| Another Winter Day in Kansas
I found another decent place to wheel just down the street from my house. It has rocks of all sizes, a little water and some dirt. *DISCLAIMER: NONE OF THESE PHOTOS ARE 'POSER' SHOTS, THE TRUCK WAS DRIVEN INTO EVERY PHOTO LOCATION* Last edited by 04Xterra; 01-26-2009 at 09:18 AM. |

Great looking truck and a really nice spot to play . You're lucky, everything here is buried in snow. It'll be months before I see any rocks. That rig has come along way since I first saw it, very nice! T.D. (Spinout180) |

Thanks guys!! TrailDawg - I can thank Mitch and in some part you (because you helped Mitch get hooked) for getting me addicted to this crawling/trail riding thing. I honestly didn't think I would have so much fun going slow but it is a blast looking at a group of rocks and thinking "Hmmm, can I get over those?". I just need it to warm up a bit. |

| The layout is a bit nasty looking as I am still in the mock up/shake down stages of the build. |

Welcome to the addiction . The MFM chassis is very versatile, no doubt you found that out (so many holes/options for mounting). I used the Axial battery plate laid cross-wise on the rails for my packs, works great. It got the CG a little lower. As for Mitch, haven't seen him in a while. I know he runs his crawler at Casper's, but I haven't made it there yet. I'm looking forward to some trail runs with him and Jason from HTO. Keep doing what you're doing, and have fun! T.D. |

Still one of the nicest WK's I've seen in awhile. If you ever make it up this way, we need to hit some trails. Hopefully I can get some people together this summer for some informal fun-runs, I think it'd be a blast! T.D. |

My wife and I, with the new baby, may be up there in late June/early July. Mitch is working on getting a trail rig together. I'll be sure to bring the WK with if we make it up that way.
