![]() Looks and sounded like you had a great trip. Impressed they got 3 sxs on that flat bed. All of these improvements will be carried over to the 2dr....plus reinforcement !! That one will handle a beating for sure. 53

![]() Weight of the turbo hanging on the end two primaries kinda broke them a bit, so braced and tig welded. Somewhere in there the fan blew up in my tig welder and i had to disassemble that as well and fix it... <a href="http://www.animateit. ![]() ![]() everything on the drivers side has to come out to get to the mount ![]() head gasket es leaking a little.... but we dont worry about that little guy. ![]() ![]() total weight for the trip, 22,500. Truck and trailer are heavy. ![]() new mounts grab 7 bolt holes instead of 3. ![]() ![]() Ole vic jr posing on the ledge. Thats all for now! Kinda want to dig out some more old pictures and upload those as well! 56

Ended up with yet another broken axle shaft. If you listen closely at the end, you can hear it break. I really need to swap to a dana 44 for how I drive but... thats expensive.

Its a daily commuter car. Paid $500 with 99k miles and in need of front end work. $400 in parts and I have put 40k miles on it. Ugly but cost of ownership is fantastic!! |
