Here are some pics for you guys to enjoy before I come back and pick your brains about some issues I'm having.

Took a cruise out at Stanton Creek. The primitive camping area you can drive to inside the park. (Glen Canyon National Recreation Area)





And debuting new plates! :) I was worried about this but some people have been calling in SOAR EX 4 rather than the SOAR BY 4 I was intending. Oh well.

I love that last shot, on top of the rise looking down on the hood.  That rack looks like rocket launchers!

I have not been around here much, but came back today to see how things were going. It is nice to see your SX4 on the road again! I have been crazy busy working on these Mercedes-Benz Diesels, and have been on those forums. I don't have an Eagle anymore, and I sure do miss having one. One day maybe I will get another one.....Rich

Right...surely you can fit a Mercedes Diesel in an Eagle! And yes, I'm very happy to have it on the road. It still needs some things, but for the time being I'm just ignoring them! :)

Well my plan was to take the frame from my old SX4 and stretch it 14" so it fits under a 300D body. I know it will have nothing Eagle on it, but the frame did spend it's entire former life under an Eagle. ;D
