Is This Flatfender Too Clean To Wheel? | Harry Situations

Dan Aguilar runs Sierra Valley Axle and Gear and spends his days wrenching on everything from snowmobiles to dump trucks, so he knows his way around a dial indicator and a torque wrench. Dan wasn’t going to pay anyone to assemble the drivetrain in his one-ton flatfender on 40-inch Nitto Mud Grapplers, that was the easy part. Now the suspension setup, stretched tub, paint, and wiring on the other hand were not quite as easy though! Dan wanted this Jeep to be perfect, so he took his time and learned new skills as he needed them, with plenty of help from his father Oscar and friends in the Outcast Crawlers. After all of this time and effort you might think that Dan would have second thoughts about wheeling his Jeep hard, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Dang, that reverse 3 link has my brain on fire

The tube work is unreal on this Willys. Sweet build!

[@adriancollins4747]

Awesome Jeep! Built to wheel. If you don't wheel it, you will deny it life. Give it life & wheel, wheel, & wheel some more.

[@jakubstrumillo]

I seen it on few videos and and i think its beautifull! Reminds me old Jeep Jumboree builds and famous Ugly Jeep in his vintage/modern mixture.

[@MatthewHarrington72]

Do you guys have a link to sierra valley axle and gear? Is he based here in Reno? Rancho Cordova is what I keep coming up with.

[@HarrySituations]

He is actually in the little town of Vinton up near Portola. I can get you his contact info if you would like it.

@@HarrySituations aw, I thought the area looked familiar. I did see the number on the side of his rig. I tried to Googling it too. When I'm ready to take the next step, I will most definitely reach out. Thanks though.
