Well its pay-off time, headed out to do Clear-cut, International, and the other trail that runs parallel to International. Wildcard I think? I called Mario Perrier and Roy Harvey to come along for recovery support, that wasn't needed. It worked awesome, lots of power from the 318 magnum, a bit fast in places but with 350 gears that was expected. I managed to break a front u-joint on the front drive shaft but in no time I had that fixed and back wheelin. here are the picts. Unloading  Unleash the beast lol  Ya after 2.5 years of build time and not wheelin in all that time I'm a happy wheeler.  added some decals  Just about ready  And off we go   A little stretch    Turned around and had to climb the clear-cut hill to see how it climbed.    And back down    My nemis rock  Still catching me up  beep beep  And it didn't get too dirty either, but I didn't want to, but It could of gotten messy if I gave it in the water and muck.   |

There's a lot of attention to detail in this build. Nice job. Looks great.
What caused the front shaft joint to fail? Land on something, or bind up?

It was a older joint that was already in the yoke. It wasn't new, but looked and felt ok so I'm not shore what ended up happening to it. It was on a straight hill but the front did bounce a bit under power.
driver abuse most likely

looks awesome. I love what you did to the side panels it really ties it together nice way better than the plain steel.
