lol its no show car bro hehe...I was just talkin about taking to the B.C. car show cause lots of my customers have asked about it...and thunder road street rods asked me to take it down there so he can show off his alluminum panel work.

The shakdown run yesterday was...well quite possibly the funnest day ive had in a loooong time lol man I had a blast! I intended to be real easy on it.BUt that didnt last long lol I was airing out on sand dunes mobbing down woopdy dooo roads HOt Damn she worked good! Its a ful;l on rattle trap tho...**** drive ya nuts lol I got alot of work to do on the panels they make alot of noise.

The dana 300 doesnt shift worth a ****! very difficult to get it out of high range into low..hmmm not sure why.

But I popped up over this ridge and saw a perfect natural jump so matted it and flew down the dune and launched it nice smooth landings! the shocks are amazing the stability is rediculous! its like a damn sports car...very ,very happy with the way it handled and I havnt even tuned on the shocks yet.

The only pic I could find so far,Cave Dave caught me right at lift off lol he said I got about 2 feet under the tires and flew about 25 30 feet...not bad.The rig flew pretty flat and landed sweet! earlier(this gave me the confidence to air it out) hehe I flogged it down a woody doo road and bottomed hard 3 times,but its bottoming out was pretty damn soft,didnt bother me at all.

had a great group of great friends!

was an awsome day of wheelin! and the zuk did awsome for its first run!

How do you like the new MT/R?

rockmike · Jun 3, 2011

LOve em! there still not even broke in yet...only second trip out.I was shocked how well they bit on the wet rocks.Pleasantly surprised at how well they cleaned the mud out...they never balled up with mud and thats sticky clay **** up there.

I ran 6lbs in them,barley bagging just sitting.But as I went across the man made rock crawl they acted like they had 2 lbs in them the tires wrapped around the rocks really good....I would say excellant tread,sidewall flex with out beeing all mushy feeling,they maintaned integrity while flexing nicely.

Btw the rig ended up weighing w/full tank, tools and shovel no high lift mounted yet no people in it 3600lbs
