Well I haven't tested it yet lol, close, but not yet. I opted for the full assembled cage. The one where he puts it together and tack welds it then marks everything and takes back apart. Went together very nice and had almost no metal prep work other then grinding the welding areas to make good welds. I had no fitment issues.

Wow been a month :sonicjay:. I have enjoyed some wheeling with no breakage. Kinda nice. I have gone to the Sundowners Rodeo and played a bit, here I am parked next to the rig that I guess motivated me to build a EB and ditch the god aweful ranger truggy I onced wheeled :sonicjay:,


went to some private stuff north of GR twice I think :sonicjay: and haven't done anything to the truck other then the last time out I wrinkled a little bit of the fender, honestly not even sure where I did it at.





I did pick up some new drive flanges, they are the RPM offroad fat girl ones to replace the Rock and roll offroad flanges I have been using the last year or so.

I have also recently relocated to a new home, here is the new digs....:woot: Getting my compressor, welder, and plasma hooked up tonight :woot:

explorer is another project I am working on

oops lol.

Was at Rocks and Valleys saturday/sunday. Managed to bend my pass radius arm on the long crawl (I think). My m8ooo lost a solenoid, noticed I have some front axle shaft joint caps coming loose. Minor elec issue fixed for now. and my pass seat broke. I also have a large can of monster to clean off the floor and dash :sonicjay:. Have to ask holshotracer about that lol.

Its not rare when it was 75% bondo and poorly repaired fiberglass panels. I had to replace 90% of the floor when i got it.

Parts of it might become a eb themed buggy.

And this was the only eb body, there hasn't been others. I will vouch for him though, body filler chunks would fall off while we wheeled, it was bad repairs, but made a good wheeler.
