I'll see if I can't get some pictures of doing donuts. It won't be hard. The nice thing about the power/torque bands of the turbo diesel is that if I just let the clutch out it will crawl, and I don't have to worry at all about it spinning the tires. If I give it some fuel before the clutch comes out (and let the turbo spool up) it can break the tires free on dry pavement.

Appreciate the compliments on the bumper. I'm really liking it. As it sits now, it's 12 lbs under the SmittyBuilt tube bumper that was there, and it MUCH stronger. Also, it looks better and has recovery points. And the LED brake lights are incredibly bright. I like people to know when I stop.

Don't remember if I posted this picture already (I probably did), but here it is spinning the back wheels just a bit. Also, it might just be the best IFS wheeling picture ever. That's the most articulation I've seen from the IFS. It's still getting cut off in favor of SAS soon.
