I will check out your build thread (wish list) over on thenewx for sure. 

We will be putting together a group to go to Moab in May of 2012, you should check it out.  That should give you enough time to throw on some sliders, skids, and tires.

Thanks...those are original NXRocks solid sliders, not available anymore. 

Remy Telaga (original owner of NXRocks before he sold it to Chris at Hefty Fabworks) made them for a short time.  I have thought about replacing them with Shrockworks sliders, and if I do will let you know.

Yeah that would be huge because I like these the best out of any others I have seen! Do you have enough space to stand on them and reach the roof??

Thanks Terry!

Haha, yeah great story behind that photo.  AZTed was running Greasy Spoon Trail behind me and mentioned a "posing rock" up ahead on the trail, and instead of driving "next to it" as instructed I "drove onto" it.  A great day for sure.

Terry...that is AZ-Ted, Ted Dangler.  Looks like he is attending the Rattlesnake Canyon run, so hopefully you can meet him then.  Very cool dude.

Yeah, it's a guy I used to know...in a galaxy far, far, away.  What's up Danny, nice to see you still check the boards!  Is the family or the Air Force keeping you busy these days?
