Monster Truck Facebook page has some great vintage photos! Do you have any to ad? We would love to see them!
AMC Pacer Off Road Race Car?
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?
1953 Willys CJ3B Jeep Fire Truck
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.

Vintage Videos Of Travelling From Capetown To Cairo In 1959
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?
Awesome Kong II Monster Truck!
The Awesome Kong II monster truck was built by Jeff Dane of King Kong fame. The truck, which was the first rear engine monster truck, was powered by a V12 allison airplane motor. This powerhouse had 1710 cubic inches, 24 exhaust pipes and put out over 3000 hp!
More Ford Bronco Fire Truck Photos
Last month, we posted some photos of an early Ford Bronco bush fire truck. I also posted new message on the Classic Broncos.com message board asking for more information or photos of other Bronco fire trucks. Proving why it is one of the best Ford Bronco forums on the internet, some unique photos were posted.
International Scout Camper?
In response to our recent articles about Ford Broncos with Four Wheel Camper poptop campers, an International Scout owner posted some questions on Expedition Portal about the Scout he recently purchased with a camper. Of course, it was not long before another member posted some great detail photos of his Scout Camper.
Condor Off Road Race Motorhome?
Off Road Action reader Rod Hafner sent us this great photo of the Condor off road racing motorhome. He took the photo in the 1969 or 1970 Mint 400.
