No doubt. Who makes it?



Looks like you already know the way to sheep bridge, too!



It was custom made by SDHQ for me. I've never gone to the sheep bridge through cave creek though. Last time I went it was raining and super muddy.

Updated with Racin' to the Basin 100 pics. Still more to come soon. She handles like a champ. I keep thinking I need suspension and every time I take it off road I remember how great it is stock. Definitely needs leaf springs though and I might take some more air out of the tires. The 37s were awesome and only rubbed a little under compression and turning sharp. I'm going to trim a little more this weekend. Even after sending it my fender liners stayed in.

What's next:
At the end of the month I'm going to try to take it in for leaf springs, frame gussets, bump stops, collars, and a spare carrier. Bumpers coming as soon as RPG releases the front trophy bumper. Center caps should be coming soon.

Thanks. I can't wait to see the airborne shots they got. If you haven't already, you can sign up to get updates for future runs here here. I think they're looking at the North rim of the Grand Canyon for the next one in a couple months.
