I can be there at 5:30 and meet up before you get started. I'll be in a topless white 87 runner. I'm bringing my video camera and somebody to film too. I might go to Latrobe with you guys depending on how everything goes.

Sick. I love having people document. I have a photographer usually, but he's been workin hard at his day job, and said he wants to rest. Oh well.

And Latrobe is just an option cuz we're getting a kinda late start, and may want to do some more wheelin after closing time. But you do have to drive home, so it's understandable.

Nah, it was some guy named Jack out of Folsom. I don't think he's a YTer. I randomly met him when I was supposed to be meeting Tofer and his posse.

Well PC was closed to Crawling. Just MX stuff. There's a big 3 day long event going on.

So Steve (Jedi) and I went over to Latrobe and tested the limits. He got stuck once, and I smashed my front skid a couple times. All on video of course. He has the vids, I have a couple of stills.





<Full articulation. Love the lifted tire in rear.



< Skid damage.



<My favorite pic.

I'm surprised you didn't notice an improvement. Unless your rig is tuned to your altitude, then it'd make sense it was acting up.

Stoked for the vids.

Well my usual server is down right now so I had to use Photobucket and it cut some of the video out and the quality sucks. I will repost the better video when it's back up.

The runner ran awesome power wise but the idle is funky at lower altitudes. I also have my timing bumped a little higher for my alt.

I am able to go out there whenever anybody else is. It's a 10-15 min drive for me. I try not to wheel it too much though, it's not exactly legal. If you are ever in town the next two weeks, let me know. After that I will be in Soda SPrings for the summer with little to no internet access.

Ah no worries. I bought it for a reason, and pulling me out of holes wasn't one of them.
It's amazing what 2" difference in tires can make. But I almost made it up that one burm in HI, but not enough tourqe. I know I can make it, just need to pick a different line.

Hey, thanks for the vid man. I love it.
