jc43089 Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 With the hobbyist plates you aren't supposed to drive in January, although keep them covered with road slop and snow spray and you should be fine. 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc43089 Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Not exactly, that's only to operate for 5 days. "6. If you need to use the vehicle for more than 5 days you will need to re-register the vehicle under the regular registration provisions" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends on how close the FBI guy following Jason around is paying attention to this end of days war wagon. Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides I'm mostly driving back roads anyways with an occasional stop at the Starbucks for a white gurl frappe. jc43089 and patsbimmer1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdesign Posted February 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Mmmm salty. :side note: The car heats up quick now with the coolant system and heater sorted. BUT, I have a few holes I need to plug to keep the air from coming in. Without interior panels it’s quite drafty.

Jdesign Posted May 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Drove this most of the winter. Heat worked great, traction was sketchy, but it was a blast. The light bar was the only thing that didn’t survive. The brackets were made from ACM, and I thought they would have been stronger but the cold made them brittle and it came down on the windshield one morning. So now I mounted it to the bumper with metal brackets. It will be more usable here anyways, as before snow, rain, and dust would blind my sight with it on. Now I won’t be able to run into random shopping carts and road cones without risking damage but oh well. 😕 I also had to trim a brake shield in the rear. With that, it gave me an opportunity to try out my new shipping scale. These tires are BOAT ANCHORS! P_Roloff, B C and m42b32 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 If you ever have grandkids, show them these photos. You will be their hero until they realize it was not only gasoline powered, but a V8, and they will forever blame you for everything. 65.8 lbs… Try running helium in the tires?

Jdesign Posted May 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 A good friend of mine shoots rally and off-road race events for fun. I asked him if we could get some shots of this thing. Here are the results. If you are looking for epic pictures of off-road vehicles I suggest you contact Andy. https://noggsphotography.com/ P_Roloff, GunMetalGrey, KaiserRolls and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REKIII Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 That thing looks super cool AND amazing. You need to go full Dan Bilzerian in that last pic and take the shirt off. There are Lady wibimmer members too.....I think....well....probably not. But if Ramplesauce comes back he'll like it.

Jdesign Posted October 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 Had a friend over the other day with his new drone. Convinced me we should take this car somewhere cool. Found a crazy place that reminds me of Mars 10mins from my shop. Spent about 3-4 hours there driving around and filming. Not sure when I will have all the footage edited, but man it was epic. Here’s some pictures from my phone. (Also I got stuck 🤣) It rained last night, but here is the aftermath.
