Great thread Tom (and others)... there isn't a ton of good Helder Pack Mule threads out there, searching for
1988-packmule-expedition-conversion gets you another good one.
Posting my pics here, just to add to the knowledge base of the Helder... I haven't built it up the way I want to yet, but I had to jump on the opportunity to buy it a few years back... $800 is what I paid and it has a couple options not found on many Helders..
1992 Helder Pack Mule
- Bought from I believe 2nd owner in Northern California
- I feel like this is visually slightly longer/wider than some of the older models, but do not have actual measurements handy.
- Jerry Can holders on each side
- Locking axe, shovel and hi lift jack mounts in the front (a cable lock can be run through the tool hold downs)
- Hinged, Locking Top
- Roof Rack (unsure if this was factory Helder)
- Leaf Spring suspension
- Tongue Platform (I do not believe this was factory)
- Does not have original jack, but does have original jack mount
- Tie Down spring/hooks on sides/front (unsure if this was factory Helder)
