I'm sure the time drags over there. Ground Hog day kind of thing. Good thing is that it sounds like you have plenty of equipment to work on which will sharpen your skills. That or make you really inventive!

I could use a Global Gym t-shirt.

Last time I got home I drove 6hrs each way to pick up my camaro, I would rather have a huge crate with a case of beer on the end of it waiting for me in my driveway this time.

I have been trying to stay sharp out here. Using a ready welder that plugs into the 24V truck system isnt the same as my Miller I have at home. And there is something about using a Gas Saw to make precision cuts that makes things a little difficult as well. But we manage and its fun, not to mention the stuff we are making looks pretty sick when we get done. Nothing like getting close to the max weight capacity of an Side-by-Side ATV. Its also fun when your clutch decides to literally break into two perfect halves.....IN THE MIDDLE OF A RIVER! Gotta love this place!

Question of the day-

I am decided on the AME front clip. I am probably going to upgrade from a 17"x8" to a 18"x10". I currently have the AME Tri-4bar rear.

Does anyone have suggestions on Brakes? I've been leaning toward Wilwood. I've also been debating Baer and KORE3 set ups.
-Im thinking 13" 6P up front and a 12" 4P rear.
-I will also be needing a master cylinder set up, I've seen a few different set ups. Does anyone have the pros and Cons to the different systems?

I highly recommend Tobin @ KORE3 for your brake setup, great guy to deal with. I'm in the same boat as you regarding a master cylinder setup, I really should ask Tobin! I've been looking at DSE, ABS Power brake, CPP and Hydratech!

I looked to see what everyone was running at RTTC 3 this last weekend and a lot of guys where running BAER 6p's. I'm looking into that a bit more and will let you know what I find.

I'm in AFG, where I'm at right now there aren't any of those magical blimps flying. There was a lot more of them in Iraq when I was there.

I'm fairly surprised with the number of people on LG that work with the military in some capacity. Thank you to everyone who supports us, and helps us get our jobs done over here!

cool, there are 60 something of them now, Army loves them,
