The building of Bison

Your cutting your frame?? Is that because you don’t have your CO yet or how they need to be set up

The rears get cut and welded into the frame. The fronts screw into the existing coil bucket with a little modification. Eventually once the accutune coilovers arrive the coil buckets get cut off and replace with new mounts for the coil overs and the bumps.

With Covid slowing down the availability of the Accutune Coilovers, I decided to push forward on at least getting the Fox IPF bumps installed front and rear. I was hoping the fronts would have been here in time for the Drummond run this weekend, built only the rears came in today.

These are on my shortlist once I get my frame straightened. Let us know how they are!

I expected pictures, mud holes up to the tires and still trucking along. What’s up?

It was a quick one day family run. We did the whole marble head loop solo. It was a spectacular day and really dry for this time of year. Not many pictures, we only stopped at the beaches.

The first test run of the Ram and trailer were a success. The Ram barely noticed the trailer and Jeep and maintained 75 from Rochester to the mackinaw bridge. It average a little less than 10 MPG.

We had our first dinner out in months at Esters. It was great to be out again.

We did the Marblehead loop and fossil ledges on Saturday. The 40s walked right up all the ledges including the ledge at Marblehead. Those Nittos are so much better than my KM2s were.

Lots of awesome memories created with the kids and it was my wife’s first time up there on Drummond.

Hawk, my son, wanted to try a large my hole with out any recent tracks going in and out. I took him up on the challenge and remembered why I hate mud.

It powered thru it. It took a couple times backing up and pushing thru it, but the trail grapplers worked their magic and climbed out. But four low and locked up, the engine was really dogged down.

Loaded the jeep back up and headed home Sunday morning.

Wish I had time to run with RStRox and his group, but it was good to see everyone up there.

That's some happy kids and great memories right there.

The Jeep looks good on the trailer, like it belongs.

Glad to hear the ram did well, looks like a really fun trip. What else do you haul with that trailer?

Just the Jeeps. I bought the two place to be able to load two built Jeeps and have two drivers to tag team the run cross country. Or once my scramblers done, when ever the hell that is, I’ll be able to drag both of them up to Drummond or Rausch, or even Moab someday.

Really was great memories. I’ve never done a solo run like that where you can go at your own pace and relax. It really was an awesome day for the family.
