Nice U-500. I'll bet it is a real beast.

I understand that the 404's are very good off road. The suspension and frame are both very compliant. My 406 is really a tractor disguised as a truck. It is quite heavy (7500 lbs empty) and the suspension is very stiff - it has to be, the plow weighs 3500 lbs. It would suck on the rocks.

I got this Mog pretty cheap because the cab was really rusty. I learned how to make my own sheet metal repair panels while fixing it - no one manufactures replacement panels.
