You're rig is going to be incredible. Remember when I told you that I'd follow you anywhere? I'm going to have to take that back. I love love love my Jeep but with each new stage of your upgrade mine seems to shrink just a little...
I can't wait for a ride in your Sluice stompin' rig
Not only a ride Caroline, I'm hoping you will be my co-pilot/navigator on the Little Sluice Challenge run. It may get a little bumpy, and it is possible that we may flop on one side or another, but if you're willing (and seat-belted in), I'm hoping that you'll accept the challenge...!

Still on schedule!!

Here's the Higher Ground crew putting the body back on the frame at about 10:00 p.m. last night:


A few things left to do in the engine compartment, but it does fit!!:


On Jim's trailer and ready to be delivered to the muffler shop for some custom exhaust work today:

this is fantastic man, very well done on the choices and the final product is going to be absolutely sick. I am really anticipating the day when you post the video of you and your jeep owning little sluice! If you plan on getting rid of your pintlers let me know, I'd be VERY interested!

Yeah, I'm looking forward to that video too - thanks. I have a person asking for the AEV wheels already, but if that falls through, I will let you know. The rims are in good shape. The beadlock rings work great but they are pretty beat up from all the rocks we do out here.

I think your Jeep alone is making me decide that I want a Silver rig. That last shot on the trailer looks awesome!

Hey thanks. Yeah, I do like the silver - it is very practical also - it hides scratches and dings real well, and I've got a lot of them!
