I was going to say I wait for Steve to screw it up and learn from it but I thought that was not needed :rofl:

Yeah, that's a given. Wait for me to figure out the WRONG way to do it, then avoid all those wrong ways.

Looks like you're about to pull ahead of me anyway, then I'll be learning from your mistakes.

we need some updates brandon. Aren't you in Lake Powell this weekend? Did you ever get it running without the starter fluid? I'm about to start mine and I'm curious what the issue was.

I had the same issue starting mine, but I just added about 2 more gallons of gas, and it fired right up. Maybe try that.

dude, i didn't know you had a build thread. I spend my time on ih8mud rather than rme since I bought my 40. It's cool to see the progress rather than just hear about it on the phone. If we didn't have opsosite work schedules i'd come help out. Anyway, it looks great. The blue does look alot like my cruiser. Your little girlie has good taste!

sweet. I hope you do go to 37s, they're the perfect size for a pickup. Come with us on Friday and duals and flat belly will grow on you too.

My wife likes your wife. It's always easier for her to want to go wheeling when there's another wife there.
