thanks for the link, great footage

any idea who this redhead is? Twisted Evil

the tiny tires are making him hit rocker panels, but awesome throttle control on the climb out

Im guessing the propshaft skid rails are bent on this Van.. Burley makes some stronger ones Smile



That is Pete driving, GWTWTLW, and me in the passenger seat. His van idid awesome despite no front OR rear locker. Credit the driver!

Yeah, his skid rails are bent up past his prop shaft. How did you know!? Laughing

edit: oh okay this response was too slow!

I added a decoupler for this year which made a huge difference.


how do you mean that, did you replace your VC with a solid shaft?

you managed your momentum perfectly considering no rear locker

awesome!
I think more ground clearance would help, lift springs

I did replace the VC with a solid shaft. I've been thinking about more ground clearance as well. Just starting to figure out what my options are. Probably the GW springs?

Wow, nice pics! Anyone know who owns this beauty? I'd love to know about the rims. Looks like they could be AMG Monoblocks.

This is a classic example of the male brain. "This can't be more than a few thousand pounds. I'll just pull her back over." Love it Laughing

Hilarious, Noganav!

I think you are correct about the rims being AMG. They belong to Bob, 'PNW Westy Owner'.
