I started out taking pics, I even had my daughter take a few for me when I thought about it. She hasn't quite figured out the "hold still while you take the picture" part just yet But I do have a few. My problem is the pictures are too big to load, I am not sure how to get around that yet.

Download and install this image resizer powertoy from Microsoft: http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe

Now, when you right click on your pictures you can quickly resize them. (default settings make a duplicate picture, so you won't resize the original)

You can email them to me for resizing if you wish, you need to post some of it not on a trailer or lawn too

I might have some pictures of it ozzing gas on the tire stuck on a rock somewhere, I will have to look though

Those were a couple of the first pics I took as I have neared my present state of completion.

I followed your buggy buildup, that was a nice rig too, not sure why it had to go but I am sure you had your reasons. The Bruisers are not a "serious" trail rig, not a comp buggy by any means, but they look nice and do very well on the trails. I did not spend $170,000.00 on this Bruiser, but I have tried to make it look nice where I could.

Me too! There was obviously substantial time spent making that look that clean.
