Last minute work change... I may be in!

sweeeeet!

[gmshades]

Hopefully everyone had a great time!!

Thank you to Mike for getting the Metro off the trail and onto the trailer.

For those that do not know, the engine over heated twice, and after the second time, she wouldn\'t fire back up. I also was struggling to keep her running, so I know I have a lot of work to do with the carburetor to make it run better.

In the afternoon I tapped on the gas while cranking her over and finally got it to fire back up. It wasn\'t running to well so I shut it down. This week I\'ll be pulling the carb and cleaning it.

If anyone has any pictures or videos of Mike pulling me through the mud hole, please post them or send them to me at gmshades@yahoo.com

Hopefully I\'ll have it running smoother by 4x4 101 on May 28th!

haha, that was hammer down commitment with V8 power after you were clear of the trees!


i ended up getting some high speed testing in and very happy with the new sway bar.  Still have some bugs in the TBI system to work out, but i think its getting there.

Ended up blowing a 4340 yukon Dana60 chromoly outer while drifting at high RPMs... counting on Doug from extreme axles to get me a new one tomorrow or wed!
