The Circuit Rider is .... Home

I drove home the Circuit Rider today. After fixing the front and reinstalling the Pan Hard Bar and Shocks correctly ... it drives the way it should.

Thanks - when I was 18 I hated that color. In my old age the color has grown on me.

Funny how some colors or even some models of cars/trucks grow on you after a few years.

I find myself wanting things that I wouldn't have given a second look at back in the day.

Just curious why a body shop was messing with your shocks and panhard bar?

The Egyptian is way more than a body shop.

The front steering was messed up and the Pan Hard Bar and shocks were not installed properly. WES could explain this much better than I but before it was corrected when driving about 45-55mph it felt really squirrely ... now it steers and handles great ... as well as a 70 C10 can drive.

I've never been a fun of pretty much anything green, but I absolutely love the Circuit Rider.
