I am currently 17, Jr. in high school. This is my first vehicle. I got it for what I think is a good deal. clearly needs work, but i'm going to be going to MATC in lehi to become an auto technition. I am still a newb when it comes to cars and will need all the help i can get. I bought it with the hopes my parents would let me tag along in their insurance.... BOY WAS I WRONG!!! so on top of school, I will be in search of a job to pay for my own insurance. ( oh well, cant be unemployed forever )

this is how it sits now.

Been a rough few days.... But it's been worth it! Sas is almost done! Just needs a bunch of odds and ends finished.

Sas has been done for a few weeks. Been out every weekend since I got it finished. I love how it turned out! Works amazing other than my driveline rubs on my gas tank skid when flexing. But I plan on running a fuel cell in the back anyways. Made Wayne's world which made me super happy!!!



I'm surprised with how well the solid axle handles (better than the ifs with no sway at and no front shocks)

Picked up a set of dual cases that I thought was a good idea at the time, but it kind of backfired on me a little. I bought the dual cases for $500 and I've decided to go 23 spline throughout both cases and run 4.7's in the rear case. So that's my next upgrade when I can afford it.

hoping to have dual cases with a semi flat belly and fuel cell in the bed before next competition season.

Oh and I just love this rain being doorless and missing a sunroof...

Yea I work at lowrange. And it's alright Rick. My sunroof was a clamp in style sunroof and I still have it. It's just my roof is all bent up from the forklift at oldschool

I don't work on Saturdays. Thanks! It's getting there! I think dual cases are next but it might be a while cause in looking at moving out soon

Unfortunately I have not been keeping this thread updated.... But it's gotten a lot done to it. As of right now it has the SAS, rcv's in front, dual cases, more roll cage, new bumper, longer rear leafs, and I'm sure I'm missing a lot... But my first competition of the season in this weekend!!!! I'm so stoked!!!!
