    We'll follow you guys right thru the mud. You guys however wont be able to follow us in the rocks. Anything off camber and you'll roll. Show me 50+'s with a 25" frame height and we'll talk. Or a truck like those that can actually stuff a tire...that is use more than 4" of suspension travel.

    I have something slowly draining my battery all the time. Don't want to spend who knows how long looking for it so I bought a 1.5 amp solar charger. I'm going to permanently mount it on my roof when I figure out how I want to do it. For now I just put the clamps on it and set it on the roof.

    I watched that show, (10 am my time) and it was pretty boring... He didn't go in depth with the sas at all. I wish those shows were a half hour of them actually working on the project rather than the show itself and commercials at 50/50.. Oh well

    I just wish Jesse was still on the show. It's def has changed over the years, kinda disappoint that the curvy buggy is being transformed into a mud buggy.

    That's only because Campbell got lost twice on the course, went down the same trail he just finished doing and had to go back up to get back on course. He also had a twenty minute lead before he rolled it, recovered and still finished 2nd :cookiemonster:

    Nice Bajas, brauuu! :cool: But seriously, those are some nice tires. haha
    meh.... ALL those drivers had something that slowed them down. Just the nature of the race.... If Shannon had a navigator, he might not have gotten lost. But of course, that adds weight and maybe he wouldn't have won. Who knows?? It's all part of the race.

    I gotta say though.... When he wasn't lost, He sure did kill the course in that IFS rig! :eek::eek:
    laughed SOOOO hard when I saw that! :rofl:
