WOW, A RACE! LOL......
"Up in front we have Pismo Joe, ....BUT WAIT, it looks like Lives4Crawlin has crept up with his new steering box, .....IT'S NECK AND NECK, FOLKS! Will Joe's LAME CUSTOMER SERVICE pan out to a fizzle, providing an easy win for Lives4Crawlin?...or will Joe raise HELL with the man on the other end of the phone, causing the parts to be flown there by G5????" hahahaa.
Good luck, guys, I'm really looking forward to the videos! If you could, stop by my trouble shooting thread and read up, see what you think? it's pretty basic stuff in part, then not so much on the other issues. I'd really appreciate it, ...sorry for the highjack! PLEASE TO FORGAVES ME? hahahha

Hey Joe, what kind of turnaround time did you get from witch hunter? All the guys around have used him with great success, just hoping he takes care of the Cali guys as well as the Washington guys.

YotaTech Milestone-Two Millionth Post
i mailed mine on a thursday and had them in my hands by the following monday or tuesday......so that's REALLY FAST.
and Joe, I'm getting p-o'd for you about getting those assemblies back........that's downright poor service.

Jason, I don't actually have them yet but I paid on the 14th and they said they wouldn't send a paypal request until the work was done, so I guess they're done. I mailed them out on Saturday, so I think they got them and cleaned all 5 injectors in 3 business days which is smokin' fast!!! They have been really helpful as well with my ?'s as well, so I'd say they're hookin up the CA guys as well 
Yeah Jerry, they took a damn long time IMO, but what are you gonna do? I wasn't about to pay LCE $480 for a stock set lol I just wish they were UP FRONT about the slow turnaround time. When I called they told me a week tops! HA!
haha chef that was a good one...I dunno its not lookin too good for lives (sorry bud! )....
check this out 
x1000
Sorry guys, don't want to unwrap them lol they're just too young to be exposed quite yet
So stoked, mentalwise haha. Will be dropping them off to the machine shop tomorrow, and I'll give you guys a solid ETA on this engine that I think I was building lol

YEAHHHHHHHH, BOOOOOOOOEY! hahahaha
"Holy Crapoli!....it appears as though SMOKIN PISMO JOE has pulled a head, MASSIVELY, as though he was teleported a half length ahead.....GAAAAAAAAAASP, .....but who knows, this could motivate Lives4Crawlin to WHIP SOME ARSE RIGHT BACK! ....stay tuned, folks, ...it's appearing to no longer be a nail biter!" hehe
SO HAPPY FOR YOU, Joe, ....you probably felt every new wrinkle from the grimacing in anger you've been showing, .....UNTIL THAT TRUCK PULLED UP! hahahaha.
Sweet, ....now, if only we can get them to work on it through the weekend! Hmmmmmm, lol.

Hahaha Chef, do you cook at a comedy club??? Thanks though man, I'm so stoked. Yes, now my attention will be turned to the machine shop lol but they have been up front with me so far.
From what I hear, they're sort of the good ol boys of engine rebuilding in my area, and they offer a 3yr/30k warranty so I'm stoked on that!
Now we just need to go cruise down Sunset with our BA yotas when mines done hehe

SWEEET! Love that drive up through Leo Carillo and so on, ....I LOVE camping at Carpenteria during the AVOCADO OR STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL!!! That is fun!
No, don't cook at a comedy club, .....sorry for being corny, hahaa. Just think that competition makes it interesting....then again, it could lead to a bad install on something, so DON'T DO IT! lol. Wish I was closer, I'd gladly stop by and help you drop that sucker in!

No seriously I got that message on my phone when I got done surfing and I almost fell to the floor laughing lol, seriously man that was a good one! I can picture you being in the press box at a horse race hehe
That would be so appreciated lol I'll just have to make due over here all alone haha. Seriously though, if I have any issues I think you will be the first person I ask. I mean, if yotatech counted as a class I think you would be ASE certified lol

HAHAHAHA, HARDLY! but thanks! lol. I've learned alot though, ...no doubt. Some things are STORED FOR GOOD in my nugget. However, this kind of 'variable-type' issue gets me flustered. Not bad, I'm fine...I just wanna figure it out and BE FRIGGEN DONE WITH IT! LOL. IT'S VERY CLOSE, I'll say that much, and there aren't many things I wont try to tackle on my own....this included! I WILL beat this stupid hiccup! hahaha. MAN I HATE THE HICCUPS, TOO! hehe.
BBl8r, ....can't wait to see your progress, Joe!

Haha IT BETTER lol and yeah I finally got those rockers in
A little update, I dropped by the machine shop today
Turns out the crank had to be turned a bit, so I need to swap out my rod/main bearings from std to .25mm or 010/010 depending on your lingo. Just e-mailed engnbldr so hopefully I can swap them out trouble free.
Its looking like the engine is a week away yeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Alright guys another little update, got my injectors back from WitchHunter. Man those guys are fast! Great work they did, replaced all the o-rings, spacers, and gaskets. I thought that my injectors would have been a little more clogged up, but now at least I know they're good to go!
Alright, and since this is MY thread
there has been LOCAL SLO COUNTY fabricators two months straight in off road mag!!! CHOOWWW here's my cousin Mikey in his tundra (I made those stickers hehe) check out Central Coast PreRunners if you need a legit prerunner, Mikey is one of the best fabricators I have ever seen, not just saying that either
And in this months mag, the article on Dennis' Chevy Blazer (blue, with a newer suburban front clip) of Xtreme Unlimited in Grover Beach, Ca. Dennis is the guy to see for all of your gearing/locker/drivetrain needs. My buddy Daniel Wilson did the body work, here's his truck if you have seen this pic I posted in the carnage thread. Don't have my own copy of this months mag, or I would scan it on here for you, but I suggest you check it out
Danny in his rolled 85 (we did a full body swap, its nice now lol)
At least he knows how to do bodywork hehe
