We would be ok with daily picture updates......just saying!....lol.

 

I'm way to excited about this build and seeing the final project.

 

Who is the lucky driver for UA? Can I buy a raffle ticket or something for a chance to wheel it? Any crazy chance you'll have it in Moab between Aug 26th and Sept 12th....I would love to see it. And last, can I buy it in 2 years after it finishes its circuit around the shows?!?!?!?!

 

We'll see what we can do about more pics since things will be changing a little faster now.

 

The drivers are the guys you are seeing in the videos, Dave and Carter....2 very lucky younger guys in our company. Dave has worked as our head of sales for about 3 years so he has paid his dues. Carter is our marketing guy so by default he gets to go on all the fun trips.

 

Moab is a little far out for us. We usually only make that trip once a year for EJS. This will be at the SEMA show this year...maybe Offroad Expo, we'll see.

 

As far as buying it....everything is always for sale for the right price :D

That was his other issue, we had to dismount his wheels to get to the valves for them due to were he had to mount them so they would not hit calipers/etc.

 

That was probably a big part of his issues. We will see how it goes this week and report back to you guys. We are looking at possibly carrying this product as one of our complimentary lines.

Hey guys. Sorry it has been a couple of days without a real big update. We finally had to buckle down and get to the real nuts and bolts of the project. The drive train has come out and we are currently setting up the new Golen 4.6L stroker. The t-case is getting some love as well as the tranny. New clutch, master/slave cylinders are going in along with a freshly resurfaced flywheel. The old 4.0L had a healthy layer of oil and grease so we have spent a fair amount of time just doing basic cleanup on the parts that will be swapped over as well as the engine bay and underside. The cage tie-ins are being finished as we speak and there is a huge amount of finish welding waiting for us at nearly ever inch of this vehicle. The axles are back and ready for suspension. Thursday we will start to switch gears back to the "fun" stuff and should have a new video/pictures ready for the beginning of the week. This thing goes to paint next Friday morning and graphics the following Monday. Time is getting tight but the end is near.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately guys. I have had 4 guys on this thing for the last couple of days trying to push through to our paint deadline next Thursday. On top of that we have a pretty extensive summer show schedule so I had to pull a couple of guys to get the other show rigs ready for the weekend. My marketing guy is out until Monday so I will see if I can get some pics up by the end of the day. The stroker, tranny and t-case are ready to go into the nice, clean, freshly painted engine bay. The rear suspension is mocked up and the front is next. Most of the internal cage is welded. Still need to final fit the seats/restraints and get the dash back together. The inside of the bed is getting prepped for paint. The inner air locks are being installed. We did run into a bit of an issue with those but found a solution. More on that later.

 

Hope to get back on here before the end of the day but no promises. Priority 1 right now is getting this thing done. We will have plenty of time to show off everything later if necessary. I want to be breaking this thing in by Wednesday (22nd) to give us time to work out the bugs.
