Friend of ours color Xeroxed his street plate and clear taped it to his fender to do the Alligator D/S ride- worked fine. Hubby is co-driver on long trips as well as personal sweep- kind of irreplacable. Have yet to figure out how to lift the front wheel to cross those rain ruts w/o severe suspension compression on the other side... Also, have not had those automatic 6ft. leg extensions installed yet (where did the ground go?). Sand is like mud- just gas it! And if it scared you- the fear monster has a head start on me already!
