10x10 is pretty tough. I wonder if just running some videos behind you on a TV would work out as a backdrop?

Which would be killer if we had said videos and said TV 🤣
They’re going to run some video on the screen of the stage so that’s good.
I just need peeps to come hang out. That’s the obvious solution.

I've got a 55" TV that could be lent for the cause. Can one make a playlist in YouTube or similar to display on a screen?
Maybe you're just sticking with the G-string and a 40" comp tire on a beadlock?
Got the aluminum mount pucks from WOD just now. I’m going to have these welded onto the side of my radiator for mounting purposes. I just have to find a guy to do that, remove the old outlet/inlet and weld in the new outlet/inlet.
Pretty neat little pieces though. Like a fidget toy for men.

Sounds like a job for @zmotorsports
If Mike has time I’d be glad to have him do it.

It's probably been to Maverik at least a dozen times!
At least once. I’m surprised I didn’t see you there 🤣
I saw your wife’s comment about Nielsen’s opening and I almost said “cool, another place for me to run into Bryson” but didn’t want her to be like who the f is this guy 🤣

She thinks that about all my friends, so no biggie.

I can just see you each night before bed, explaining all of the weird comments and encounters from your oddball collection of friends.She thinks that about all my friends, so no biggie.

Yeah, well.... that's actually pretty accurate.
I had to help my pops replace his water heater today so I got a very late start on the buggy but I did get a couple floor tubes in place and I’m happy with them. The floor over the trans and on the passenger side is going to be cake with these and I’m happy about that.
The 2 I put in place are basically what you’d call the trans tunnel. They’re level with the main rocker tubes and the floor can be flat over the trans for all but the bellhousing basically. I’ll do tubes from the dash bar down to those to cover that and cover the exhaust/intake at once.
The reason I only got those done was my 10 y/o took interest in our latest electric project at random. He wanted to tear down our “new” razor mx125 so we can mod it. This is the smallest dirt rocket they make and it’s a measly 12v and I think 100W motor. We’re going to mod it like the mx350’s we have with (2) Ryobi batteries (40V) and a 350W motor from an mx350. It’s going to scooooot since it’s so much lighter than a 350. Anyways, dork stuff.

I kept trying to talk myself out of garage time today lol but I made it. Then I couldn’t decide what to work on so I just picked random stuff. I made the tubes from the front shock tube down to the frame. Those top notches were a pain.
Then I threw the hood on because I’m a dork and like doing that on occasion.
Still love the hood.
Then I couldn’t figure out what else to do so I just tore out the rear axle and welded. And welded. And welded some more. I even got the rear bumper slugged with some 1.25” DOM and put on 8 tube caps. The rear end really looks a lot more “finished” now and I love it. I’m exhausted 🤣

I too am a visual learner. Looks awesome!
I got these beauties back from my guy! Ratchet strap tie rods are the bees knees.
That made me want to mount all 4 tires and remove axle stands. It doesn’t make sense and I’ll have to pull them again but whatever it’s cool. This is the first time I’ve had it this assembled and I like it. It looks like a buggy. This is ride height obvi.
I’m like 3 minutes of work away from being able to do a full bump pic but then I’d have to work the jackstands back under the chassis afterwards and I didn’t want to take that sketchy crap on tonight. Maybe this weekend. Full bump pics are life.
One last pic for reference. The homeless guy is 6’6” tall. The tallest part of the chassis (b pillar) is just under 5’10”.
She’s little.

Freak I almost forgot the only important part 🤣
I knew this tube would be close with the tire at full lock and bump. This is tire rubbing the link and bump and it’s close- which means when on course or trail it will almost definitely hit. So I need to cut it and replace it with a straight piece that’s mounted inboard on the back side. Not a big deal but still work I have to do.
