That's very kind, thanks. I try to make 'em look nice, but not so nice that I'm scared to drive 'em.

I've been wheeling the Yeti a bunch lately. Out on the trails I really wish Axial had used a different front end so the whole rig could be regular AR60 width. Oh, well. It's still fun. Here are a couple of photos!

I haven't done much high speed runnin' with the Purple Yeti lately, but warmer weather will be coming soon. Best to take some preventative measures. I made some sleeves and added some grade 12.9 hinge pins from CFM.

Can't wait to test it out.

Great looking Yeti! Just wondering where you purchased your steel tube from for the pin sleeves?

Thanks! I ordered the steel tube from Amazon. Someone else posted a link (I forget who or I'd give 'em credit).

The Purple Yeti has been running the same shoes from the get-go. For a guy that's addicted to wheels and tires, that could only last so long. So I decided to see what I could make with these...

I can't wait to see those wheels installed. I'd have my eye on the golden chromate.

I've been trailing this rig a bit lately. Here are some photos to prove it!

Brought the boys and the purple Yeti to my favorite bashy bash spot. It was awesome. Some stuff broke.

I have the same wheel/tire combo on my Yeti only my wheels are in natural aluminium finish. I did opt for their wheel wideners.

A while back I get the Yeti fixed up (and beefed up!). I'm happy to have it back in action.
