George, that's terrible news.

That's a fine vehicle and it doesn't deserve this misery.

Hopefully you can find the time and the parts to restore it properly.

My condolonces.

Man, I sure hate to see that.

That was, by far, the most unique vehicle on here.

I hope you can get it back together.

I hope you get your Mog fixed. I always wondered what the instrument panel looked like in a Mog. That thing is cool, it looks like the instrument panel in a airplane.

That particular instrament panel is very rare. Very beefed up in the gauge catagory.

They look larger than they really are. That 404 is tall but still about same length as a fullsize pickup. The box on that thing is only 10ft long and less than 5ft high. NOT measured from the ground. Their is nearly 20 inches from the lowest point on the rig (bottom of pumpkin) to the ground.

Someone up there loves your Mog and wants you to truly appreciate this rare piece of engineering, now its time for you to commit and take good care of it, think of it as your child you never had.
