Here is a crappy view of me taking the wag down the road... I smoked out the neighbors from 0:38 to 0:43... I had to let off of it due to the church rapidly approaching... lol.
The camera was straight, I must have bumped it when I turned it on... 🙁:

Here is a short video of my smoking the 35" Swampers... I had to let off the skinny as the road was running out. :t:

Actually the old man next door loves it... there are a couple neighbors that don't like it... But, it's not everyday, or everyweek... hell, it's not every month... the kid on the dirt bike is 2 to 3 times a week... and that sucker is loud, plus he rips up and down the street at mach 4... lol
But, truth be told... I miss the country, nobody cares what you do unless you're destroying private property.

Well, the waggy is no-more. I Junked the rusted body and decided to go with the frame and work up from there. I'm calling it, "Project DOA"... Once the 496 is built and tested she'll be going into this project. Plans are to do a full rollcage that sits 4 to 6 people... Doing the 1 tons w/4.56's locked (HP D60, FF 14Bolt Rear)... Looking at 38"-42" tires mounted on beadlocks. I'll be using a Ford 435, Ford 203 gearbox mated to a Ford 205... This set-up will give me around 120:1 Crawl Ratio as well as the ability to run her in the mud... Should be a fun project. Stay Tuned.
Before the Knife & stitches (welding)..

Below is a pic of part of the old cage sitting on the frame... this is just for rough measurements. This thing will be a flat bottom rig and I was thinking about making storage compartments under the floorboards... I'll be able to put supplies, food, parts, tools etc... I'm figuring the compartments will be roughly 8" deep and how ever long I want them. Heck, I Might have to make one into a beer chest... lol
