This rig is a purpose built, trail proven, expedition vehicle that drove the Rubicon trail with no damage or need to pull rope, many of the trails in Moab and throughout the Southern and Mid-Atlantic trails. I have enjoyed building and driving this rig over every trail I could without fault in any of the parts and components I've used.
Sale is due to changing dynamic within the family with focus on a new direction off-roading. Simple as that...
