Builds fj55 build, colorado style (1 Viewer)

[Isotel]

No, its not the yellow one, (they build that one too), but its the Red one "Rock Ware".. i cant seem to find any photos of it

The RockWare Rig is not "his rig", Ben just works for them, and helps as a chase/Pit Crew at races, he has build most every piece of the pig over the past couple of months on weekends on a Limited Budget. Ben has Built, and Races a Truck in the Colorado Hill Climb association, so although he is young he has alot of experience building and driving..

Yes, Linked Suspensions Suck when the break! we saw a retired comp buggy Break Everything on hes rear axle just like the photo above (3-link, upper link mount broke) on the Exit on the Patriot Trail, It took a lot or ratchet straps and thinking to get him off the trail. the next rig was a Yota on 37's and leaf springs, and he walked right up the same line, did not slip a tire!! This is one of the Reasons i have Kept Leafs on My Rig

and remember the is a Friendly Gesture..

BTW i am sitting in an office chair while i Spew my Web wheeler opinion all over the place

Cage is almost done. Motor is back from the machine shop, Justin Assembled it and we Dropped the driveline back in it, Made some motor mounts, and did some Extra Plating to some of the areas that may have been week..

the front suspension needs lower shock tabs, and a Panhard Bar to be complete, then the majority of the Fab work is done, and we can focus on getting all the wires and bolts back in the right place.

no time for photos,

Oh, and i got some Time on Rusty Mustard, cage is almost done.

Too bad they didn't build a couple, I know at least one local that would have bought one.

Looking good Ben!

love the heat marks on the headliner

that headliner was Perfect before the pig was torn apart.. It sat for a year while ben was at school and the frame was being repaired, Field Mice decided to live up there for a bit, so it already had a bunch of holes before the cage went it

 

[Front Range 4x4]

Looks more like something done by a field mouse named Jeff

Glad the field mouse didn't do that to mine.

 

[Isotel]

Loaded the Rigs on the Trailer tonight, Justin Ben and Jeff are headed to CM in the morning, I will be there Tuesday!
