Ahh yes... I now see the difficulties in running a single horse power configuration as suggested above.

In all seriousness I take it the radiator is now moving to the back or will you be trying to squeeze it above the winch still. Winch mounted inside the grille or below and hidden will look absolutely sweet. Like where this is headed.

Yep radiator moving to rear and coolers staying up front

Its been pretty crazy around here! here a few mods done
Pulled the shifters out to atlas, put in some air cylinders to make shifting easier. Driven it once with them and very happy how it works.
The same night out we wrapped a control arm and snapped of the rear pinion! $$$ to fix that
As that was a weakness in control arms, now have 50mm 6000 series aluminum arms in

Bumpstops and Antirock are going in, that should serve us well at King Of The Rim this year.


We have a new sponsor

should have a fresh motor back soon, we ran it in on the engine dyno on petrol, then put LPG on and its running lean so gregs trying to tune it up better on gas, i changed to a single 425 impco, well see how it performs over the gas research.
The holley base received a bit of loving to improve flow, ground away hard edges on the throats

Also made up a brace between coil over towers, still need to make the bar




A few mods to the exhaust, doing it up and over to run down each slider, twin system instead of a single, all mandrel bends!! pain the butt




Cleaning up the wiring, rewired the whole truck. sams going to kill me when he sees ive cut his console, hopefully it'll go back as a removable panel. Looks better than it does in this shot!
