[QUOTE="LightBnDr, post: 694641, member: 9031"] I had been racing motocross for 6 years. Got my girlfriend pregnant and was working crazy hours just to fund my amateur motocross career as well as pay a mortgage. Needless to say I devoted zero time to a relationship. So we split, it was ugly. I sold everything I owned to cover attorneys fees and costs. Got custody of my daughter. Devoted my life to that little girl. Being an active guy I had to have something to do while she was in bed. Friend invited me to Clayton one weekend. I was hooked. Bought a 94' ZJ with a missing transfer case for $400. Chopped it up. Arc welded angle iron together to hang axles under it. Truly a hacked rig. Kept my mind busy while my little one was asleep or away for the evening. Broke EVERY single time on the trail. Always related to my poor welding skills. After a couple years I decided somehow I need to get ahold of a bare chassis or build one. Found a bare chassis online that had never been built. Used everything from the ZJ to build this one. Modified a bunch of the tube work myself. I was constantly broke so I traded work for almost everything to build our buggy, INITIALLY. Lol Now my oldest has grown to love driving and camping. It has kept my hands and mind busy during all of the stress of life. Has kept me from wadding up on a 114ft triple somewhere and keeping me from providing for my family. Has been a fun hobby. A lot of memories made. Time is flying by though. I wish it would slow down.
