Hmm. . .how did I miss this beautiful piece of garage art?

And speaking of art - might have a project you're interested in. . .ok, maybe 2-3 projects. I'll PM you with the details to see if you're interested.

ps - my recent addition:



Shane

I like the new toy Shane. I'm ready for another project(s) when you are.. Let me know.

I still need to inquire but, I believe this is at the W.O.D (Wide Open Design) facility in Tennessee. Looks like he makes the chassis and the resales them. Jimmy Smith is another known bouncer builder that sells his chassis in Illinois. I'm sure there are hundreds of these guys.. Only been looking for a little while now.

Want it designed around a 40/55 or even a 60 front nose.

Reminds me of Robert Duvall's place in Days of Thunder...

When i was younger my buddies and I would climb on top of buildings, just because we were bored. Sometimes we ran into the problem where we couldn't get back down again.
I wonder if you would have the some problem in that.

I was thinking the same thing. Rock Bouncing seems to be a southeast thing. I need to get out and see those guys hit the rocks one of these days.


Has anyone else noticed that this thread is 95% chat now?

Powerblocks Xtreme4x4 is building one on their show right now. It looks like a lot of fun.

JUST FOR JOHNNY!! ... The next few days I will concentrate on finish my Kirk Hammett guitar sliders ( wife named them...) and the roof rack.. Will also continue to focus on my new 40 build ( another thread in another section...), working on some 60 rear inventory and 40 front inventory.

Drinking beer and being chatty as usual..

Cheers

Chattech...
Jason, will your rear bumper with swingout spindle allow one to drop rear tailgate and haul longish items (logs in my case). I presume the spare carrier lifts off vertically, and makes this possible. Scenario being that I head into the forest without a spare to harvest firewood....
Beer is usually 93 to 95% water, so stay hydrated my friends!

Swing arms are 100% removable with the removal of the top lock collars.

Got most of the slider main rails done today... will weld up the rest and get these mounted tomorrow. I may weld some expanded metal the the back step for a better foothold.

[mcguirejohnson]

Those sliders look boulder proof. Nice work!
