Drove my rig today...but only to the end of the driveway. Then I backed it into the shop. I've got it running really good now. Felt great just to not have to push it. Getting the exhaust on Tuesday, then just need a few parts to get the clutch and brakes hooked the rest of the way up, and it a driver! Hope to flex it next weekend.

GREAT.


But don't forget about packing. :D

I'm going to do some packing tomorrow, she is already about to kick my ass. I'm just so close to glory I can't stop working on it! Thanks for all of your help with the fluid capacities.

BTW...if you ever add oil through the shifter and don't want an 80w volcano on your hands I reccomend pouring VERY slowly. Are you and TJ going to the Monster show?

That's way cool dude...I kinda feel giddy about it:D :D

I kinda feel giddy about it

Me too...my son was absolutely as stoked as I was too. My driveway is reallllly long and the 110:1 turned it in to a long cruise....felt pretty damn sweet...all of a sudden it feels worth the effort.

:D

108 :smokin: ..........:D

How long has it been since it moved under it's own power? Is this the first time?

Its is definitely a cool truck (I patterened my YJ swap around your front frame extension)

:) :beer: :) :beer: :) :beer:

How long has it been since it moved under it's own power?

I was trying to figure that out, I think its been between 10 and eleven months. Whatever the number it was feeling like forever!

:D Can't wait to see it flex!!

Very cool!! Congrats!!

Congratts. Looking foward to the pics!!

:smokin: That baby took longer to make than a real one! Where is the flex party? Bob's backyard rockpile or Cow Mtn.? I'll even let you use my secret ditch if you want :D Let us know where, I wanna see that thing stretch it ooooout.

Bob's backyard, he's got the rockpile groomed all groomed for the Cruiser sissies :D . If those arent big enough its off to my secret location, which has BIG rocks.

well if your up for it we are going to do a day trip next weekend to the con??

Rude-not quite ready for a trip, but getting closer by the day. I need to make sure at least the major stuff actually works for more than 3 minutes at a time.

Alright, so we will give you one more week.....but then its time to get it!

Maybe the weekend of the 18th of may? Get a group together and head up?

I wish...after this weekend I have to getting my sorry ass packing! I'm moving an hour north on the 9th, and my wife is real pregnant and about to kill me! (normally she is about the nicest lady alive, but don't mess with a momma bear and her cubs). I need to finsh packing the house and then get going on my shop. Packing the shop is going to take forever.

I put it on the trailer tonight, it gets exhaust first thing in the morning. I'll get to play a little this Saturday, but then thats it until I move.

Fortunately for me there is a state OHV area 10 minutes :eek: from the new house...accident? I don't think so!:D

Cool, when I break up there now I can just walk to your new place...LOL:D

We are fully aware of this scenario and are happy to be the new Cow Mountain staging area.:D
