Acora = Ed. All the guys from "The Shop" are pretty much I was referring to in that post. Which reminds me I should call Ed. Been too long since we caught up!

I had no idea someone made glass for these things. The one I kept seeing at Huckfest was really cool. I wanted to get a photo but could never get my camera out in time.

I've always liked little 4wd's like these....

I am eyeing a motor swap from a Suzuki aerio. Apparently the motors bolt up to the sidekick trans and has almost double the HP.

You won't regret it! Haha. They are fairly inexpensive to own and run forever. Being so light helps parts last a lot longer.

Looks like you're having fun! Oh and great song choice too!

Crazy to see the flex of the cab vs. the top. About 1:45 - 2:00 shows it pretty well, but you can see it all the way through that last camera angle.
