Just picked this up. Driven it onto the trailer and off and into the garage.

Just sold ours
Have fun with it!
I like to have both a SxS and a square 4x4, they serve different purposes.

The jimmy is built not bought, this one is the opposite. It also is making me organize the garage.

Tire carrier and tailgate installed. They broke the bracket for the rear view mirror so they are sending it to me. Wife got her helmet. and we got a cover for the machine when transporting it.
The mirror will probably not be useable with the tire in the way so it may go on the jimmy.
Had to get a hitch that was 2 inch drop instead of the 6 inch drop that I have in the pics.

It's my wife's truck. She hates the rims. I want to get them painted or powder coated. I think black with the front edge of the fins green or chrome would look good. We constantly get offers to buy the truck or the rims.

Put 15 miles on it so far, went to a couple County/Forest Service roads yesterday until snow and closed gates stopped us. Being fairly nice to it until break in is done. It's a fun little buggy, Wife likes driving it.
Once you get used to those, going in a full size is hard.

Ran Slaughterhouse Gulch today, yep suspension works well, got a little sideways tippy once and one good climb. Wife drove some too! The switch to go from 2 wheel drive to 4x4 and engage the diff lock is nice.

I had mine out last weekend and it still shocks me how capable these things are.

I remember when we'd run Slaughterhouse on the regular, been years now since I ran it.

Would be fun in the jimmy, just a little tight with some of the trees. Lived 20 minutes away for 10 years and this is the first time I have run it.
I've always been kinda amazed at how fast you can go comfortably compared to full size vehicles.
