Locally , ( was not there, as told to myself) there was a rep handing out free cans at brewski's bar. Pats son and his buddy each said sure, each took one. A fair number of people did so as well and they all told the rep that they would enjoy pouring them out. If I was that rep I would change companies. Looks like target following suit!

Hung the trans last night to get an idea of which direction to go. Going to have to get creative bending the lower cradle tubes. The r&p section dips lower then the case. The case on the megasand was narrower even thought the drive flange width was wider then the hv24. I was considering returning to a 6 link rear end as I can set those up quickly. That and I still have the forward steel rods and mounts. I have the old 6 link carriers still as well. Well with the way the drive flanges are recessed into the side cover slightly.....well that makes an a arm rear simpler now. That statement has everything to do with tab placement and shock will have to mounted to the wheel bearing carrier irregardless. Not enough room inside this frame for coil overs. So I had decided to leave the center motor ( bushing mounted at frame) and mount the trans in 2 spots. I would cut the upper rear motor mount and make that a bolt on in case I ever need to pull the trans out. A section of the rear cradle needs to be removable as well for that same reason. Didnt with the megasand as I thought, I won't have to pull this more then once down the road. Well here we are for the 3rd time and swapping out to a better one. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 20

My 3500# Warn on the busa buggy is just right. Pulled me out of the bottom of a deep bowl in Glamis. I can't say enough positive about the synthetic cable either. No more wire rope for me. I really have no good place to mount a bigger one on the big buggy though. Damn!! Didn't plan that too well.
