If you haven't read my Atlas story, you can read it in my build thread in the Money Pit. Here's Mike (the owner of AA) and a couple of his guys ripping the Atlas out of my rig:

CRAWL Media run on Wednesday. IIRC, there was like 62 rigs that started including Walker Evans, Shannon Campbell, numerous other rock racers, the guys from Eastside Custom Truck, etc, etc.

That's among one of my favorite buggies. I'm jealous that you got to see it in person, let alone wheel with Shannon.
On the way out of that run we all stopped to chat for a minute. Shannon had just made himself a sandwich, and offered to make us all one. Naturally, we all accepted and Shannon Campbell broke out an assembly line for turkey sammiches on the hood of his buggy. It was surreal. :D

Awesome pics guys.

I downloaded mine this morning to my work computer, so I'll have to post them when I get to work tomorrow.

I'm lookin forward to next year, and getting to really experience Moab, instead of just working the booth.

Yeah it's too bad you didn't get in on any runs with us, should have wheeled the jk.:D

Yeah, I wanted to...but wheeling the brand new overly expensive show Jeep was only a cool idea until the "don't come back to work if you roll it" factor set in.

Next year we plan on building something older, like a YJ or XJ to take over there just to play with.

That's definitely a campfire story you'll never forget. Only in Moab... :cool:

How did your jeep do overall? It really turned out nice!
