So cool to see this coming back to life.

Mostly trimmed out. Still a ways to go but nothing too serious





Not even a real red Solo cup. Off brand

Looks awesome Mark. Ready just in time for the memorial run.

I’d drive it. That might not be a compliment though

 

[Thursty]

That looks awesome! Nice work!

Unfortunately no Sand Hollow with this rear suspension. I need some upper arm tube, rod ends, 2 more Summit 1.25 ends, a truss and a different 14 bolt (disc brakes) with 5.13 gears and regear the front to match. Install new 350. THEN it's ready for Sand Hollow.

Likely for 2025? Sand Hollow and I are not good friends in this Jeep. I've killed at least 2 D300 down there. Flopped once (maybe twice?). Had an epic trail repair with you a few years ago.

I'm a little gun shy.

How are the vroom noises going with your buggy?

I think you’ll be much happier with your Jeep thing once you get that rear axle controlled. I can’t remember if you have a front limit strap or not, but I definitely recommend that or a suck-down winch option on the front axle. I saw a ton of people at Trail Hero who could have greatly benefited from an option like that. I use mine often in Sand Hollow.

It's loaded up. Kind of fun to do this again
