Most of you guys have seen Mike's buggy. Rumor has it that this is the second prototype of the famed "Fusion 2" chassis. I actually talked to Dan DuBose to verify this and he did. He built the one and only "Evil Bastard" now owned by Mike George. Here is a video of it when it still had the unimogs.

Note the front upper grill tube where it curves around the headlights. You can't even pay extra to get Blue Torch Fabworks to bend it this way now. They deceided it was too labor intensive and now make the grill this way.
Dan's buddy "Joel" built the other prototype and this is that buggy.
This buggy underwent a complete overhaul two years ago by Jace Baker in Texas. Jace is a very busy man and sometimes gets "bored" before completing a project. He sold it to me "almost finished," and I completed the project. He put a complete new steering system on it, re-did the brakes, put new coilovers and added air bump stops on all four corners. He also completely disassembled it and epoxy painted the chassis and added a new Atlas II 3.8 transfer case.
I did all the elictrical, added a CB radio, on board air, rock lights, back-up lights, and put a rear pull down winch on it. I have the 7075 Branik aluminum links, but haven't installed them. I have put new skins on it this year and upgraded to new 42" BFG red label stickies on 20" TrailReady HD Beadlocks. I also upgraded the fuel cell to the Steel around plastic bladder Summit for safety.
