Hello,
My name is Ryan Melton and I live in Moab, Utah. I am a program manager with the State of Utah by day, and build offroad parts and buggies by night and on the weekends.
I was primarily into rockcrawling, but have built a new buggy which is more of a dual purpose rig - crawling / going fast.
I worked with BFG pit 1 during this past year's Baja 1000, and now have the go fast bug.

I have a new rock crawler / go fast that I'm trying to get finished before Easter Jeep Safari in 2 weeks.
It's got 2.5 x 14" Internal bypasses with 2.5 x 4" Fox bumps in the front, and 2.5 x 18 SAW's in the rear with a 3.0 x 16" 5 tube Fox Bypass in the rear with 2x4" Fox bumps.
That's my only toy, and it's too expensive.:)
I was specifically looking for info on the Moss Bronco and RDC and found your site and really like it.

Here are some pics of it:
The main thing that is going to kill my go fast aspirations is all the unsprung weight on the front axle. (Dana 60)
I want to build a fabricated 9" for the front but, that's a year or more out.
Here is the rear. It's not loaded and has no trans, tcase, or fuel, people, spare tire so the keeper spring is not compressed all the way. I also need to order the upper springs.
