After looking for a few weeks, and trying to decide what would work out well for family wheeling, UA trip, and desert driving, I found this Jem and the holograms on the Pirate. After going over what it would cost to build this, and the time it would take, I decided it was a good deal and went ahead with it. After some negotiations and him pretty much calling me as ass for offering such a low price, he came down to close to my offer.
He is in backwoods Colorado, so we agreed to meet in Grand Junction CO, about 30 miles across the Utah/Colorado border on I70.
I registered it today, and took it our for a drive. Its got mucho power, shift very firmly, and drives nice and straight. Took it in the desert, the springs are way too stiff and the spools need to go. Selectable lockers are at the top of the list, driving on the road with spools is not fun, squealing tires around every turn gets annoying.
