Happy Veteran's Day!!!

In honor of all the men and ladies that serve and have served in the armed forces, thank you! Krawltex offers a standing 10% discount to military, police, fire fighters, and EMT's.

Our next project is helping one of our own, Colby Mathes who was called back to the military. His LJ has been sitting on jack stands for nearly a year. Krawltex will be donating our free time to getting the 1 tons, stack case, and possibly a new cage in there for his return to Texas.

In case you haven't visited the forum, Krawltex has accomplished something rather unheard of in our industry.

Akamu Whatley rolled his Jeep at the Canyons/Crawling Chaos Event. Two days later, we got a new frame, tub, and hood from Ray Karrick of Jeep Masters. Together with a whole bunch of help from our friends, we built a Pro Mod buggy in 10 days with his existing drivetrain... 5.7L Hemi, Auto, Klune, NP205, 14" SAW Coilovers, Superduty axles with RCV front shafts, full hydro.

A very sleepy crew finished the buggy at 2AM Novemeber 7th, loaded it on the trailer after a few hot laps around the parking lot, drove to Spring, Texas, passed tech inspection at 8AM, and used the first high speed lap as our "shake down". Out of ten competitors at the Spring Creek Rock Race, we finished first in our class by almost three minutes! Bringing home a trophy after a 10 day build made it all worth it.
