Hola Frank,

A good friend of mine is restoring a very rare 411 LWB in the Philippines. It was sitting on his family's farm for years. Thought you might enjoy the photos of this cute and rare mog.

Howy Steven,
I think this friend of yours posted some questions on the Mog mailing list a while back or there is a parallel universe

Are those your pics or his?¿ If they are his could he e-mail the Mog list and give the url so they can see them. Thanx.

Frank,

A parallel universe indeed!

He was texting me from the Philippines via cellphone as he towed it from the mountains to the city. Just thought you would enjoy the photos of his rare mog. I can't wait till that little mog is up and running again. It's too cute for words!

Regards

Steven

Oooo! Thanx for the link Frank!

I can't get over how compact the 411 actually is.
Toylike compared to the heavy mogs, but equally capable.

Howdy Steven,
All the "Mini Mogs" because of their short wheelbase have stability problems in certain off-road conditions where the big Mogs just move on through. Also the Mini's are a little slower on the road. They are trailered almost everywhere. Here is a website showing a 411 taking a shot at the Rubicon. When you are on the home page look for the Rubicon trip report. If you have any questions just ask and I will try to answer them. Enjoy!¡ www.billcaid.com
