I talked with Michael at Moab in 2007 regarding his Amigo. Even at that time, he was fairly seriously contemplating selling the rig. As he says in his ad, he wants to spend his resources and interest on his JK Expedition Rig, which is really quite a vehicle in its own right.

The Amigo is really a purpose-built rig. It is a rock crawler, but it really isn't quite a competition rig. While it is really stoutly built, it requires regular and serious maintenance.

Those of us who are on the dark side of 60, as Michael and I are, really have to regularly evaluate how we are going to spend are physical and financial resources. Michael has finally made a decision that has been a long time in coming.
