I likey the tube around the fenders, super clean.

What size tub it is and are you gonna tie in the centre of the fender for support to the frame?

Well, those guys got a late start, they had to fix a leaky front output seal on the t-case,(i went and Ran Green Day with some other Friends). They went up poison spider and ran all the way to the Crack, and Instead of continuing out the north way, they came back.. (this is their first time on that trail and did not know better).. They Broke the Rear Drive shaft when they gave it too much Go Juice. Then met up with some Stock/Barley Running Rigs on the trail and continued on Winching and tugging in front wheel drive.

I got a call at around 7pm and did not realize they where going the wrong way.
Day Turned to night and They Lost the Trail, (Just about impossible to see the Trail Markers and Rubber marks on this section of the trail), Got another Call at around 10, and i Rally ed up a friend in Her Built YJ to go help find them, We Gassed up and left town at about 12.. Hulled thru Poison Spider, gold bar, and found them Past the Launch Pad at around 1:30. We used GPS to track the path out, and even then it was hard to find the trail on the way back. we got back to town at around 4AM.. Id like to Apologize if you where woken up by his Diesel, or my PS Belt..

Photos Tonight!
