Good to hear! Nice progress. It's been a lot of work to get to where you are.

How old is the grandson/s?

I'm heading out Friday, will get there early Sunday.  That is a good route to take that Glenn and Jerry showed me. 

With the low humidity and mid 50's at night, it will be ok. 

I called and no fire ban right now so I'm taking wood; well you know what I mean.

The weather will be better than Kansas..... 

What day is everyone leaving from home?  I will be heading out on Saturday August 3rd around 7:00am taking the same route I've taken in the past. This route seems to be decent, avoiding the rough beat up I70 and the Teton Pass/Mountains. Plan to make it to Rock Springs, WY for the night.

When the time comes,my grandson will have outgrown his honda quad 125 (I think it is 125) my son bought new. You might want to keep it in mind in a year or 2. Perfect condition and never even a scratch accident,so far.  No clutch shifting and has throttle stop/limiter also.

Thanks for the heads up, I will. The chickity China one is fine for now. The suspsension, joints etc will never take any abuse. Hoping to train his little brother on it too.  Let me know if he decides to sell it.

Did get anything done on sat but I did sun. All rear a arms are fully welded and in paint. Yes paint, no time to wait for sand blasting and powder coating.  All the innercooler and radiator mounts are fully welded and also in paint.  1 slight mod to the wheel bearing carriers and time to pull motor and trans to finish welding the frame and then paint.

Back on topic....................the damn forecast is now calling for 95 degree hell for Mon/Tues/Wed.  WTH!!!!!! I was looking forward to the forecasted mid 80's. The way it's going it will end up being all 5 days  that way.

Our first trip we saw a few 97* days. In the breeze wasnt bad  because there was next to no humidity.  We went wading in egin lake to.

I got rid of the '19 c7 vette for my daily driver. Really hated to see it go but I needed something more practical and the C7 had gotten to the 48000 mile mark. It was now or never.









I really,really like my new '24 C8 vette. Much more practical for a daily driver.......... ;) ;) ;D ;D :m :m :m :m :nw  Just hit the 500 mile behave myself mark and welllllllll,look the eff out now!!! Let the fun begin. :m :m :m

Deepbusch69, did you ever find a dyno to tune yours?

I did.  Just got back from Tulsa, I used the guy that Brian did.  He does a lot a of Subaru's and Mitsubishi's.  And he would tune with my old EMS Stinger ECU.  He did say I should upgrade someday.  Kinda of embarrassing after Brian's numbers, only 300 to the wheels, but about what I figured, around 400 at the engine @ 15# boost.  It did start a whole lot better cold, but won't know anything until I get it on the sand.  Kind of risky going all the to Idaho with a new, untested tune   5:  But I couldn't resist.  He did not lock my ECU, good.  At least we could look at it if there is a flat spot.

I'll never buy a gasser again to tow anything. Never. But if using as just a daily driver a diesel is not a good choice at all. My 2 cents.

I agree, diesel trucks do not make dd's .

  For a 14 '  flatbed, with a 2000 lb rail, i believe The f150 ecoboost 3.5 is enough. For my 28' gn lowbow....hell no  :m  doesnt have enough ccc for the pin weight alone.. the f350 with 7.3 gasser would do it. Might be down to 6 mpg due to high       rpms but I think it would do it.
