isnt that black one cotton's?

 

Yea, that's Cotton. My car is very similar, the nose is different and I have done a lot more the the chassis then they did. I know most people think 1-1/2 is small but most of the racers build with it. It just depends on what your doing with it.

 

Just make sure that you get it welded properly. The last thing you want is something to break if you were ever to roll it.

 

you may be right...wasnt thinking about the wheels/tires (damn retreads are heavy!). im probably sitting right around 4...with the dash, ac/heat, 2 front doors, rear bumper, and interior gone (thats just the big stuff). does it cost anything to get it weighed? you have me interested now...

 

I had my setup weighed at a rock place where trucks come in to load gravel. They were certified scales. It was like 5 bucks. I did it mostly to make sure I wasnt overloading my trailer. All told my tow rig with gear, trailer and rig tipped the scale a touch over 13500. It definately weighed more then I thought.

 

 

Isn't that Bill Millette's rig ?


If so ... I think I see my company sticker in the corner of the window.

 

I have no idea... he was posting on some expedition site... IxnayXJ or something?

 

That is one heck of a Roof Rack (Gray)!!!!!!LOL

 

Now I like the cage and stance of that White 2 door.. that's sweet.

 

what are the laws on having an exo cage?

 

find a couple pieces of steel and run to your local scrap yard... jump up on the scales, unload, and jump back on. your receipt will tell you your weight.

 

what kinda flares r those? they look sick!

 

Keep the picture coming guys.

The exo/halo portion did it's job here. I only folded my mirror back slightly and it dented my door slightly:
