    Well it runs, but not well. It will idle, but not well. It brakes, but not well. A whole lotta bugs to work out.

    I think it is running rich. I am getting alot of black smoke and it will die if I let off the gas.

    The brakes will stop, but the pedal goes way too far down. I am replacing the MC tonight or tomorrow b/c its old and a neew one was cheap.

    Rusty did the exhaust last week as well, so when it will idle, it sounds pretty decent.

    I sorta measured for shocks today. At rest, mounting point to mounting point is 21.5" and once flexed, the droppped front side measured 26", while the front compressed side measured about 18" I am happy with the articulation. ANy other numbers I might need when I order shocks???

    if you dont wanna spend the $$ for the 9000s, 5000s are the same p/n's w/ a 5 in front.

    Well, I have been driving it a little bit.

    I bought some shocks. Rancho 5112s. Also had it aligned today and had them install a cam kit to get the camber right. Drives nice and straight.

    The interior is done except for a center console. Got a Pioneer CD player and some new Infiniti speakers. SOunds great.

    Still needs rear gears/locker. Also needs a good set of 36-38" tires and rims.

    Engine is running not so good. I have only driven it maybe 20-30 miles and I think it already drank all 30 gallons. I forgot to have Rusty weld a bung in for an 02 sensor when he did teh exhaust. Maybe not having the O2 sensor that it is suppose to have is causing it to run so rich. The stock oil pressure gauge moves from low to high, low to high alot. Temp is also higher than normal. All bugs that need to be worked out.

    Put on a new MC/brake booster,but the brakes need to be bleed one last time(I really hope it is the last time.)

    Anyways, we wil be tailgating on it tomorrow on top of WCG.

    Gig em and beat the hell outta Wyoming!
