Sweet Nate. We should try a night run sometime this summer now that pretty much everyone has lights!

That would work best for me since it looks like I'm working all weekend

Hey guys can someone check to see if you can see the pictures in my build thread? I can't see them, but I think it's the firewall here at work blocking photobucket because all seemed well the other day at a hotel. Also, do I still have an avatar picture thing under my name? That isn't showing up for me either, once again, I think it's the firewall here. These Europeans are strict!

Finally found some time today to work on the second build. The honcho is getting work done as well Between moving out and work/work related shit there hasn't been much time.

Onto the progress pics

Bo kicking ass



Finished rear suspension geometry





I stretched the rear out as far as the drive shaft allowed me to. There's maybe 8mm of engagement at full rebound. About 12 at full compression.





Beef tubes front and rear, OD front and UD rear



Then I broke a Chub and quit for the night. Hoping to do exponentially more tomorrow

I can't see any of the pics, but I am sure it is looking sick! How'd you break a C-hub?

Great, thanks.

I have some new pics from the past few weekends that I will be posting soon, I hope. I am trying to get internet in my lil apartment this week sometime, then I should be good to go.




I already did a battery pack of wheeling this morning, now back to base for some lunch and then out for more!!!

Looking good! Starting a trip to Nova Scotia and Newfound land next week, I'll be back sometime in June and ready to wheel

Had a good time today. I thought my motor was toast but it was a rock stuck in the spur gear and pinion gear.

Pics of FJ rock crawlin' are up in my build thread now. Only thing wrong is the lack of other rigs to wheel with!!! Already found a few sweet spots, like this one.

Spotted a place on my way home. Had to stop. I needed to cool the motor down afterwards.

If anyone has a spare spur gear they can sell let me know. Stock is fine. Thanks.
