    That is soooooo cool. 😎



    I believe Fordicon V 2.0 will be done at a little faster pace.



    Now that is a birthday present.

    Looks good but looks like some new tires may be in order.

    I'm guessing Rob has some 40" MT/R's going on to replace those worn out Krawlers! 😁

    Thanks for all the comments. Those red label crawlers are still good for another year or two. I could take them off right now and sell them for about $200 each. Competitive drivers will tell you that red label crawlers aren't all that good until they are between 1/2 tread and bald because that is when they become really sticky. I walked up stuff today with those tires that I would have never tried in my Jeep. I will buy another set of red labels this October to run next year though. They are pricy at $500.00 each. My 40 inch MTR’s will go on another set of beadlocks and I will run them as snow tires only.



    I will give A ticket rides to anyone who wants to see what a 575 horse power motor can do in a rock crawler 😏 I guarentee you I can lock you to the back of your seat for few seconds when I punch it 😀 😀 😀

    John came over and checked out the new buggy today. What did you think of it? It's just a little motor, not much bigger than a Jeep 4.0 😂

    Unfortunately I had to back out at the last minute (killing me). I drove to the gas station to fill up this morning and the Jeep was making all kinds of nasty noises. I crawled under to find a broken rear control arm bolt, bent raer control arm bracket, a bent front control arm, front springs rubbing on the perches and control arm bracket, and the heims in my panhard bar are bent to crap so I can't adjust it. Definitely could not drive it on the road and it's going to need a rebuild.

    Last time I saw John's rig was at Thursday's meeting. Must have been doing some serious mall crawling.
