It ain't a 4 banger on Toys, its a V8 on Tons. That's a pretty decent #, you don't have any frills on there. yeah. it was actually a lot lighter than I thought. when I saw what Andy's buggy weighed I thought mine would tip the scales at 42-4300 lbs. I was pleasantly surprised. Of course with me and gear in it total weight will be over 4 grand. Not that I was really concerned about that so I won't be changing anything. SO,, what did Andy's weight?

He can chime in but I believe it was a tad over 3800. Mine just seems larger than his which is why I figured it was heavier.

I like the new look. Get your shifting problems sorted out? Not sure yet. After I looked at the case at your place I changed the depth of the bearings, put in the new range selector and then cleaned up the shifters in both cases. I also put in a different D300 as I read on POR that some 300's after they have been twin sticked had a habit of popping out of gear. This morning I added some more to the hood. The TIG machine was right beside me but I took out the spool gun instead.... Not as neat but I'm not too concerned ;D Uploaded with ImageShack.usUploaded with ImageShack.usUploaded with ImageShack.usWaaaay to shiny! After I'm done welding it will be painted black...

The truck look, looks good.Guess you decided against the 4 seater? By the time I installed the new seats they are pushed back and interfere with the rear seat space so unless I make a smaller tank there's not enough room left for the two kids seats. "may" make a 3 seater though. But this will do for now.

When are you going for a test run? I wanted to take it out this weekend but I took the car trailer apart and have to fix it/lights etc and then get inspected. I ended up booking vacation for Wed, Thurs and Fri to get it done hopefully.
