Already knew what it was so opened it early - though had to make a deal with the devil (wife) - lol. Made an obstacle course while she was at work today - check out a few pics of the newest wheeling addition to the family:

A little flex


Sitting atop a 50lb dumb bell for size comparison


Chose the wrong line here - lol:


Last one - need to triangulate rear suspension to get some more flex.

Here's the new paint job - next step now is to move the shocks inwards, and cut away some of the limiting parts for the suspension

New day New adventure:

I got another set of tires and cut the treads for more traction - played around the house for a little bit and then got some idea in what left of a brain to go find some better wheelin spots. Well low and behold the new church a few blocks away put in a drainage pond / ditch with some nice 3-6" rock for land scaping. Figured it couldn't hurt nothing to go try it out. Should have figured that when the ground was sinking in with my weight to leave this stuff alone. Well lets just say I am fairly surprised at how capable these little rigs are - here are a few pics from the day

At home



Now at the church - so far not bad, and it climbs muddy hillside too.


Rhuh rho - mud is starting to get deep, and the electric motors are in the axles



The back tires were completely submerged, but I couldn't take pics and wheel at the same time. Sure the hell didn't want to go back just for a cool photo either - lol.


Whew - got outta the gooey stuff, but now the freaking tires are caked with mud and have no traction to get out



Man Down, Man Down


And to top things off - finally getting close to the top and these stupid weeds and grass started hitchen a ride.



Finally back to the the truck - time to call it quites for the day and go clean it off

That is awesome!!! Looks like the real thing!

[gooch]

takes a beating huh good pictures!!

Okay these are the last ones for awhile - started snowing again. Went out by the mudhole one last time but resisted the urge to go in the mud and just played on the rocks






Ended the day by doing a double rollover down a rock ditch and loosing a shock once it stopped. Nothing major - waiting for the prices to come down around here so I can buy some more.
