As Kevin mentioned, we checked fluids and Mogzilla fired right up. Minor problems like an air regulator was not working so we re-ran an air line so i can have brakes. (they are air assist) I will be working on it this weekend fo sho. there is plenty to do to start getting it ready for DD use. But the importing paperwork turned out to be a breeze. It seems the customs broker i hooked up with is a military vehicle buff, he knew how to get it past customs, with no questions. I will post up more pics later....

And what is that tripod contraption on the stern? If your going to tow a ski boat, keep it, otherwise it's a saws all quicky to gain clearances and if you get rear ended, they can deal with the huge tires! NICE!

I would say, in most states, That will have to stay on their to serve as a bumper to be legal as a D.D. ...like an I.C.C. bar on a semi trailer.

I dont think the mog will be jumping anything, except very slow Prius's. LOL I do have a short list of MUST Do before pismo and a longer list for after pismo... I need to R&R shocks, remove & rework throttle linkage.I top out at 45mph right now. Battery box needs to be redone. Tires should be here tuesday, that will be fun finding someone to mount them...
: ) The sound proofing will also need to get done... I will probably go meet a few Mog owners this sunday in Irwindale to check out a few others. I need to see a few that are done the correct way to guide me. My only basis for comparison is my mog. There are a few things i need to have pointed out to me... I still have not had a chance to get it on dirt yet....i hope to try it somewhere b4 pismo..... Wish me ruck...
