New Toy
« on: March 12, 2011, 10:05:50 PM »
Well, I went ahead and did it. I've been Jeeping since I was 14, longer if you count the rides in my dads Jeeps. I've owned military and civilian Jeeps.  I've always talked about putting a machine gun and mount on my Jeeps, but money was always the deal breaker. Costs too damn much....

I'm turning 50 next month, and instead of dying my hair, buying a Porsche, leaving my wife of 20 years and going out to find the twin of Megan Fox, I decided to get a 1919a4 and pedestal mount for my 3A.

Does it belong ?  Of course not. But since I decided to do mine up as an M38 clone, I figured whatdehell.

When I called my friend that I've known since I was 7 and told him, the only thing he said was, "FINALLY !!"

That is awesome, the guy down the street wants me to do that with my jeep. I told him that he must have watched a few to many episodes of "Rat Pack"

Looking forward to seeing this one!

Its a jeep thing, but you would understand if you have ever lost your wallet.

Pretty sure you mean Rat Patrol.  Naturally I have both seasons on DVD and have watched them repeatedly, even if they are inaccurate as all get-out....

In fact, I joked around that I'm re-doing my 3A "ala Rat Patrol" on many an occasion !   :)

You can't be young and remember Rat Patrol.  My wife and I were just talking about it the other day.  Jim

Ohhhh jeez yeah I meant rat patrol!!! Haha two very different things, the rat patrol and rat pack. It does give a funny visual of Dean Martin driving a jeep and singing show tunes....

This is my Jeep with the temp mount to test fire my sons M1919 before it gets Parkerized. It's a semi auto .308 He bought a tripod mount at the Knob Creek machine gun shoot this spring and I may built a Jeep mount for it also.

It's at the shop to be Parkerized now. The shop owner is buying a new tank so he can get a good color on it. Richard wants it to be a dark Parkerized color like the original M1919.

When he gets it back I'll take a photo with it on the tripod.
