Here are some pics of the finished Little Sluice.  Actually I don't think it looks that bad.  It sort of looks like it did before the buggy craze in the early to mid-90's.

In one of Rick Russels video's they drove a H1 right through. Wasn't easy but it made it on it's own power and not to much sheet metal damage.

Nope, IIRC that was his 2nd or 3rd video. Early 90's.

Yeah, I was thinking he hadn't gone a video since the mid 90's.

Also turns out the old tree actually fell last winter.  I thought they cut it.   :'(

...the buggy craze in the early to mid-90's.



Around here, the buggy craze seems to be just starting.  A few have been around for a while but it seems to have taken off recently with 3 new builds and a few more taken out of storage.  Also a few new Jeeps on 40s or close to it.

At least it wasn't cut down.  Still, too bad, it was an icon of the Rubicon.
