My Alibaba skills aren't strong. But that one is gas powered, and the original one was electric. Maybe I should just find a Jeep style body to swap onto my EZGO golf cart I use to chauffeur my daughter to the neighborhood pool and parks.

Ah, yeah, I can't find that electric version. But they prob have them somewhere in China I would guess.

The gas powered one, some guy on Youtube drove it a long distance into Moab. It was nuts!

Had a fun Sunday/ Monday. @Lonewolf and, thought his username was choptop but can't find it, along with there buddy in a toyota invited me to join them on a rubicon run. We went in Sunday at 9am and had to battle some traffic coming off the trail, we saw @mvigo on the way out on the slabs.

Highlight of the day was all of us made it up soup bowl. Hopefully @Lonewolf has a photo. We camped at rubicon springs and made our way out this morning.

Had a great time. Thanks for thr invite @Lonewolf.

Very, very cool, Alex. Wife and Kids go along?

No they stayed at home. It was a boys trip. Rubicon springs, on the flats especially, would be awesome spot for kids / grand kids though. It's right on the river and has lots of swimming opportunities.

Damage report.


Hit the corner armor at some point. Don't know when or where.

Both lower control arm mounts took a beating. This is the worse of the two. Im thinking ill cut them off and put something with a bit more beef on.

Driver side ujoint lost a cap. Same side as before moab. I never replaced the outer shaft so it was likely just still bent enough. I need to replace with parts on hand.

I first heard it at the end of the trail. It was already wollowed out so it likely happened the prior day.

It's a bit daunting for a moment then you get your passenger slider to anchor you to the rock. After that you feel pretty safe.
