[Desert Beast]

Sweet pics! Looks like a lot of fun. Ive been watchin you finish your beast up. Glad to see its all buttoned up. Looks like a sweet rig :thumbsup:

What a blast!:cool:

Nice! You haven't even finished it yet and you're outdoing the other rigs. How's it crawl in the lowest gears? Looks like once you found a line you just crept right up that. This is just makes me want to buy another old rusty Chero and start building. Perhaps in the future I'll build something serious to take out west for adventures.

Moab is gonna be a blast... glad to see the shakedown run went well.

about Dayum time :thumbsup: :p
nice looked like a little tire smoke!
is that one of those back up a foot and nail it climbs??? or can you crawl it?

Hell yea...did it "feel" any different wheelin the rocks?

How's it crawl in the lowest gears?

in compound low (4:1) it crawls awesome. the torque from the 454 is nuts and i can crawl up most everything. the first ledge on backdoor you have to do a little bump but it was sweet.

the first ledge on backdoor can be crawled up half of it then you need to bump to get up the rest of the way. and half the time i just sat on the gas and sawed it to try and find traction. (couldnt do that w/ my dana 44's :thumbsup: )

Hell yea...did it "feel" any different wheelin the rocks?

felt way different. the narrow job made my visibility 1000% better, the doubler made my crawl ratio better and the rocks were sweet. if i hit the diffs they would usually just slide over the rocks, the high pinion is the best. you cant even see my d-shafts when looking from the side. and then the full throttle assaults on the waterfalls were much more fun w/ the 2.5 tons.
the set up exceeded my expectations 10 fold. everything worked great together and it was a Great Googley MoogleyGreat Googley MoogleyGreat Googley MoogleyGreat Googley Moogleying blast. cant wait to hit up the harder trails and other wheeling spots around the country.


and thanks for the props
