Mark, 2 things.....

1) You suck, here I am sitting waiting for that picture to load getting all excited and then it's the same friggin picture you posted before.

2) Is that unibody supporting itself in those pics? or are there hidden jackstands keeping it from collapsing?

Ary,

1. I know.

2. Actually it is quit strong still. We were driving it around the parking lot with no ill affects. We were surprised. It does get weaker when the rocker at the very back section by the wheel well was ct away, but it never felt like anything was going to fail. I would drive it on the street in the above picture without any reservations, but not off road.

I saw that XJ when I picked up my rockrails last week. I was wondering what the heck you guys were doing to it.

Looks like fun!

Just for clarification, is that diamond plated, flatbeded, Bondrant looking thing an Ameba? Whatever it is, I think we're going to be seeing more of them.

You know the do make aluminum diamond plate? I thought you were building something to wheel, not to fix cuz you made it 3 times heavier than it already was.

Looks like a rainbow warrior project to me :firedevil
