Damn thing is coming out beast keep it up....you have a ruff estimate of when it will be done

Wow Owen you do alot of amazing work.


Are you going to run this in any competitions like RCrocks or anything like that? It would be a waste not to but it would also be amazing to see this as an SIS/HMC rep in a competition next to sam.

I really am hoping to make it to at least one RC Rocks with it as well as the Rock Course at Vermonster 4x4 Comp. However, I am a little tight on time and money so I don't really know what will happen this year.


So right now everything is tacked in, upper and lower arms cut and tacked and installed and it looks sick. I am about to go to my shop to take some pics

Owen is your shop in that group of storage buildings of Rt 68 near United Concrete or something?

OK here are the pics of what it is going to be like. Everything is tacked and assembled. I cycled it to the bumps and like a 12" droop and no problems (other than the driveshaft at like a 12" droop) but I am going to run a center limiting strap.

Here are some pics, Next it will be coming apart for finish welding and paint

They might be from 2003, someone gave them to me so I used them

I have a job interview at 1 on Tuesday, I'll be there after that

Thanks for the compliments, certainly not the best build but it keeps me busy. I kinda wish I built a YJ so it would be finished by now, I have ran into a lot of curves in building this that I never thought would happen, but I do like the uniqueness.

This weekend I have a lot of welding and painting to do, like I said anyone is welcome to stop by. You will see my other flatfender parked outside
