Awesome, hey i left a Class11 beam at Owen's it would be perfect for you car. Its cut and turned, gussets on the shock towers, and all the seam's are welded up. It missing one of the inner bushings, that you can remove from your beam, its all yours

| There is room for improvements on everything I suppose. I forgot that water in the desert is uncommon. Up here I swear all I drive through is water! Looks like you guys had a fun trip. I'm glad Brads ride gets run. |

I am trying to come up with some sork of extended air intake since that was the only reason I opted for the trailer. I still haven't built my ECU cover either (it's bolted to the rear firewall). Now that the motor is coming out, it will be reassembled with a nice sheet metal box over it. But the fans/radiator, and the wing side plates makes it harder to relocate the air intake. I had my intake manifold turned around when Outfront did my motor. At the time I didn't want to cut a hole in my firewall I just built. In hindsight, sending the air intake through the firewall and putting an Ump filter (or similar) in the package tray area sounds like the way I should have gone.

Time for an ammo can and ECU snorkel. Nice pictures.

No cracking walnuts with your teeth.
At least you got the interweb thingy to keep you occupied.

for your viewing pleasure, lol. Doc said 6 weeks of my shoulder being immobile, and then 6 week of getting it back to strength. If you look at the clavicle you can see where it splintered and they put screws in it, makes me hurt just looking at it. Doc said the surgery today won't be as bad im definetly asking for some good meds this time. When i saw my clavicle doc yesterday he said in a year i could have the screws and plate removed-Hell No i would not elect to have that pain all over again, lol

At least the surgery went well. Pain absolutely sucks. I feel bad for you. I hope the next surgery will be pain free or at least not as painful. Hang in there Sal.

You guys are going to have to learn to do like the Jeep Rock crawlers do. On guy always brings a big generator, and a welder on on his trailer.
