Penrose shakedown run
So I went down to Penrose today and ran liberty and patriot. I will say that not wheeling for a year made the Rocks look huge. I went up there with a few guys from the board as well as some people I don't know from adam. All were super cool and my truck performed as well as I could have wanted. 100% happy with the suspension axles and all the upgrades and fab work.

Re: Penrose shakedown run
I'm definitely happy with the build. I need to cut a little sheet metal Bob the front bumper and do a little more tuning . Other than that I'm pretty happy. I can't wait to stretch it and 4 link
