A lot has been going on in the past couple of weeks. We are all making some changes. Camren Moureau from the dissolved Atomic 4x4 joins the Krawltex Team, and Ted is moving to JeepMasters. We wish Mr Morris the best and plan to keep him as part of our desert racing endeavors. Hopefully we will be in the next issue of Dirtsports in our red Tacoma, as part of the BRT's Inaugural race at Texana last month. Look for a three page spread on the race. Krawltex will also be in Crawl magazine soon. Look for Tony Arledge's rock buggy that we built from the ground up.

Work wise... well let's just say we have been more than swamped lately. Ted is almost wrapped up in Chris' AW4 TJ wiring and a CJ7 cage for Andrew. Chris has been knocking out some very trick TIG welded chromoly plate bracketry for Ed's FJCruiser 4 link. Camren M. and I have been working on Mike's Baja rack/exo-cage on his YJ. Rico is doing some finishing touches on Mack's CJ7. We have also had our hands in some leveling kits here and there, suspension maintenance for a few people, exhaust work for a Lightning, and other random projects... such as a telescoping projector A frame with a touch screen 4x6' Smart Board.

In the next few weeks we will be continuing the FJCruiser build with a Fuelsafe cell, interior roll cage, slider and rear bumper work. A Gen 2 4Runner will be in next week for a Total Chaos "Caddy" long travel suspension. The Osterhus SAS 1 ton Tahoe is in here for an interior roll cage. And another Wrangler is in for suspension upgrades.

In the mean time, here are some finished pics of the adjustable upper frame link brackets for Ed's FJ.
