Well since Jim has been working on the chassis. I have been working on the engine
for this.

Got a 6.0 from Pholmann. Knew it had a bent rod. Started the tare down. Noticed the crank had excessive end play. Over .125 of and inch.
Found that the crank was no good.

This is the good side of the thrust bearing on the crank.

This is the side where the problem is.

So. A rod replacement turned into a complete rebuild with a few more
cubic inches. Once you start you can't turn back. So out the window the budget went !!

I work hard for what I have and take risk a lot of people wont take. I get excited when I see everyone else's bad ass ****. This rig is for my wife and girls so we can all spend time together and have fun in the woods (we ain't just fishin). I can't wait to get Emily and Rylee on a trail. My girls have never been, just Jamie and I since my p.o.s now is a 2 seater. I got a feeling the girls will quickly want in that driver seat.
