You can find the knuckles at crateenginedepot.com. I went from Tucson over to the western movie town place, that was a pretty cool drive. I don't know the area that well, but it sure is beautiful out there. I used to work down at that convention center in the middle of Tucson.

It's near Saguaro National Park West. I think it's called Old Tucson. Cool place, check it out.

Oh, OK. That is a bad ass drive! I was in a rental stuck behind some slow ass motor homes, but I couldn't get over the scenery. Very beautiful! Lots to look at on that drive.
