Yea, that was a tricky spot... made it through with no contact to the door if you can believe that.

That's actually a bypass, for THIS:



Not gonna be trying that any time soon (read: ever)...

Thanks! I've met a lot of great people and made some awesome memories with this thing...

As usual, you hold the record! What ever became of your frame? Do you want my stock skids? Cris

I've got the All Pro skids set, would be hard to go back to worrying about smashing things after all this time with them on...

The frame is being swapped as we speak, work on that should be wrapping up today actually. Check it out!

Post 105 has the good pics - I broke my frame!

April 19, 2008 - Table Mesa Cleanup, Trail Run

The AZOHVC organized a cleanup of Table Mesa, which is a huge offroad paradise area that is in DIRE need of cleaning due to all sorts of problems. We worked for a few hours and picked up a ton of stuff, but made little impact in the area which is really depressing... more on AZFJ.org

I spent most of the time tossing blown up TV's, tires, and big pieces of wood in the back of my rig.



1leglance went at it with bags...



Afterward, we set out with SOAZ-Tim for a quick run on some of the trails east of the highway and towards Fountain Hills.

May 29, 2008 - All Pro Tcase Skid Install

Time for some skids... the install was very difficult and I wasn't able to do it on my back in my parking lot. So, it was over to my local custom shop for some help and better tools!



May 30, 2008 - Road Trip to Hemet, CA!

Just for fun, I drove out to All Pro to pick up a bunch of stuff for myself and some people back in AZ... it was interesting to see their operation in real life!
