It's called the CORE4WD exercise video.. Get in shape for the summer lifting this mamajama of an RTI. Hey, you'll look and feel great and get to flex those biceps along w/ that 4" long arm kit..

First of all..there will be NO flopping!! Can't we bring that sucker out to someone that has something soft to land on?? Can we put down some pillows...??!!
Oh...and when you get started on that RTI (started again rather)..let me know. I'd love to come by to see what I can see.

All I use it for now is doing donuts in the Mustang.  Chele, nice avatar! That's about how I feel right now. Been at work since yesterday morning, now I'm watching the last 15 minutes tick by so a coworker can check my work and (hopefully) I can go home ...  |

Killin' yoooooooouuuuuuuuu?  But, there IS alot of lil' things involved in a swap like this. And Dave handled each and every one accordingly. She's ready, minus the driveshaft...  haha i know your ready for it to happen. So when is the drive shaft coming in? |

Getting ready to go pick up Jay and drive shaft! Final odds and ends- Extended and re-routed brake line, needs a couple loop clamps still-  Skid plate mount needed to be welded so you can put skid back on without fighting it. Hopefully you'll never have to mess with it on the trail anyway! Good thing the welds aren't really for strength, my little wire feed doesn't put out enough juice for that mount bar. They're just to keep the holes lined up-    |

Well drove it home today and I heard nothing out of the ordinary... Took it VERY easy listening for anything, and the only strange noise was probably the Detroit locker disengaging when I let off the gas. Great job, dude. Took temp half way home 89*, so I continued home. Checked temp @ home 91*. We are gonna drain it saturday to check it out. Just in case.. I'm so happy, thanks to all that helped. |

Pinion is set 1 1/2 degrees below driveshaft, no vibes-  Yeller (sic) top going in-  Sumbuddy's happy-  Now get that heep outta the driveway!  We'll pop the covers Saturday and make sure all is good then put some real miles on it. ;D |
