Whasup peeps - been a while...

Figured I'd drop in and say hey - been a while but I'm still alive. We got the RC good to go so now it's time for some 'wheelin trips.

I've been working on lots of projects and we have a customer truck in the shop now so most of my time has been going to that rig - really clean 77 P-Wagon.

Anyways any questions please ask. Now that I'm in the ball park and I have a fresh cup of 'joe I should be able to respond in decent time

I'm an old member but it wasn't until this morning that I realized I hadn't posted in here before - I'm on too many sites and mostly been on RCC.

The 12cm housing on the RC is fantastic - love it, but it would retain a bit too much heat for a serious tow rig like the '93 is - it has a 14cm housing gated at 40 psi - and it's awesome.

But here's a pic of the RC just before Moab last year...



...en route with the '93...



...and during - it was such a blast -

I plan to out of an extra set of doors, but it is fun to drive with no doors. The mirror is attached to the upper door hinge and my left foot rids on the lower.

our RC has a LOT of armor, a full steel dash/interior, safari rack...and the doubler is stupid heavy too .
The Mickey's are awesome - I'll likely never put any other tire on the RC. They balanced out fantastic, have great highway manners, and off road...with the weight and torque...it's a tank .
