Just dropping in to say that you've created an awesome rig, and I am extremely jealous of both your fab skills and creativity. Looking forward to any future projects, as well as more pictures of this one!

Well I cruised around Hollister for three days.Up the Jungle trail and all over the place and it never got past 180
I will still bring my flex fan along for the Dusy trip just in case
We could try to get my wife and yours to chat...
Note damage to door/fender (nobody snapped a pic of it on it's side!):
Note that it's her wheeler, not mine!
Back on topic, I must say that everytime I look at this thread it makes me want to copy you! One of these days I will find a 55 when I have some spare cash...

Thanks alot
Being creative and just building cool stuff for a wheeler is a blast.I have a vintage race car project that I have owned since 92 that is on eternal back burner status due to wheelin rigs over the years So it comes down to Laguna Seca and Willow Springs,or Coyote Lake and the Rubicon 
Maybe what it really comes down to is where I can drink beer
That could be it
The one pic so far from last weekend.Bump stops and getting the cage tied into the frame out at the front of the frame rails are the next projects

I was lucky enough to ride with Chris at Hollister in the 55 and I can say one thing. That thing freakin gets it through the ruff stuff.

You call almost injuring you,your buddy,and Esteban three or four times in about 30 minutes for the sake of a poker run lucky
One of the things I love about the 55 is having three victims along for the ride.Ask some of Debbies kids.Once yor in,your in.No bailin out when it all goes to sh*t

Made a run into Coyote Saturday morning with a few folks From 4X4Him.My wife and I and another couple that rode with us camped but all the other guys just came in just for the day.That bag on the roof measures 35x35x18.It had enough room for two sleeping bags,two pillows,my big tent,and my wife and I's clothes.Its pretty sweet
This morning,
Partly cloudy to clear and breezy,70s durring the day,60s at night.Low traffic,low dust,and very few mosquitos .

I will be there and my wagon "should" be there too. I'm hoping to have it up and running in the next 2 weeks. Hopefully get a couple of shakedown runs in and then I'll be set.
