Well, I found the famous picture of our favorite SAS-Rodeo-ed Texan out in Moab. This picture was lovingly taken by Damon on the Moab Rim Trail. Curtis was slightly top heavy that day.

Best part is, I was standing off to the side and downhill of Curtis when this particular moment happened. If any of you are familiar with the Z-turn, you know how this is all laid out. I had a great view all the way underneath.

Kev,
Any pics of the migo w/ the 33's on.....

I guess they spell 'finesse' a little different in Texas.

Definition of "finesse" : A 300 lb.tool box in the rear of the Rodeo next to the tail gate. Lashed down of course. (Plays havock with center of gravity. (I wanted to be prepared to help out anybody with break downs. I was well prepared.) Not to mention both gas cans were full and that is a 35" tire hanging on the back.)
I find it amusing that the bottom of front tires are higher in the air than the top of the rear. The angle of the Rodeo from level made for a high pucker factor.
Thanks Kevin and Damon. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> You
can be sure I am going to frame that one. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Once I laid down the rear seat and scooted that tool box up behind the drivers seat it balanced out very nicely. The rest of the trail went without incident.

p.s.
Went to the Eye Doctor today. Says my eye is healing well ahead of schedule. I have 20/30 in the right eye now, but it's still very fuzzy. Still have two more months recuperation to go.

A nice poser shot of my migo sitting on top of some slickrock. I *THINK* this was during one of the Crawloweens.

Oh, and Curtis, I dunno if I would go so far as to say you were stable the rest of the day. Damon and I were right behind you most of the trail and waiting for you to just flop over!

Yea, but I think that was before I moved the tool box forward.

Boy, I can't believe you guys had these pictures that long. Now I've got the hots to go back and try that trail again. THANKS Kevin
See what you guys are in for? Moab, builds strong bodies 10 ways. Or, Maybe we should call this one "Pumping Iron"
How many days on the count down?

ZooMigo,

Is that a custom bumper?

Yup, custom bumper. Long story, the digest version is I wanted something light, stong and unique. Worked with a local shop to get it made. RockWare made it for me, they are online if you wanna look em up.

Also, poke around in that directory if you're interested. There are more pics there.

Is the cost of the bumper similar to ARB and Calmini? I like the looks better than either of those two. It doesnt look as heavy IMO.

I second the request for "How much for the very cool front bumper?" ! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
