I got the Beast II from Matt Orton. :bounce::bounce2:Here are the photos:http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/1587764/1/76949508

Happy birthday to me.:)

Just to clarify (since I keep getting pm'd) I did not purchase the front bumper, rear bumper, or winch. You can email Matt at mattheworton@earthlink.net if you're interested in one of those items.
(Is Romer going to move my thread if I don't come up with something techy to add?)

I'll feel comfortable wheeling as soon as I get a new brush guard--from Slee, hopefully. I don't have time to wheel until November anyway, so I should have it by then.

Nice rig! Do you have it in your position?

Monday. We're going to try, however, not to duplicate any of the recent drama between badass and sonoran. ;)

Congrats! I remember you getting into Cruisers after I believe your Range Rover caught fire?

Looks like you got a sweet rig. Now you can actually make it home from your trips/excursions without having to worry about breaking down ;)

I need a lift and some other gear after seeing your rig. Nice truck.

See you in Pismo.
 
Good memory! Here's the last 4 wheel drive vehicle I had when I finished with it. :crybaby:
