im still trying to work it out with the wife about going to the rally. boy id love to dyno this thing. ive been driving it all week. runs very very well. been trying to drive nice and easy but i still think my mileage is going to suck. gonna be hauling alot of dirt tomorrow, thats gonna kill it but i bought it to use it! i ordered a new set of gauges the other day too so i can really keep track of things. im still thinking i may back it down a flat. especially towing its way to easy to just start puking smoke. i hate seeing my dollar bills floating away behind me and i really dont want to become one of "those guys" ******* everyone off ruining it for the rest of us. ive got to get the steering fixed, it wanders something aweful. other than that im having alot of fun driving it.

hesutton: i dont have any pics of the brakes. what i did was got the superduty mounting brackets and designed a bigger flange with the new bolt pattern and a square pocket milled in it to fit the small original square flange. i then welded it on the axle once i mocked it all up. i used E250 van rotors sandwiched between the hub and rim. it used the superduty style parking brake too. i havent got those hooked up yet though...between that and the hydroboost i almost have too much brake!
