Hello Rustlovers!

Just a quick update on the impending gambler 500. Team Gon’ Postal is officially a seven man team with 2 rally cars and 2 chase cars.

Car #1: The Lifted Legend

I got the legend for free a couple of months ago and here’s what we’ve done so far:

Formulated a plan.

Austin and I took a hard look at the suspension and sketched up some spacers.

Austin welded up some chromoly coil spring spacers and Competitive Metals cut us some full suspension spacers for the rear. We also had to relocate and shim the rear upper control arms and pull the bumpers for clearance.

With the 2″ hybrid body/suspension lift installed, the Legend actually has more ground clearance than the Jeep.

We got the sponsor stickers and the roof rack installed and changed the oil changed, smog check passed and registration paid.

It’s getting some mud terrains today. Then it just needs a front skid plate and some off road lights.

Car #2: The postal jeep.

Got some SERIOUS off road lights.

Sponsor stickers.

The new paint job is coming along thanks to Rage. Now it just needs tires, a heater core and to fix that pesky headlight gremlin.

Although I have yet to monetize this blog I do want to give a quick shout out to:

-Innovative Cold Storage Enterprises Inc. for sponsoring team Gon’ Postal and our trail cleanup effort. Their dedication to environmental stewardship is inspiring.

-Express tire and service center in Santee for hooking us up with a discount and nitrogen in he tires.

-Competitive Metals in El Cajon for cutting out chromoly

-Gest Gibby and Stephanie Nelson, organizers of the Gambler500 socal

-You, the readers for allowing me to also sponsor these 2 cars through the freemodelt brand and Siko Jeeps.

Thanks, Rustlovers! ABG
