Thanks guys. I am going to change out the grill back to stock with rectangle lights but upgraded lights (much brighter) and sand and paint the stock grill black with clear coat with some black painted mesh screen behind the grill for added protection and what not.

I haven't heard of the freeze your tail off trip, don't get on here too much yet but trying to get more involved. I could possibly make it with my son, let me know the details of when and such.

I changed out all the trans and t-case fluid to full syn and next is the axles. The syn fluid helps a bit with shifting and more, I like it. Gonna order a rear wiper blade online and try to find an adapter to run regular style clip on blade assemblies. I need to clean up and hook up the washer fluid bag for the rear and change out the rear light to a bigger one, possibly wire in one on each side for better view.

Ordering up a Accel coil, got the bigger wires and new plugs in gapped at stock .31, not sure if need more gap for the cam or not. Gonna check and adjust the timing on it tonight as well as bleed the brakes. Need to route the washer sprayer lines closer to motor to heat up and so dont freeze and can use them in the winter. Also wanna find better sprayers that spread the fluid better than the ones on it that straight shot it pretty much.

Has a little bit of a noisy trans. I know I don't have carpet or anything and get noise from header but wouldn't think it should be noisy at all really. Going to replace the fuel filter tonight and order up a oil filter relocation kit soon in time for next oil change.

Think that's all for now. Thanks for looking and the warm welcomes.

I wasn't able to make the camp out as I had some kid things going on. If there is a thread to it with pics and what not, please share. Thanks.

I saw a couple pics, look cool.
I might have to try to sign up for this up coming event. Would be fun to get more familiar with the toy and see what it's capable of.
