Bay City or Tri Citys MI

im thinking this is going to work out pretty well.

wanted to see how well it will balance. in these 2 pics the buggy is only on the 2 rear tires. took a while to get it to balance and hold it. but i think its not too bad at all.

1 ton fury: guest post by Bernie

current weight 1/4 ton is my rough guess, our indoor concrete mountain is coming along great. with a little work and sweat every day or so my masonry skills are put to the test for the largest indoor sculpture I've ever attempted. wait till we get the pictures up so you can all see. ish de bomb! -TMH- Scoot'
 
Hey, new to this sight. I am getting ready to purchase a rock crawler and met Nick at Dan's shop on Thursday. He said I should check out this sight and got to say I've read and seen some sweet rigs. If it's alright would it be cool if I swung by your run on Sunday.
 
*Scoot'er's Place*_Yup' it's a coming along Great too.!

Welp',...Here ya all's pic's you been waiting to see *Enjoy* It's been alot of work for just one person too. (( I Need some real rock's added to it soon too.."Who want's to help lug um' down into this basement )) yup' me neither...But somebody's got to carry them into there sooner or later...and I'm not killing myself doing that part all by myself either...I'm, thankfull for the extra help I've been getting lately to push this forward the deadline of having it done by the first of Feb'... _Scoot'_

I must say for someone that hasn't run a crawler yet that bridge looks damn freaky. I can't wait to try something like that. About the rocks. If you have access window you could make a shute of some sort and slide the rocks through the window and down to the basement. It may limit the size but sure would save your back some."thumbsup"
 
Thank's Jeff'.. That Brig' has been Mess'd with alot too

About the window's...! There is no way to get rock's down there ... but to come thru the hallway door,.. and then down the stair's,.. thru two more door's,.. then dump um'... going to have to carry them all in by hand... That's how everything has gotten down there so far,... And haul'd out too.. had to clear the whole thing out to just to have all this floor space and it was a mess too...((Slim' & Jay))* Both have seen what I had to work with as a start* This place was stuff full of alot of ol' junk that I had to haul out before I could even start to make anything .... Now I'm, racing to finish up all the hand packing and see how much wood & stuff I got to use up yet... I wanted to make it even bigger... But,I will have to keep adding on as time go'es by.. Will see if any of you fella's have any Idea's & etc about what to add and all that B.S'ing... Thinking of a having a cable crossing too ...*Maybe*... It's going to have a Lil' bit of everything.. (But, real rock's___For I have had to go around that part from the start... And use what ever I had to work with here... I have put alot of money into this... And I want to see it done and have a Gtg' soon ((That was my dream )) to be able to have this Crawling space and to have my freind's over to enjoy their company,... And to crawl together too...Welp' I'm, waking up here & sore all over... But I'll, be going at it again today and each day till it's done... More pic's to come as it take on more & more progress...TTYL...(( Glad you all's seem to like it so far )) The Brig' has been moved to the other wall coming off the first MT' It did look kinda freaky ... But' it better now the way I got it now..!!! Was thinking it was to steep....And thinking... (OUCH) ...in case someone was to take a drop off that and fall,...to the floor....*OUCH*....!!! There's going to be two kind's of crossing's finish,... before it's all done....*I'm, thinking We'll be needing 8 more 60 lbs bag's of ready-mix',... Too to finish this layout up for now. ***Now ya see where all my money's been going this month... And I figure I'll be about_BROKE_ all next month just to have what all fund's... I'll have to sink into this to get it done***Then I'll worry about having anything to drive over it ...after I have something to crawl over to start with. ((Winter's S__K)) I can't wait till Spring...LoL .Scoot'er.

It come's to ya'...! As you go along with it. And it seem's then each day I see something different then what I was thinking of,... Or something seem's to just fall into place. __ Welp'... I'm heading back down there for the weekend..*Have fun,... For ya' a know what I'll be doing..Huh*. And I'll have bernie'... Post up the new pic's of how it's all going to look by sunday.!

i have the springs Nick. Mike dropped them off with the Scroll saw incase you and i hooked up before tomorrow. so i ll be sure to bring them.

on a side note, talked with Josh today about the baja track. we re going to try to get a few of us local guys together this week coming. Josh is heading back to Isreal for 14 days on Friday, so if we can get a small group of us together for a quick meeting this week about the track, and what needs to be done before we can officialy approach Dow about the land, maybe when he gets back we can set a meeting up to see if Dow has land that we can lease.
 
Thats cool ! man you guys take good care of me. LOL And as soon as the frost laws lift we are hualing all of the construction equiptment back form the UP. So if we need to do a little digging we can."thumbsup"
