Good to see that thing out. Looking good.

By the way where was the Pig Gig held?

[CheapThrillB2]

it was held in west Branch, it was on private property owned by GrandMan and miffy from greatlakes4x4.com

they have an on site course and obstacles as well as many trail rides on local trails and the st. helen motorsports area

probably 340+ people and over 100 rigs all weekend long, def an awesome time, my first pig gig and def not the last

[Todd]

Hey do they have that rock crawl section done in the St Helen motorsports area? I remember hearing something about that a few years ago. Or are the pics of you on rocks from the St Helen area?

[CheapThrillB2]

all the pics of my B2 are from the private property the event was held on, their are also some hill climbs on location. Fri a jeep was climbing one and it endowed twice then went sideways and landed on its lid.

here is the link of the other pics, all of the sand and the few of the jeps stuck in the mud are from st. helens.

[CheapThrillB2]

[CheapThrillB2]

[Todd]

Seen many of that before. Damn neck down!!!!!!!!!

[CheapThrillB2]

anybody ever weld the shallow neck down area? i know i would have to grind it smooth to clear the seal, but if i can make it stronger in that spot

[CheapThrillB2]

not weld the broken shaft, but an unbroken shaft in that spot
