Well guys have had a few suggestions this being one of them and thought the time of year this build deserves it. These guys are building a Baja in Memory of a fallen brother. This is the season of giving and these three are doing one heck of a job. "This one is in memory of our friend Sasha"

This is the link, check out the thread. 75 baja project - in memory of our friend Sasha

that was one heck of a fast clean build, totally earned it. Keep it up, we want to see dirty pics!
give a man a watch and he'll allways know what time it is. give him two and he can never be sure again.

Things are rarely just crazy enough to work, but they're frequently just crazy enough to fail hilariously.

thank's you all guys i'm realy appreciate that, and at finally it's your choise.

in Israel there no a lot on dunes, but quarter of our counry is desert (the south of Israel). in the north alot of forests and streams, the it's more crowded.
don't try to compare that to glamis, as i know glamis it's huge!
