Thanks! They really do all around.

Awesome moment tonight. Out and about taking my daughter to a beach here near home. I was walking across the parking lot and had to do a double take as a Patrol pulled in.

We got to check it out and chat with the owner. I believe he is on here. Nice meeting you Matt!

Interestingly enough I also came across another locally tucked behind a fence at a mechanics lot.

It looked pretty clean and complete. Had AZ tags and a palm tree leaf looking camo paint job. Does anyone recognize this patrol?

Very cool sightings! I think I recall seeing the camp one for sale a while ago.

I was able to finish blasting the axles today (ran out of glass media last time. Got a nice coat of paint on them tonight and I am smiling ear to ear looking at some fresh clean axles!

I have one axle mount that has some rot in the middle. I’ll need to go back and replace or patch this.

Getting some disc brake components painted up. This steel it paint is spendy but it’s very durable.
