Will probably make me flop over lol

Don't forget the solar panels or to put it in 4lo as soon as tires leave pavement.

Oh ya, thank you.

I hope I don’t have to use it, but I’m pretty stoked about this spare idea my driveline guy whipped up. It’s a telescoping ag implement driveline converted to 1350 ends. It can be cut to accommodate any length, so it can be used front or rear on any of the rigs going on our trip. Probably wouldn’t be great on the freeway, but should get us off the trail.

All loaded down and ready for the Rubicon run. Ended up ditching the tent but keeping the rack, I have so much stuff packed in this little truck.

Rubicon is badass. 10/10 highly recommend

Trail was super nice this weekend, rain quit shortly after starting which killed all the dust and made some parts more challenging and fun. We came across the Rock Zombie party and got to see a bunch of toyotas flop over which was an unexpected surprise. Chevy broke a rear shaft in the 14 bolt and still drove out no problem. We never pulled out a single tool which I was super thankful for.

Another one.... Going to build a 2 piece soon.

Used ai to see what the truck would look like if it was painted to match the race ranger. What do you guys think?

Unpopular opinion, but I prefer the matte black.

Modernized this hoopty a bit since I've been driving it around town a lot.

Experimenting with more traction in the front. So far there’s never been an obstacle I couldn’t make it over including Soup Bowl and Chocolate Thunder, but occasionally the truetrac in the front would slip a little too much at an inconvenient time. Eaton sponsored me this Detroit to try upfront, if it’s miserable to steer, I think I’m gonna try a WaveTrac.
