I wish one of those would show up around here. They are so neat. Bummer is we sould the 79 I would want ot put it on.

I'm hoping to get out His way in a year or two and check them out in person. If I can get a Mog camper together then we can get up to the high country.

Jeff that Chalet is awesome. It looks like it just stepped off of the pages of a brochure. What a unique piece. If I ever had another 4wd truck, that would be on top of my wish list. The top picture is awesome too...

Not really. They are fiberglass, and the majority of the weight is down low in the bed.

Thanx jeff for posting those pics for me.

The top one was just outside of Ouray up in the mountains..around poughkeepsie gulch...awesome scenery....then i had to go and screw it up the next day and run black bear pass in the 79...dooable in a fullsize if you have nerves of steel...apparantly i don't....lol. Nice view of telluride....until you figure out that all the switch backs that are actually couple thousand foot drop offs....anyways nice view.

The chalet pics are as follows...top up...Whiplash offroad racing series...snowflake az. race...used to volunteer my time on weekends and run a checkpoint out of the chalet...next is a all clean shot at my buds house....and the bottom picy is of a rarer (if thats possable) 76 GMC Jimmy Casa Grande less drivetrain for sale some 60 miles up the road...at last chat price was at $1500. Hopin to put a grand in cash in my pocket this summer with o/t and see if the owner will bite...lol.
