Mick's SX-4

It's not a Kammback, but I just had to add these!  And, since Mick does have a Kammback, he's forgiven!  These pictures were taken at Moab, Utah.  Here is the text from the e-mail that Mick sent me.

Mick here, I went to Moab for the Safari with my 81 SX-4, and proceeded to conquer  every famous obstacle I pointed the car at. I have Lock Rights front and rear, Swamper TSL's, a rear traction bar to stop wheel hop, on board air, a hatch rack with a fullsize spare (if you can call a 29" tire fullsize), and I carry a spare c.v. shaft. I piloted the car up Dump Bump twice, Potato Salad Hill twice, ran Poison Spider Mesa (4), Golden Spike (4+), Gold Bar Rim (3 1/2 +), Fins-n-Things (3 1/2), and 3-D (3 and very boring). I had a blast watching people point and laugh when I'd pull up to the hill or the bump, and then watch their jaws drop when a CAR went right up the very same thing a Scout on 44's, or a Rubicon failed to make it.

Oh yeah, I made the whole week long affair with NO BODY DAMAGE.

I had to ask him why he didn't take his rock crawler Kammback, and this was the response:

I would love for you to add the SX-4 pics to your site, there really aren't any SX-4 sites out there, and none are as good as your Kammback site. The reason I took the little car was I wanted to show the world you don't need 35+" tires, super flexy suspension, or massive amounts of lift. I was out to prove a point, that the Eagle is under rated, and that driving skills will get you just as far as the all the gadgets the magazines preach that you have to have. I'll unleash the Kammback on them next year maybe, then again I'm building a straight axle wagon right now that's getting DANA 44's steer axles front and rear. I just can't stop building these things!

Now, on to the pictures.
