Default Shots from today.

Took the King Bling crawler out for a shakedown run.

Not too bad. Suspension could use some improvement, but nothing major

I'm going to use new wheels with less offset to narrow the track width a bit and plan to relocate the RX and RX pack.

Pics...

I saw this rig in person at the WE Rock comp.

Very nicely built, just like one of the 1:1's, he has it sitting on the hood of the 1:1 actually, and I took a pic of it.

The WK axles are very wide, I was shocked.

Glad to see it went to good hands tho, how much did you spend?

200+ people looked at it before me.

Scooter is selling his F350 tuber...

He wanted me to give him my FJ40 as a roller, the FJ Cruiser (also as a roller), and $600.

You can get that one.

I'd be wanting to take the thing on the rocks and the soldered brass frame/cage would crumble.

Guess I need to stop looking at your post. I'm getting homesick for Points West. The cool pics of the lake and the sunsets makes me want to live in one of the cabins there full time. Going crazy waiting for the next comp. Nice swishhhh/hhhhsiws/swishhhh

Due to all the rain the lake is now up to 328.1.

Still plenty of exposed rock to play on.

75 degrees is under water, 1/2 of Escalator is as well.

Same here, so I've decided to keep the FJ.

If Scooter's rig was made from brake tubing and steel it'd be a wheeler.

The bumpers on the FJ were made from brass and soldered together.

I have crushed the front bumper and ripped the rear completely off.

The shock towers are bent, as are the front leafs.

If I wasn't so gentle with my rigs...

Video from today is rendering now - when it's done I'll upload it to YouTube.

While it was here in Vegas I rubbed it on my pee pee because I knew it was going to you.

Pucker up buttercup.
