    12' Gecko Build

    Yeah last I heard the body is off I'm going to see if I can get some pictures along the way. For the motor swap purposes I swapped back in a sport transfer case. For reasons robby explains on YouTube in depth. But while I had the rubi case it was very nice. And I only went 4.88 on the 37s so...

    Fishing Jeepers...Post Up Your Pics

    Honestly reminded me of a lot of places I've fished in Idaho. We were about an hour south of mendoza. So still a bit north of Patagonia. Probably the smallest bit of water I've ever caught fish in but there was fish every little pool. Definitely a different kind of fly fishing trying to shoot...

Researching the junkyard alxe route the BJ delete seems to a be fairly common thing to do. Just curious about the pros and cons from the people who have used...

    Rubicon Sway Bar vs EVO NO LIMITS

    or buy the no limits and sell the working motor to offset the cost. 😎 Honestly i like the no limits better than waiting for the computer to lock / unlock. just dont forget to re-connect before getting on the highway (done that a time or two) one downfall of not having a fancy button inside
