SECOND CHANCE RIG & Second Chance 2.0

Re: SECOND CHANCE RIG

Second Chance, John 3:16, and Revelation...Sounds like Jesus has has a huge impact on your life! Some friends and I are working on a ministry focused on Spreading the Gospel and building disciples in the off road community. It's neat to see like minded people around the off road world.


When I got started in the sport in 2008 I wanted to reach as many people as I could even if I didn't get to witness to them. So naming the rigs was one of the easiest ways. Even if someone doesn't know me they know the rig and what it stands for which is what I wanted to get out there. God has blessed in me in more ways than I can even imagine. Even in the worst of times he has brought me out stronger than I was before. I struggle daily as does everyone but in a sport that I have met and made so many friends and it continues to grow letting the buggy speak sometimes touch hearts as well as we all know God can use anything he wants to glorify him. I also made a promise that if I was going to be in the sport I would do my best to represent my Lord and Saviour or I wouldn't do it. The attached picture shows JOHN 3:16, the next raw chassis was Revelation but it got bought before I could finish it. The yellow rig is the one I had before Second Chance and the one that I watched Jay Roberts build he was the one who got me started. The bottom right is Second Chance before I finished it. I have met and had the opportunity to witness to a lot of people verbally or just by them following the rigs. God Is Great and without him I wouldn't be in the sport today. If I ever get to where I don't represent him I will get out of it. :dblthumb:

That is great! It is awesome to see people represent Christ! I didn't mean to hijack your thread, but I didn't think you would mind! I sure hope to see you on the trail sometime! Jesus and horsepower are my two favorite things!

Re: SECOND CHANCE RIG

Don't mind at all sir. Thank you for the support. I agree, when I'm on a hill for a brief moment in time all the craziness of life goes away it's just God, me and a motor I love it. :dblthumb: See you on the trail sometime.....
 
Re: SECOND CHANCE RIG

Ain't that the truth! A build thread like this just confirms that there's quite a few good hearted folks left. With all tha junk that goes on these days sometimes it's hard to believe.. The first time I read this thread i couldn't finish, Second Chance just made me keep thinkin bout my mom .. Words can't describe how bad I miss her. She led some many to know God, always helped others whether it be a place to live or a job.. Raised us every Sunday in church.. And Kept me alive, I should be dead, more than once. Had the Perfect family and upbringing.. She was the backbone of the family.. Then she got cancer. Leukemia took my mom from me and pretty much ruined my family. I HATE it. I have been bitter and angry for a coulple years now, if anyone deserved it, it was me not her. Not sure if I will ever be the same.. Keep me in prayers if ya can. I need it
Sorry to ramble on, I just wanted you to know that in all the builds i have read or kept up with, not one is even close to being as special as this one. I can tell by your post that your sincere and deserve everything you have. I hope to have that peace again one day. Thank you for the thread. You never kmow who you have a impact on. I wish anyone dealing with this nasty disease nothing but the best, it's a terrible disease and I absolutely Hate it .. Thanks again, keep on doing what your doin. I can assure tha man up stairs has a special seat for you. :dblthumb:
 
Re: SECOND CHANCE RIG

Thank you very much and for the support. I lost my Grandmother a couple of years ago along with some other friends and family through the years. Your right things are never the same and its hard not to be bitter or angry. I can only say from personal experience that I prayed to see what God was trying to show me or where he was working in these situations. He has a reason and a plan as always. I am sorry for your mothers passing and would like to pass my regards on to you and your family. I believe that every family has been or is dealing with some form of cancer these days its a horrible disease. The response Second Chance has received had blown me away. The stories and personal messsages I have been sent through text, email, Face book, hardline and in person are unreal. If this build has touched one life and made them stop and think where they would go if it was there turn and trusted God through his son then it is worth it 10X's over. I really appreciate the support, I needed some encouragement as we took Second Chance out this weekend for the first time it didn't go as I had planned it but God had other plans. You see the t-case let go and wouldn't stay in gear on the very first hill. We worked on it for a good while but couldn't get it to stay. Finally I made the decision to just park it and bring it back to the house and figure out the problem rather than just trying to put a bandaid on it to ride. I was disappointed to say the least but the people that showed up just to see the rig in action and the new friends I made was unreal. SO even if there was a wrench throwed into the plans for the day God had a differnet plan. Its so easy to get caught up in all the mix and forget that God is the only reason this buggy came together in the first place as I'm not a fabricator but know to ask the master upstairs for help. We will get Second Chance worked out and back on the trails Lord willing and try it again. I heard it said once if your scared of breaking you better stay at the house well we aren't scared and we gonna get her fixed the right way. Sorry for the rambling but really appreciate the support and good comments. To God be the glory....... :dblthumb:
 
Re: SECOND CHANCE RIG

Was great to check this buggy out in person at Chapel Hill and to talk axles with you for a good while.

Sent you a PM with info on the Eaton axles and a bearing guy in Nashville just for reference.
 
Re: SECOND CHANCE RIG

Saw the buggy yesterday at GrayRock and wish I would have had the chance to shake your hand. Well done on the build, I love it!
 
Re: SECOND CHANCE RIG

Thank you all. We had a great time at Gray Rock. It was nice to see so many people and their reactions to the rig when seen in person. Here are a few picks of Brandon driving as a rental. I've got a few things to work on but to be a new rig and only on two hills (Sucker Punch Hill) & (Cable Hill) I'm really happy. Without God and support of my wife it would have never been built. I have met tons of people who all have a story they shared and to me that's what its about. Glory to God and a tribute to anyone who is or has fought cancer. Whether it climbs a hill or not. :dblthumb: Lord willing we will make it to Rush in a few weeks to hangout with everyone.

Re: SECOND CHANCE RIG

After seeing it in person over the weekend, pictures don't do it justice. It's a bad lil machine.
