Running a few errands today and Mountain convinced me to follow the road less traveled. One day she will be as beautiful as the western North Carolina mountains she roams.

Re: Mountain Patrol
She is solid. I probably wouldn't even paint her if she was a single color. I really like that Patina and there is almost no metal work forcing me to address the body.ratpatrol66 wrote:Looks like you have a really good Patrol to start with.

Yep. I can imagine her as a farmer's work vehicle years ago when this was all grazing land.Johnny Roadkill wrote:Thanks for the pics - love seeing a Patrol in its natural habitat

Re: Mountain Patrol
Great pictures. Good to see you out in the Patrol finally. You put a lot of work into it.
Dogs love trucks.

Re: Mountain Patrol
I'm not sure my dog knows what to make of it yet. It is more than a bit louder and quite a bit rougher ride than he is used to.

That's called personality.
I'm sure that extra leaf spring stiffened up the ride. the Patrol suspension typically provides a pretty nice ride, when it's all up to snuff.
