Damn, this is hard work! :shocked:
But, we're getting there. It's unbelievable how much work there is to do to get the rigs ready, and both rigs are already ready to go wheel on any weekend. We're trying to pay attention to the details, make everything stronger and reliable, and meet the rules.
Both Dave's and my new shocks are working well. I found some heat issues we've had to address, we just never run that hard for that long so never see the kind of heat we're generating.
Again, thanks to Russ for building us a new motor. Cal and Mike have each been up for a couple weekends just to work on the rig, I don't know how to thank them, I'd be in trouble without their help.
We have one more weekend to work on it, and we have to virtually rebuild the front axle. It needs an axle seal, new upper ball joints, rebuild the CTM u-joints, and we're going to lock the air locker in the spool position. We also need to make the new skins and put on the stickers, reinforce a couple more control arm mounts, replace some bolts, tighten every bolt on the rig and mark them with torque strip.
My wife is ready for this race to be over........ :twak:
