When D and C Extreme started in February of 1999, Damian was there, making a mess in his Father-in-laws garage. Damian has built almost all bumpers ever sold since that time. Damian has also headed virtually all product development and R&D for D and C. His most notable accomplishments (besides his family) include the development of D and C's custom bumper line (the foundation that literally built D and C) and the design work of D and C's 3 and 4-link conversions. Damian’s total commitment to quality is build into all D and C products and shows in every rig we deliver. Damian is married to Christy, and has 4 children.

Damian's rigs have been legendary in their own time.  His first Scout was a 1970 Scout 800A that he originally purchased for $1300.  Nicknamed Lil Mule this Scout included SOA w/ 2.5 lift springs (front) w/ RS and LongTravel Shocks.  A quarter elliptic rear suspension, 4.09 gears and lockers, SII axles and 35" tires.

 Snoopy, Damian's second Scout and one of his most popular Scouts, started life as a VERY mild 1967 Scout 800.  However, by the time he was finished with it, it was a mean rockcrawlin’ machine!  Snoopy sported a 105 inch Wheel base, Competition SOA w/ 2.5 lift springs, ¾ ton axles, 5.38 gears and Detroit lockers, 4-wheel disc brakes, custom cage, Corbeau Seats, T98 4-speed trans w/ 2.47:1 twinsticked Dana20 T-case.  38.5 SuperSwampers SX were mounted on custom Military beadlocks, and the list of mods can go on from there.  For a complete build, check out ourExtreme Buildup page and click on Beater Buildup for a complete and detailed build.

Rusty is Damian’s latest extreme wheeler project.  Although it started life as a mildly built 1979 Scout II, the rust in its factory body dictated that Rusty would become a custom RockBuggy.  Unlike other rigs owned by Damian, Rustys body was cut off and replaced by a custom tube-chassis.  By far the most extreme rock-crawler ever built by D and C, Rusty sports 42 inch SuperSwamper IROK tires, 1-ton axles, 4.89 gears and Detroit Lockers, full hydraulic steering, and two transfer cases for an extremely low 125:1 final crawl. Front and rear 4-link suspension w/ Sway-A-Way RaceRunner coil-overs, Corbeau seats and MANY MANY more extreme modifications. Like Snoopy, Rusty’s buildup has been documented in ourExtreme Buildup page. Simply click on Project Rusty for a complete and detailed build.

With all the extreme Scouts Damian has owned in the past, one may be interested to know what he has decided to drive on a daily basis. To no ones surprise, Damians daily driver is another BIG IH.  A 1969 IHC Travette on 37s.
