I’m not tagged in anything less recent than new paint that I can see the bumps.

Had to have been missing since I’ve had it. Lucky I guess?

Some very reasonable upgrades completed on this unit thanks to the crack team at M4wd!

Alignment completed.
Front bump stops set & fixed - no more bottoming and breaking things.
Rear height bumped up to ~6" shaft showing, and broken shock swapped. Still no parts from our friends at Profender, so another NEW shock on the car.
Rear upper links vastly improved with fresh heim joints instead of waiting-to-break welded shank Johnny Joints
Stretched shock eye swapped
Beat bump pad swapped

Needs:
right kingpin preload bolt replaced. snapped while adjusting
steering hose replaced - nicked by overcompressing frontend
Limit straps mounted (longer rear, adding fronts) - calling PRP shortly to check on shipping, since they said they were going out yesterday but didn't actually get on the brown truck according to tracking
Siren installed (eta sometime next week)
Rear-rear ujoint checked, some cross play. maybe worn or maybe stretched 14b yoke
double check all bolts, etc.

Next:
rear bumps
front driveshaft
aluminum links, hiems everywhere, 5/8 & 3/4 hardware everywhere. no more 9/16.
2.5s
rear swaybar
rewire
motor? (oil smoke not gone...)

The fail is strong with Mike and Dean :(

PRP limit straps due tuesday. All well there - mixed up with another order. Too many things are on the way.

That's okay...

We'll see how this Pelican 200w unit fares. I'm sure it's plenty of loud, durability in the environment will be the question...

Limit straps and siren both due tomorrow.

Looking at rear-rear ujoint today. Bought 3/4" fine thread gr8 bolts this morning to replace artec preload set screws since one broke.

Steering lines replaced yesterday and system bled. Powerdrives had a sweet adaptor to 45Ëš flare to get rid of that kinked stock PS line into compression fitting out of the pump, looks good.

Should have the car at 100% by tomorrow end of day. Then have some patch & paint to do on the outside of Kim's house and should have that place pretty much squared away before we leave for the race, too. Another long week in the making!

Going to need to figure out a waterproof box for this guy, and how to wire to a single speaker. No instruction Chinese unit...

Speaker is a 2 wire connection.



Need to find room for the speaker too! Big Mohambe.
