I got a 454 bb if you got the time to help me pull it! and overhaul it.  I think a truggy would hold up just fine with me behind the wheel out here.

God damn Brian,,,,,
That is exactly what I need to build :o

simple and easy you will probably need step bars to get in! ;D ;D
I would air bag the rear personally or I plan on air bagging the rear when dunebound gets out here to help me start pulling the donor motor!

I agree thats a cool car Spec likes but I do wonder if it tips over a lot due to torque. Long travel with a solid rear axle can do that.

Need to get a Funco and a Sandrocket to breed. Have a car sorta like that but with IRS rear and airbags to allow it to drop down for passengers. The raise for hauling tail. 
Your mission isn't to dive feet first into hell, but to make sure its crowded when you get there.

tipping over would just be a bonus!!  I can see that on the dunes depending on who's driving but I don't see in here on the dirt so much. irs would be nice but the simplicity of it is what appeals to me the most.  the funco - sandrocket cross breed would be interesting.

I have been curious about that place. How'd he like it?  Maybe start a new thread?

loyalty to the American people."

go ahead and split it. I talked to scott today and asked him what he thought of it and he said that LS utah and st anthony's idaho are far far better than corrol pink. he said for the most part it's a 2nd gear dune becuase of all the transitions and witch's eyes and some rocks, lots of trails and shrubs. scott said it was fun but not what he is used too.

I looked today and the drive to st anthony for me will be 14.5 hrs, just a little over a 1k miles. with 2 drivers we could make that run non-stop. leave sat morning spend the week and leave that following sat morning, leaves a day to unwind and survey the damage if any!

I may be out on the heavy lifting for 4 to 8 weeks. Will find out more on that monday. I will have a 1/4' whole in the head buy the end of day Tuesday. But I can provide moral support for ya pulling the donor motor DS. The trailing arms will need much more beef to take a big block.

When in doubt gas it. WTF
