    *competition Buggy Stolen, Keep An Eye Out*

    Hal Frost has been an active member in the overbuilt Grand community for as long as it's been around. So much so, that he built his competition buggy to look like a WJ, and spent a fortune doing it. I've wheeled with this rig, it's probably my favorite buggy in the world, and Hal's just a cool guy. His rig is one of the 3 buggies on the MallCralwin.com calendars.

    If you see anything pertaining to this rig, whether it's parts that were on it for sale, perhaps sold by someone who doesn't know the history of the parts, let me know and I'll pass it on to Hal, or contact the company that built the buggy for Hal:

    Twisted Customs LLC

    The buggy has a Currie Rockjock 60 in the front, Fabricated 9" hsg. in the back with a Hi9, LS1, Grand Cherokee body, Walker wheels, CTM axles painted baby blue, and almost bald 39" Krawlers. The trailer is a low double axle, all black, bumper tow. It says Twisted Customs, and Custom Welding on the side.

    Wow. That sucks.

    Trailer and all. I wonder if he had the trailer locked in any way.

    I had read that on another site. That thing is going to turn up somewhere. It is too rare not to show up on the radar somehow.

    Not just that, it's so absurdly custom that even parting it out should be next to impossible considering the customization in parts.

    I'll find and post pics of the axles later, craziest crap I've seen.

    Hal just posted up info / links on details of the custom axles:

    Notice how the steering rams are mounted to the tube which bends from one side of the axle to the other. On the front axle this bracket is removable, but on the rear axle it is hard mounted.
    The rear axle is a 9-inch housing from Spidertrax:

    And the front axle and all the knuckles (F&R) are from Currie:
    http://www.currieenterprises.com/ces...jrockjock.aspx
    I couldn't find a good picture of the knuckles on their website, but they are very different looking.
    Also here is a Stolen poster I made up and put at a couple 4-wheel shops in Vegas. If y'all want to print out a handful and hand them out to other shops around town, or if you're in the Barstow/LA area, or even St. George/Cedar City feel free. I'd really appreciate getting the word around as MUCH as possible.
    Unfortunatly I don't have any good pics of the trailer. The stickers on the side that say "Twisted Customs" and "Custom Welding" are black with mirrored silver outlines in big bubbly letter (I believe, Brian H can correct me if I'm wrong) Also it's wider than normal, and has a small diamond plate box on the front between the tracks you drive up on. And it uses a 2 5/16" ball. It also has three small circular lights on the back along with the brake lights. The furthest right circle light doesn't work. And finally it has a South Dakota License plate.
    Thanks for all the help so far guys, I REALLY want to find my buggy and the trailer. In any condition, I just want to find them...

    By the way, when Hal says "LARGE REWARD" - he means it. He's not exactly short on cash.
