You may have noticed in Moab that Liz is a little shorter than I am...I'm going to have to come up with some sort of ladder!

Why not have it pretty and capable? Just because it's a trail rig, doesn't mean it has to look like junk.

because i dont have the money to make it pretty...only to make it work...
would you rather wheel with a pretty rig that broke down all the time or the ugly one that does work...

can back from winterfest with a few wounds
bend 4140 chromoly (sp?) control arm, bent and twisted rear driveshaft, and dented and leaking from diff cover.
got rear driveshaft retubed for 70 bucks, heated up the chromo and beat it back semi straight, and purchased a new greatlakesoffroad front diff cover.
also picked up a newtome cutting brake...to be installed soon

too much to get through to go through the firewall that why we went around...
if you talking about the bend to go into the cab to the a pillar, its held up so far. plus there is gussets and extra bars down below that helps support everything as well.

Its still hanging on! I even raced it in the TREC race last fall and winter at the badlands and didn't break the "frame".
Its still holding to together, just made winterfest at the Badlands with it in March, not sure when the next trip is for it.

I'm damn impressed... dunno why people think it looks thrown together, maybe I just throw things together even worse :roflmao:
I personally would expect those lower tubes to break right off the ends of the plated frame rail horns but I guess I'm wrong since they haven't done so yet :dunno:
