that's the way my g/f is... but now she's wanting to drive on the trails. i'm a lil worried about that one as of right now.
My gf wants to start on building a KOH buggy with me and pick away at it for the next few years, then be co-driver in the KOH. Awesome. :headbang:

until she realizes how much money are in those buggies.... The average is around 130K. Some a little more, some a little less.

Nice carnage, John. :icon_thumby:

I still like jeeps, but I am not fond of the owners. They think that just because the name on the front is "Jeep" it is better than others. Those are the ones I got something to prove to.

Don't worry, Josh. Rest assured there are a couple places we go at Turkey Bay that a Jeep wouldn't dare go!! They wouldn't follow us up this one trail...You think you would go double??

actually Schd 120 pipe with 1/4" flat plate welded on top.....was what I had on hand when I discovered the Daystars were trash...

they have held up for several years of hard wheeling and still are in the same condition as the day I installed them....just a little surface rust on them is all....
