Funny you should say that. Yesterday moring was the first day in 5 that it was not raining, so I go out to walk the dog and theres about a 6 foot gator cruising through the canal behind my house. Later on I was fishing while I was grilling and a water moccossin cruised by, all the while two turtle were doing the deed in the canal all day. It's been like wild kingdom in my yard the last few days, lol.

That would be awesome bro... Never thought of Montauk Point... NC, you know your welcome anytime man...
We could check out Turtle Cove in Montauk.. Nice backdrop for a photo op... lol

Man, those places look sweet. The only place close to me that has rocks is a place on Lake Erie called "Ghetto Beach". It is on a main route into the southtowns just outside of downtown Buffalo. There is easy access to the water but is all rocks, no sand. Lots of people launch jetskis there. It is nowhere near as picturesque since it is surrounded by old grain elevators and industrial zones.
I saw that chassis displayed on the Inet website awhile back.. Pretty sick.. $500 is alotta cake though, for a chassis & links...

Cool clod MSLY, good luck prying it from ImBrokens hands.
Nice Clod MSLY. I see both upper and lower links connected to the Axel. My JPS was set up like that when I got it and I had a problem with the tires hitting the cantilever and not much articulation without twisting the can't rod. It would also lean to one side under power because it could not stay centered. After putting a set of upper link mounts it had very good articulation and drove a lot better.

I noticed this myself, & couldn't get a grasp of what was preventing it from articulating.. After talking with NC, & seeing your post, I have a better understanding.. Any pics of your setup, so I can see what you did?

LOL, ok, I guess your right.
Check out this bad ass chassis, this is the one I want!

I would be a bit concerned sending $500 to Korea though. :shrug:
