Well yesterday, I took it out to little moab for a trial run. It was a little muddy and wet, but it cleared up enough to be a decent run. I had spent about 10 hours saturday just wrapping up some things like protecting and routing hoses, wires, etc and installing a rear suck down winch. Everything went really well, no problems except I bent the tabs/bolts for my front winch fairlead when I sucked it down really far once, and I lost the little shackle I had on the front axle for the winch cable. Other then that everything went great.
LOTS of POWER!!! I never bothered to air down the tires so they were still really inflated at about 25-30 psi. It went up everything I tried. I could smoke the tires pretty easily which was needed at the bigger waterfalls at the left side when you come in. Body roll seemed non existant, though I"m sure a rear sway bar would be nice for later. The stak 3 spd, is a little stiff but the 3x1 and 5x1 worked great. Need to get some limiting straps and finish wrapping the exhaust, plus skins. Oh yeah, I took my girlfriend out for the her first buggy expirience also, which went pretty well, but they really have no idea. So off to a good start on both accounts
