Aw damn... if the Tracker could drive long distances I'd be there in a heartbeat (give 'er one good last beating before parking it for a couple years :().

What the heck, "I don't see why I can't make a detour that way on the 25th for Extreme Rock Crawling-Stock & Modified Stock Classes." That is if there's not alot of carnage done to my truck from wheeling in Texas. It would be the long way home but worth it. 8)

A Suzuki is in 1st place going into the Modified Stock Class finals. Suziki stand-out Jason Miller has placed 1st in every modified stock comp so far.

Scroll through the pics or hit home and see all the pics. With the person standing next to Mike's rig, this gives you details as for the overall height of it.

In those pics you can see how much gear we had to carry. Look close in the back... the rear is squated 2 or 3 inches. :P

You couldn't have timed it any better getting repainted That bright Orange.
How did you like running the BFGs?

Im still running the BFGs. I cant imagine running anything else. They are truly unbelivable. the side lugs will crawl out of almost any rut and they pull so hard up the hills. its like running a bogger but the dont saw down. In the mud they are also impressive. Only downside I can think of is that the pull a little hard down the freeway. The little 1.6L has a harder time turning these than the goodyears. :-/ Doesnt matter though, they are worth it. I will never run another tire.

You got to keep them. Cool. What happened to your MTR's? Has anyone been back in touch with you to shoot some pics of your rig for the mag?

The MTRs are going onto a new project rig that I will be doing a write up on for Zukiworld! ;) stay tuned...
