James & The Sahara Build Thread

Did a thing today, gotta regroup with the members of AO to ensure we are still on for friday, snow in the forcast.

Snow in the forcast and AO is pulling the plug on the trip. Bummer. Still waiting on the shorter links and the fox shocks so hoping to do shocks/bumpstops next week. Going to go on a local ride on saturday to just get outdoors :).

My peer ended up getting sucked into a hole and required a bit of winching :)

Found a pretty neat creek bed and took some photos, stinks I didn’t have that much travel. Quite stoked for new shocks.

Even though its a rutted out hillbilly fire road I had quite a bit of fun just driving around. Hopefully I’ll be able to get this rig out on some other trails soon.

I have someone very interested in purchasing the rack, although I wouldn’t get as much as I originally wanted. I may end up taking the lower amount so i could move forward and get the other equipment I want :) .
 
I've heard good things about the Ridge Grapplers. Looks like you had fun. Not so much fun cleaning up all the slop. Thanks for sharing the photos.
