Most of the upgrade list is done. Just need to tweak the new brake pedal and install a new gas pedal.

New inserts showed up yesterday fir the h1s. Who wants to install them?

I changed out one of the rubber inserts in the H1 wheels. I think I will just leave them in the 4 that are on the buggy. They are very low profile, and no sharp edges. I dont think its worth the work to change them out.

The tires have the thickest sidewall I have ever seen.

This was not Spencer's experience with the OZ's

These are the newer MT/R than what Spencer has, I am happy with them so far.

Ryan has the MTRs. They may be better.

That said I wouldn't run them under 18 psi in rocks.

I ran them at 15psi when I took it out once. I think I will go down a lot lower next time. My buggy is significantly lighter than a ZJ......

what was on the list?

I thought the buggy did great for a debug run.

I can only remember the tires hitting the rear tube work...

New Master cylinder and booster, much better brakes now, also added residual valves 2psi

More wiring hooked up so hopefully the trans shifts right

Mover muffler from under my ass

Added heat shielding inside the firewall and floor

Gears getting done at M4 soon

Power steering pump and alternator being done today, addition of a IAT should help power and driveability.

Replaced broken gas pedal

The lack of power on hills is annoying, so I think with the trans and engine wired together now it should be better, and with the gears it will have more climbing ability.

I might get to wheel it again this year, keeping my hopes up.
