White and powder coat yes. They've been done for a couple years now

 

[gertsch]

had to buy some new shafts so I could setup my explorer disc brakes. Since my housing uses the ford torino big bearing cups. It was the easiest swap.

 

[gertsch]

got my rear shocks figured out and mounted. Shooting to have it done enough to take to ejs. But we shall see.

Well. It runs, drives, and is liscensed and insured. Been working out the kinks with the suspension and all the other things I still have to do.

 

[Bart]

Congrats and that's huge. Looking forward to seeing it out on the trails.

 

[gertsch]

Cool. I'll hopefully be able to get it out more and more and I get it more complete.

 

[Bart]

Looks great and like it's working well.

Things have been slow going lately. Lots of other projects that have been put off been demanding my attention.

 

[gertsch]

Built me some rocker protection. Should get them on this week hopefully.

 

[gertsch]

Took it out for a bit of a shakedown run a couple weekends ago. It did pretty good. Need to hook up the electrical for the front locker. Then I think itll climb almost anything maybe.

 

[Bart]

Glad to see it out on the trails. Rocker protection is goooooood.

 

[Brad J]

Looks great. Makes me miss mine
