My front springs move the axle forward close to 2 inches.  On the back, I welded the spring hanger & shackle hangers back 4" of where they were suggested, moving my wheelbase back 4".

You coming to the Jamboree?

Found my new paint scheme (my buddy Jeremiah suggested it!)

Would you still run BV Carnage with me at the Jambo if it was painted this color??  :slap:

When debating an exo cage being gay or not, I told my girl "Hell, I'll paint it hot pink as long as it saves my ass in a roll!"

She got a silly look in her eyes when I said that...  :eyebrow:

A buddy of mine used to have a pink roll cage in his 4Runner.  While he was in Iraq, his wife quite a few companies to donate parts to fully build his 4Runner while he was away.  The only stipulation was she got to pick what color it got painted :)



This was my last trip out to Patriot out in Penrose.  Robert's 4Runner is now an F-Toy and he placed 17th in the last chance qualifier race at this year's King of the Hammers race.  He won a spot in the big race tomorrow and will be starting in 77th.

I am graduating from CU this summer with a degree in civil engineering and am looking for a position as a field engineer or an entry level engineer. I would love to find a position with an offroad company but am also looking into the construction field.
If anyone has any info that could help me find a position I would greatly appreciate it.
 I can email my resume to anyone if they are interested.
Thank you    :beer:

Add the M8000 with the roller fairlead (reg price $539) into your shopping cart and it shows the free wireless remote.  Then add "BigDeal4U" into the promo code box and it takes off another 10% off the winch ($54)

Warn M8000 with a free wireless remote shipped free for $486!!  Probably the best deal I've ever seen on this winch.

Hahahahahaha, bit the bullet and ordered one for myself  :greengrin:

I've wheeling way too many tough trails without a winch for several years now.  I always hate relying on somebody else to have to winch me through the exit of BV Carnage or the exit at Patriot.  It's a pain to have them turn around (sometimes when it's almost impossible) just to hook a winch.

Total came out to $521 since they charge tax (they have stores here in CO).  Still a good deal considering it comes with a wireless remote ($120).  I plan on keeping it for awhile & can be transferred to other rigs in the future if need be.
