Automan2164 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Time to wrap up the year here fellas. This month we have a newer member, who came in with a bang.

The day after the cage and axles were done, I was in liberty wa, on our annual Jeep Camp trip, ended up rolling the first night out, picked a terrible line on some loose terrain and down I went, was told I went over 6-8 times, bellied up to a couple trees half way down the trail. I've said it before and I'll say it again, all that tube no doubt idly saved mine and my cousins life. What owner loves best about CC : Whats not to love, you're my personal pit crew, research and development team.. I love being able to share my obsession with like minded folks. From nearly stock DD's to guys dumping LS1 v8's in there Comanches, it's pretty awesome to be able to converse with all these people that enjoy these little pickups as much as I do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Welcome sir. It was a mere month ago when you joined up and started your build thread - what an entrance. Even though you've been building it for awhile, you started the thread from scratch, and detailed all the steps along the way. Your build quality is superb, and very thought out. The work you had done with the cage is amazing. That center console you fabbed up is a work of art. It's great that you could come in and share your truck with the group. I am sure I will not be the only one when I say that I can't wait to see what is in store. Keep us posted. Enjoy the spotlight. :cheers: Rob Click here to view the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
