Off-Road Ranger I
I feel ya there! I try my best to stay well aware on the tight trails, windows down, music low. Had a couple close calls & more than a few looks that screamed "You even allowed here?!"
Any Fellow Michigander?

Hadn't thought about the issue of atvs and dirt bikes much. So real tree camo is probably a bad choice of paint from that aspect. Especially due to the overall lacking of a hood "crumple zone". Thanks mike all I needed was more things to consider in my project. But if it saves some ones life in the woods a few days of paint scheme thought are well worth it.

I met the front of a truck while riding my quad (at a lot more speed than I'd have liked) a while back, just one of those funny little things that rattle around in the back of my mind 
Looking forward to seeing that project of yours in action, so now this might be a dumb question... but do you have a build thread or photo/video gallery somewhere...?

I thought that was the infamous Forward Frank from Roam Auto in your avatar. I know it was sold to someone in the LP but they are by Detroit.

Badass! I'm so hyped for 2018I had one over on greatlakes4x4.com but the photbucket fail happened and I haven't taken the time to re host and link all the pictures for multiple years of build.
It will on the UP trip next summer.
I lost most of my old ZR2 prerunner build photos from that too. Now I'm using skynet photos- ...err I mean Google photos, also Imgur which is becoming rather ubiquitous thanks to reddit.

Upload them to the website forum. We can start a new build thread there [emoji3]. I'm interested in seeing some as well.I had one over on greatlakes4x4.com but the photbucket fail happened and I haven't taken the time to re host and link all the pictures for multiple years of build.

Nope not the forward frank, similar though except rolling on 1 ton axles , dual t-cases and a V8.
I'll work on a build page here. I saved off all the formats and pictures before the other place crashed so it shouldn't be to hard. Now back to the 65 degree barn to continue the work.

I will look into right now. Sorry about that. I can run it as an article on the site if you want (?) and still have it available.Nick the Michigan overland forum isn't working correctly.
Spend a couple hours recreating the build thread there then hit post and it tosses me a 404 error and a few wasted hours.
in the beginning it was this:
nah I'll just make sure to copy it off into a word document the next attempt at creating it. Then I can just copy paste all the image links. I am not an article worthy writer or builder.

Okay. It's weird because it does show up when I log in but it doesn't have any pictures attached.

I try to do the same since I've lost a few draft posts here & on the 4BT forums, although I think maybe my issue was from the connection between the chair & the keyboard...
And if that truck that looks a bit like a shipwreck is what you started with then I'm not sure that last sentence can be accurate :P
Yep that was the starting point. I'll attempt to get the majority of the build thread recreated both on the michigan overland page and here today if all works out as planned.
get on board for the up trip next summer Juan98

I think that Tinker, Michiganoverland and RyanC are trying to plan a trip to the UP for next summer. I think the general plan is to try and go end to end of the UP avoiding paved roads and checking out the sights along the way.
