I acquired the bent draglink a loooooong time ago and have not had a need to replace it. Thanks for the compliments, I am ready to get it out and play. It has been a long six week build and we still have a few bugs to work out. Did anyone notice the 300 plus pound rear bumper and skidplate that will fend off a small locomotive? We also cut the rear quarters off 8 inches and replaced the lower factory edge to allow the bumper to wrap around for protection. We also built a custom skid/crossmember for the doubler. We still need to add the 203 mounts this week (we ran out of time). We had a great show and look forward to great things this year. This show was the debut of our traction device which is in the patent process. We have been working on it for over a year now and have it ready to sale. It works similar to those with a shackel without the shackel and with no bind due to the center over the driveshaft mounting. It requires less than 3 inches at the upper end and we even managed to get it in without using the large floor cutout in the SUB. It is available as a kit and is a simple bolt in upgrade for maximum traction control. Thanks to everyone who visited us at the booth, it was nice to put faces with user names. The Spring event has always been a light truck event and they just added the offroad portion this year. I expect better manufacturer turnout in the offroad segment in the years to come.

Ed,
Sorry about the missed call, we have been putting in 18 plus hour days getting everything ready for the show. We had several unexpected delays including the Jet performance chip dying as we were loading the Burb on the trailer 6 hours before departure. I will try and give you a ring this week.

Steve made one mistake in the spec sheet. It was late and not enough sleep. The NV4500 is a 1998 version with 5.61 first gear and Hydraulic Throwout. Also keep your eyes peeled on ESPN2 Outdoor Channel for an upcoming MOO Commercial. Steve got in front of the camera.

I did not sleep much and when I did I woke up wondering if it would ever get done
The displays for the SEMA show did not get built until the two days prior and the paint was still wet when we assembled them. I do not plan on cutting it that close ever again.

Those bumpers looked pretty familiar to me.
