ok everyone, Just got back from the expo and sad to say it was definitely smaller than last years. not that that was a bad thing. all the vendors that actually did attend seemed all-together more friendly and trying to work with customers buying their products. Its hard times for everyone and we all know that. It was only 2 and most of a 3rd buildings plus all the stuff outside.

anyways onto the pics

this just made my day but im sure you all should know who this awesome guy is :notworthy got a personalized autograph too!

and his truck

cool little tire tread shift knobs

old school McMillin buggy

ok and these axles were EVERYWHERE. all the big names had them. a guy told me he thought they were turned up dana 60s or something like that? any input???

Im guessing theyre a Currie product? here it is on one of their vehicles. same as the close up pic right above ^^

cool hummer

The McNeil Racing booth with loads and LOADS of fiberglass on sale

McNeil showing off their fab skills.... hahaha

and of course gotta pay homage to the cool strollers!!! :

A new version of "Big Oly"

And then there was this thing....HOLY C-R-A-P....

yes, those are 54's....rockwells, 4 wheel hydraulic steering, triple stick 4 speed, the works. Built by Randy's Offroad in Azusa, CA.

Though this trailer was pretty cool. the entire rack is removable and makes into a flatbed trailer

Some Fiberworks CARBON FIBER fenders for a ranger..

And we all remember the twin turbo buckshot from last year. well now they had this one next to it....

but this one is supercharged

this poor bronco all alone in the back by the Dodge booth

California 200 memorial

Dezert Rangers made it out with their black camburg ranger

I never realized how small the pro lite trucks were....

And of course, the best part!! the free swag!!

all-in-all it was a good show. and heres the link to my album with the rest of the pictures I took:

Also, I was talking to one of the guys from Radflo shocks and he was telling me about one of their new shocks they had there thats not on their website yet.. Its their coilover or smoothbody "RAW" series they just came out with. its basically their race shock without the race piston and different valving AND its not anodized, hence the RAW name... he said they are about the price of FOAs just a lot better! thought that was pretty sweet.

did you end up going?

 

[Keeper0311]

I did sir. Showed up at around 11. Walked about for a like three hours. Glad you got a picture of the Wounded Warrior H3. Pretty cool ride.

You still coming out to the Main Divide run?

 

[grant00]

yeah that thing was really sweet and for a great cause too.

Im still planning on it yes.

 

[FROADER]

Nice pics, Grant. It's a bummer that the show is getting so small.

I believe those axles are Currie's "Rockjocks."

Didn't get any pictures as i didn't have my camera, but although it was kind of small it was pretty good.

Here's the build thread to that orange and blue ranger, in case anyone's interested:
http://www.dezertrangers.com/vb/dr-rides/89900.htm

The red KW Fabworks ranger is my friend's bro-in-law's truck...very nice truck to say the least, running a 5.0.

McNeil had pics of Colin's and Tom's old trucks at their booth.

I was hanging around the dezert rangers booth for a while cuz my friend was working there, so you might have walked right by me. That black and orange ranger has a Saleen built 4.0 SOHC (stroked to a 4.2) waiting to go in.
