got my racepack in from Wide Open Design yesterday! got the dash pretty well finished, few minor things left to do. its alil spartan but very functional, easy to reach when strapped, and i have some long ass legs and need all the space possible for ingress and egress. there will be a few additions to command area later in week.

hooded dash mount for alil weather protection

Looking forward to meeting you and your buggy, you've got lots of sweat poured into in that sombitch.... I heard you've been on the phone with Rocky and I hope he's plenty helpful.... If you need any help or troubled advice feel free to give us a call, and good luck with the rest of the build!

Nice rig. Sheet works excellent.

Matt, that is one well thought out rig. I know you have probably made many changes from what you first conceived but it is coming together in awesome fashion. I am looking forward to seeing that thing on the trail and seeing what it can do. Keep up the great work.

 

[mcutler]

Thanks again guys for all compliments. I hope it works as good as its gonna look. Not a super trick rig as far as performance, just tried and true components that should make for a dependable yet FULL THROTTLE fun unit! I can't friggn wait to get this bitch on the trail.
