i traveled to 4 or 5 Stupid-Marts to finally have a huge pay off in Sandy....

10600 S. State!!!!!

found 7 of em.....

i got an orange jeep, and a blue thing....

stripeshirtman(Paul) got the buggy, and the yellow Toyota....

and my buddy Josh got the blue thing, an orange Jeep...

and we hid the last one for whoever wants to go find it!!!!

***there is a yellow Toyota on the lowest shelf of the truck/car toy isle... i think on the west side of the isle, across from the lowrider/homie toys, behind the Recon Combat Unit toy pack....bottom shelf, behind the army pack....

that's the best description i could do...

there was a guy stocking toys there, and i explained to him how extensive 'grown men's' searches are for these things, and that they are almost impossible to find.... they said they'd order alot of em...

happy hunting

Here are a couple of quick pics, check out the rock park you get w/ the two pack!
And what is the best mods, I took off the front springs and put on limiting straps and that works wonders, but would cutting the springs be better? The 3 on the rock park are mine, and the others are Mr. MJ's.

Well here's what I done to the buggy so far:

Siped the tires
cut the rear springs down(works really well)
took off the front springs
added front limiting straps
made the bumper into a stinger
took off the spare
took off the rear bumper

I have too much time on my hands right now.

Flipping the control arms 180 degrees doesn't seem to help, actually seems to worsen the flex?

OK, my camera sucks so no pics...but all you do is rotate the outer arm so they are not interlocking...it spaces the outer arm away fomr the inner and allows it to travel farther without binding.

I've got 3, here is my orange jeep, and what I've done to it so far

Mod's:

made bumpers into stinger
cut 1/4 inch off rear coils
flipped control arms
took off front shocks
limiting straps up front
cut away the webbing stuff from the frame
pulled tires half way off rim
penny beadlocks(4 pennys in each tire)
straw lockers
cut every other lug of tires
cut webbing out from inside of tires

more to come like custom paint ect.
It flexes great, looks like I need to do some fender trimming up front too.
