What fun!

How did the rig run with the Corvette engine in it? Any specs on how long it took, what kind of power it's putting out, etc? What'd he do for a transfer case and tranny??

yeah, i'm wondering what happened too. wish i could have stayed long, but i had to make it back up here to santa clarita. hope everything worked out for him.

and i gotta say good times, i was very impressed with you and your rig...those 2003s are growing on me.

if anything i leaned that i want a locker today. going down that one hill at first where i almost got stuck, it would have come in handy there for one.

and jason, i'll get those videos asap, but my ftp isn't working at the moment


btw, it's charles i'm bad with names too. i managed to learn a couple at least

for the most part, our 2wd's did pretty good. a nice differential woulda helped though

it was pretty cool, even though it got hairy even for the 4x4ers some times

it was in ortega canyon i believe. not really sure, i jsut followed everybody there

Marc:

I did invite everyone that is interested in the San Diego run on apr 13th.

The only problem is that out of the 8 vehicles that came, only 4 are 4x4. I know that our trails will be 4x4 only pretty much so that pretty much rules out 1/2 of the group that went today.

Anyway they are aware of the scheduled run so hopefully they'll be intetested

On a side note, I have one or two from the tundrasolutions.com that might be interested. One, a local SD guy and another one is local LA guy.

We'll see! hopefully 4x4wire will be back online soon!

Since the suspension is gonna take abit longer (as I anticipated), I thought I'd get started on some of the other mods I had planned!

It works and it's cool!!! Now we don't have to worry about how much we air down!! hehe
