Sgt Grit,

I just had pinstripes painted and some airbrush work done on my truck that I thought you might enjoy. Tom the owner of Bonehead Designs in New Hampshire did an outstanding job on both the bloodstripes and Emblem. Plus I have had plenty of compliments on the decal on my rear window and hitch cover that I purchased from your catalog. read more

From the Toys for Tots Motorcycle Run

The first thing I thought when I woke up this morning, hearing the raindrops outside my window, how nice the weather permitted the Toys for Tots Motorcycle Run

In Collin County yesterday!

For the second year, David and Hans worked hard with Ron, Jerry and Mike to make this a successful event. From the attached pictures you will see they accomplished their mission. One Marine soon to be heading back home with his family permenantly, will take tips from these guys to get one started in his hometown located in Arizona. Participation had doubled from the first year; from these rides I see many onlookers thinking, ?I got to get a bike?. And the passengers now want to get their very own bike. Sells are up, I am sure, after each of these rides! Each sponsor will be happy to participate again next year I am sure. read more

Marine Jeep

I bought this 1977 CJ-5 5 years ago. A friend and I were in the Army/Navy store trying on wool clothing when as we went to leave and hadn?t purchased anything it occurred to me that we should. Beside the cash register was a rack with sticker bullet holes 6 for $1.49. Bingo I grabbed them and out we went. He asked what I was going to do with them and I told him the jeep had a crinkled fender and these would be way cheaper and easier than fixing it. About a week later we invaded Iraq. read more
