Alright its been a while,

Wheeled this thing all fall/winter with the old set of beer cans and TSL's and finally figured out why the S.O.B ran poorly and continually over heated... The timing belt tensioner was worn out and causing the timing belt to slip and advance/retard. Replaced and set top dead center and now she runs like a rapped ape.

Last month I took my first trip down to Sand Hollow solo and broke my driver side Birfield on Nasty Half "wedge". Now i'm doing like most before me and throwing $$$$ at upgrading my Toyota axles and tires/rims.

Coming from the world of deep mud holes and Dana 60's I hope I don't resent spending the money on upgrading these little axles.
