Got a little closer over the last few days with some tuning. Running into starter issues with heat soak. We've wrapped the header and are going to a gear-reduction unit to hopefully remedy that situation. Starter issue caused us to miss our tune appointment this Tues, unfortunately that...

It runs: Sorry for the quality, I'm out of town on business so my buddy that is doing the majority of the build had to send me the vid. -TJ

Is it possible to get on the backup list? Full size with a FWC, not scared of and don't mind trail stripes. -TJ

In addition to my street-legal Overland rigs, I've had a slew of RZRs (out here on the West Coast we call them SxSs or UTVs, to me ATVs is a "four wheeler" you ride, not sit in and drive). Anyway, I sold my last RZR a year or so ago, because I've had a Speed (Robby Gordon's new company) on...

It seems like a score for the money!!! Do you know of any current issues with it? What are your plans for it? I don't think most people realize the Liberty is a pseudo body-on-frame, solid rear axle rig with a real transfer case (and 4LO) and a great, underappreciated platform. -TJ

Got the camper back on and took it and my RV to the Mint 400 for a shakedown (@orange01z28 for scale): The top of the FWC popped up is nearly as high as the RV. I’m going to bring the front back down an inch or two, then set the rear air to match which will get the four link bars...
