Can't wait to see the action shots!  Well, that is a bit of a lie. Obviously I will have to wait but I'm still looking forward to it.

man I am itching to get there, but worried about breaking something 

But hey..........thats why we build them right.

I will be taking my welder just in case..... lets hope someone has a generator LOL !!

Heading out in the morning.

Just bring some welding rod and some heavy duty jumper cables.  What more do you really need? 

which reminds me - what rods do you recommend on-trail?

Headed out in the morning:

Giving the shout out for thanks and support:

1st- I want to thank my best friend "My Wife" without her support, encouragement and understanding I don't know what I would have done.

2nd- props goes out to Sean LOW RANGE OFFROAD in my honest opinion the best person in the bussiness for aftermarket parts and loads of tech support.............Thanks Sean Buddy !!

3rd- Big THANKS goes out to Ben (aka:zukitough) without him helping me with the bodywork... I am sure I would not have been able to make this event.

4th- Thanks to john (aka: jacks11) for the donor tin top body....couldn't have done it without ya my friend.

Last, but not least..........all of my buds for the moral support and listening to me when I needed it the most.


All in all this has been one of the best moments of my life. It has been an honor to build such a rig .........and for it to be built in honor of a True Friend in deed !! !!

For you Art...........miss ya buddy !!

Dave

Hey, I been followin this build,  glad to see you're on the home stretch.  I didn't join the forum till after Art left us so I never had the honor of meeting him,  but I read alot of his posts.  He'll live on in your rig so keep it rollin,  he'll always be there spottin ya!

Do you have any pics of the complete rig as it stands now? I think this is a radical undertaking...props to you for gettin' er done!

Finally !!

Shake down run ............ went great !!

Man Zuwharrie '09 was a blast. Man I love these events. Meeting the family (kinda - sorta) 

Can't tell ya how many rigs were there, but there wasn't room anywhere at camp to pitch a tent.

only thing I need to change are the upper shock mounts (to short) ....... I need to move them up about 2 or 3 inches.

all in all...............I LOVE THIS RIG !! !! !!


here is a link to some pics:
