Jeremy...those panels are neat...but I'm surprised you didn't build a set that covers the cab plates to help protect them from rocks when you're on your lid...yes you will end up on your lid

Good point....that carbon fiber does not like direct contact with rock. Looks awesome and I have some of those warn stickers, I will give you one next time I see you.
 
Kinda late notice and probably not "appropriate" for this thread, but since it's on top of the list today...BigJon and myself will be going to the zoo tomorrow morning to get some time on the rocks. I know a few guys are going south of Atlanta to their comp, but if anyone else is up for it we'll be there from around 9:30 til lunch or so.
 
Worse comes to worse I will have to buy a new carbon upper I was in a hurry to get these done for tomorrow so I honestly didn't think about it at the time.
 
Wendall...how ya liking the new setup...can u tell some differences?

I like it but it is a lot different than my old setup. It crawled my rock pile easier than my old rig but it wouldn't climb the brick steps to the porch...the moonbuggy would. I think it needs some stiffer springs, are blue mrc springs stiffer than pink mini-t?
 
playing with setups to make my rig lighter still, I have the titanium lower links coming from nick and now I am making my uppers lighter, here is some 3mm solid carbon rod links i made tonight.

old rear uppers

"thumbsup" I love these scales but it always has me thinking of ways to be lighter!

YES...the blue springs are quite a bit stiffer than the pink springs!
