jack of all trades build, overland, dunes, rocks, trails
Yep, Kerts reentered 8 bolt H1’s. The rock rings I had him make to mimic the GM PYO? aluminum HD wheels.
The tires are some butchered (someone tried cutting them with a carving tool) Swampers that really are probably only good for rocks...Same tire as I have on the aluminum slots.
I think I should have done the center black and the outer rings orange/yellow
Kinda amazed that just 2-1/2 weeks ago it was blown apart for paint and upgrades....and got most of them done.

You are the guy that I had faith In!
Good job Dave!
Good job Dave!
Not complaining makes her a 10/10!
Hey Dave, are those inner deck traction ramp things something you fabbed up?
I was eyeing that too...
Yes, although steep, they work well to get over the fenders. Picked up the ramp material from my local steel supply store, and cut/weld to fit my trailer. Removable in 10-15 minutes for a narrower track width car. Galvanized too.
That stuff is called Grip Strut.
I was hoping they would show up on time. These days you never know when it comes to shipping.
Installed new DIY4X spring plates, U bolts and D60 studs before leaving Kerts shop yesterday, left at 11am then it was 1050mi to Moab. Trip went well, got some snow/ice over the Rockies, and made it to Moab about 8am today.
BB20 was a great success. The Maiden worked great...surely much better than the driver!
Only issue was a fitting on the steering box leaked....couple ounces of fluid a day kept it happy. Need to dis-assemble the pitman shaft/cap for repair.
A self inflicted christening dent for the fender first day out, brought safe travels the rest of the weekend! Chinese fenders fold like tin foil. That was on Backwards Bill or 7 mi. Rim, not sure what trail Wade took us on, but it was a great trail.
The Gauntlet rear bumper held off any other damage while on our side in Hells Gate/Hells Revenge. Also went on Flat Iron Mesa, all great trails!
Other than a few branch marks down the sides, that was it for bodywork!

I think it's time for a burnout video!
He made an awesome burnout on Hell’s Revenge. Unfortunately I couldn’t get my camera out quick enough.
