Default My black SW2 arrived today. Updated 7-30

I got my black SW2 in the mail today. I am looking forward to building up a rig to have fun with in Moab. All my parts should be arriving this week and I will be building it this weekend.

I would like to thank Unimoger for some of the parts and advice. 90Degrees thank you for the Pede tranny.

I think I shall call it the Black Pearl. I am going to go with a complete black on black motif.

Don't powder coat the chassis, unless you cover all the holes first. The powder coat builds up. If you don't mask the holes somehow, the M3 hardware may not pass through the frame anymore. You'd probably have to drill them all out after.

Not really. I think there have been many others that have used that theme as well.

Why would want to be a part of the SoCal group?

Glad to see your finally starting on the "black pearl necklace".

Hey jizzo only 5 weeks, 6 days, and 23 hours left to go. Make sure your wife gets a tetanus shot. I'm sure your load will be rusty by then!

I imagine there will be quite a few blacked out rigs at the Nats.
