It is a good thing the Willy Mammoth is yellow so it can quickly be converted to the Willy Banana when it bends in the middle

I really like the new look!

When are you coming to Washington State to work on my truck?

The name can change to "The Willy Bananamammoth"

$I\'m Down$

Boy did I pick the wrong time to order parts from Marlin. I was expecting to get them today, but they haven't even been shipped yet.

I even paid for 3rd day to make sure they got here in less than 7 days. I was out there looking a a T case to see if there was somthing I could do to put something together, but that could take weeks and I have better things to do with my time.

I wonder if some of the othe Marlin retailers have the Mco7 in stock?

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #1057 on:** Nov 02, 2005, 05:28:00 PM »

No word on that, they are moving this week and there is a lot to do. I am not sure when I will see it.

Call Dave Wong @ Dave's Offroad Outlet in Sonora, CA (209) 588-1880
He might have one in stock, or he can just pull the one off of his 4runner for ya!

For a small fee I'll ship you my crawlers with the MC08-R10

Isn't it common to refer to vehicles as "she"? With all of the talk on this thread about "willy's" maybe there needs to be a thread called, "The making of the Mammoth's Willy."

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #1065 on:** Nov 04, 2005, 09:10:33 AM »

oh believe me Mark plans for the willymammoth to have a mammoth willy pto out back, hey it will come in handy in the swaps, just stick the prop on and yehaaa

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #1066 on:** Nov 05, 2005, 01:05:56 PM »

I have been bustin it all day and this is where I am so far.

I have the body panels welded in and part of the floor. I also started welding in the reinforcements for the side panels.

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #1067 on:** Nov 05, 2005, 01:14:29 PM »

We decided we liked the looks of the cage with the rear hoop removed, so I cut the back of the cage off.

I plan to make it bolt in place so it can be removed for things like parades.

I am trying to get it done for next Saturdays Veterans Day parade.

We are going to be in it with The Orlando Jeep Club and they are going to see about having some Veterans ride along.

So there realy isn't time to be sittin here. I gota have it painted this weekend.

Lady Di · « **Reply #1068 on:** Nov 05, 2005, 01:18:27 PM »

did he say Jeep Club? Or was that a typo?

Hopefully nosey neighbor nosey will be back by then and can ride along as well. I'll be getting pictures and video with MrsNosey if that is the case.

That is really starting to shape up there, and it does look better without the rear section of the rollbar. Making it removabe is a great idea when you take those camping trips and need the top storage rack.

Now get back out there and finish it up for those vets to ride in.

I was talking to Janet (OJC member w/green TJ) today she said she has spoken to you on thier board. This is how it starts, the next thing you know, you have one of those "jeep thing you would'nt understand" stickas on the mammoth.

Just messin' they have a few good guys over there. I may have to crash one there parties one day hehehe

His sticker will be different though: It's a Jeep thing and I figured out how to fix it.

Ok it's got primer on it. In an hour or so I can start sanding it for paint.

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #1077 on:** Nov 06, 2005, 08:52:59 AM »

OK you deserve a break now, go ahead have some lunch, drink a beer or 2, but we want you back out there in an hour

Looks great, you won't even be able to tell you stretched it, well except that it is longer than a limo now.

BUBBA · « **Reply #1078 on:** Nov 06, 2005, 09:02:25 AM »

the unlimited willy is looking good.Get her painted and get it outside so we can see a full shot of the new look.

what are you using to paint it like spary paint?

it looks good i think you found a good happy medium for lengthening it the extra storage should be great
