Overall first trip experience....

I am in love with my new rig... It is SUPER stable and easy to drive and will go just about anywhere you point it.

The Irok's are GREAT! I wondered how I'd like them, but anything from sand to rocks, they just GRIP!

For being as big as it is, it is surprisingly easy to manuver the tight woods trails... Especially with both outer mirrors...  ;D

I got into a NASTY tight spot off of the creek trail and needed help getting out of it... There was a water hole between two trees... I knew I could fit between them, but I didn't know that the water hole was about 40" deep... My left front tire slipped into the hole and slid me over... so, I was sitting at a angle with a tree between both of my passenger's side tires. I couldn't back up and I couldn't go forward, more than a couple feet. We ended up hooking the winch rope up in a tree, picking the front end up.. out of the hole and pulling on the right rear corner to get me back around the tree... It was GREAT! I had a huge adrenaling rush and the winch/ synthetic rope worked FLAWLESSLY. Thanks to Jackie, panzer, Pappy, and whoever else helped get me out.  ;D

I also got a little surprise from Sean Devinney...

Here is the very first (#00001) fuel tank skidplate for the '99-'04 4-door trackers...

I will be doing a full installation writeup and trail test as soon as I get everything unpacked and get back into my "normal" schedule.  ;D

WoW!!!  What a moment of celebration...  That thing turned out awsome. 

36's on a 4-dr and it works, not just works but works well and is quite capable.   


 Just about brings a tear to my eye... 


I like the leaves and I like the lower COG.  Jims ride looks great too and I am a big fan of Jim's work  BUT ever since my last Melt trip with SPOA YJ's and a 3" body I've been a big fan of a L O W E R   C O G !!!

 Again Nice work....    I'm glad to see it all come together.

Yes, it's a pretty good feeling to have built something that works soo good.  [approve]
Thank you Mike.... Actually, they are 37's...  ;D

I definately like the lower COG... I would rather cut the fenders and keep it low than have it 10 feet in the air.

Thanks guys! I finally got to take it out on the road/ highway yesterday. It drives GREAT!
The gearing is a bit stiff though (or the muffler is a little bit too loud... lol)
 It will do 55-60 with ease at about 3000 RPM (55) and 3250 RPM (60). The speedometer is 15mph fast.
