Fazza 200 series with matching RW
 
Finished reediting the footage of 2 weeks ago, this is the best I can do myself really need to start investing in a camera crew and build a actually good action video that I dreamed of from day one, since all I can use now unfortunately is a statioinary tripod and a go pro mount. Anyways its a start.



Enjoy guys. Stay tuned for the upcoming content where I plan to respring and revalve the daily driver LC200 for a cadilac cushy setup. I plan to document the entire process hopefully.

That is bad ass! That 5.7 sounds so good opened up like that. Nice work.

I’d love a version with just the ambient/engine noise. That was great!

Well done I think you did great on the editing. I'm sure you can find some volunteers to help you capture some more angles and footage. I'm with the others I really dig the sounds of that engine growling. Is that the stock exhaust at WOT? Enjoying your build posts and action footage :cheers:
 
Today, I took my uniform off for the last time.

I’m gonna miss my boys. I’m gonna hate not being on the ground with them when the next fight begins. When it gets bad, when the noise become so intense, when blood meets the earth, when men start dying, there is no place I’d rather be. Not because I want to, but because I couldn’t ask any of my men to do something that I wouldn’t do myself. When this country asks us to fight for it, as an Infantry Officer, I knew that I would be putting us a bad place, and the least I could do, was bring them home alive. I failed in that endeavor, I’ve lost some of the finest this country has to offer. Young men who didn’t make much money, who could live in filth, broken, tired, but find humor in it all. It will stay with me till I met them again in Valhalla. As it has been said, “old Soldiers never die, they just fade away.” One memory I’m ready to share, when one of my boys was dying in the sand, he told me to live for him. That has changed what I decide to do with what’s left of my life.

Truth be told, I’m gonna miss the fight. I just can’t stand by, as some do harm to the innocent. I enjoyed bullying the bullies. However... after years of combat, taking the fight right to where the enemy sleeps, but reflecting on what was asked of me. I’m ready to live in peace.

I hope to now have some time to see you guys, do some wheeling, make some new stories. I honestly feel like all my stories revolve around death, gonna try to make some that revolve around living.

I’m not going to take a gun for hire job back overseas, even though I feel that I still have something to accomplish over there. I’m going to join BudBuilt. Bud is wanting to just focus on engineering, and I will be running the more business side of this to free him up to do that.

My goal isn’t to make a ton of money, I have a pension, I’m good. I’m just ready to enjoy what makes me happy, and I hope to help you guys with anything you need that can help you enjoy some happiness when out wheeling. I remember the only thing that made me smile back home, was one time a year for two weeks, taking leave in the summer and traveling by way of my Toyota. If anything broke that hindered my trip, it was pretty significant. That’s what motivates me, to make things that won’t let you down. To make sure that everyone comes back safe. I’m just going to apply that to a different world now. Thanks for listening, I’ll see yeah around.

Much respect @Taco2Cruiser

I know we come from different worlds, but in this we are aligned. I remind my engineering team every day like a broken record. We have it easy that we can do our jobs from the comfort of our offices and homes. Yet it is up each one of us to ensure that the system we engineer does its best to support the soldiers on front lines. An unreliable system that returns to base, that doesn’t do its job to potentially support a life and death situation on the front lines, is an absolute failure on our end. We’ve been given a great opportunity to work on a game changing platform that makes a difference, and we need to put our best foot forward every day. I don’t want to get into specifics but you may be familiar with that grey bird that fly’s overhead.

Best of luck in your future endeavors. I'm sure you'll...kill it. :smokin:

Rob-
Condolences and congratulations, my friend.

Condolences for what you’ve personally lost, both from your own beat up frame, and from your long list of loyal mates. Too many sacrifices to name. Too much for others to ever comprehend without having been there.

-Congratulations on a new start to a new adventure. Not entirely new—but new in the chance to focus on passions that will no longer have to look for the space between fights, healing and deployment.

And—Thank you for being willing to do the work they never show on the news. Even the best news clips or Hollywood’s greatest efforts never quite manage to convey the real stuff that matters after & between victory and loss, life and death.

Glad you made it this this far, brother, and happy to follow the next chapter. Looking forward to meeting you in the dirt and on the rocks—no (as you’ve called it) “trigger pulling” required.

Thank you for the time put forth on our country's behalf. Time that separated you from family, friends, and Toyotas. Congratulations on the retirement AND the pension!
