Re:

Progress!

Engine is in, accessories mounted, clutch bled, tires/wheels finished and mounted.

Just got to figure out what route I'm going with the exhaust since the factory **** is pretty fubar and the new TG header won't fit with out moving my upper link.

gonna be nice nick, on our sami the header I had would not work either.
I bought a lc engineering exhaust flange and a header tube kit from speedway.
I had a buddy machine me a couple exhaust flanges in case I ever needed another one.
if you decide to build header let me know. I will sell you a flange if you need it.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to having my own rig again, it's been a while...

I think I'm just going to clean up the stock manifold and run all new exhaust.

Thanks though,

I figure if I could do 90% of GMP on 2 cylinders with the Treps, then some ICAN'Ts would bring some challenge back...

Nah actually I just didn't care much for the creeper lock/trep combo and I wanted a samurai.

I'll probably get some 37 red labels eventually, but I have about $2000 less in the wheels and tires on it now than before. It fit the idea of a cheap ass truck much better (and now I'm back at my $5000 "budget" goal)

You Tennessee boyz are all the same, love spinning them tares

Nick I put a Headman header on our buggy its short and I think it would clear your link arm we also put one on the Angry Fab Toyota buggy it cleared his upper link think I paid $185.00 may be a option for you
