Yeah it was awesome! I love the trail at this time of year.

It was also cool being the only Fresno company who participated in the event :thumbs: In fact, we have only missed ONE Rubithon event over the past 23 years!! :woohoo: We really like the TLCA and will continue to support Toyota organizations like them! :thumbs:

Regards,
BigMike

Nice Mike good to see ya there bud.  I did manage to show ur dad my dual diaphragm brake booster.  The sticker for the part number is gone.  I am sure I can find the correct # for ya if your still interested.  Anyhow ask your dad bout it.  Hope he made it home ok.  Was a wicked long day for him.  I got into the springs bout 15 mins before him,  so I decided to stay the night and came home the next morning.
Ill take a look at your pics after posting this.  Also Say thanks to your dad for lending me that tap to fix my rig.  Wouldnt have made it out without it.
Heres a link to the pics we took if ur interested.

Did you leave out Cadillac side ?  Imo the trail was MUCH harder this year with all the runoff. Im glad it was harder.

Hey Josh! Post up a pic of your booster, I'd like to see it :eye: :eye:

They had a LOOONG day and didn't make it home until 3:30am Monday. They had a lot of trouble on the trail. I left about 3 hrs ahead of them, running the entire trail back to Loon, and I made it home by 4pm !

Glad you made it out okay :thumbs: I took a small dent to my bed on the big sluice, which is an extreme rarity for me (it's been years since I dented anything). I am still a bit upset about it but it was my own fault for going too fast. Other than that it was smooth sailing without any issues for me and the long drive home went well also (truck got 20 MPG).

Awesome pics also BTW. Looks like your new truck worked great! :driving:

Ya I made sure not to get a bunch of atf on it. 

Bad news is my truck blew a head gasket.  I think my timing my have been off enough for the elevation to cause it to pre detonate.  Shame since engine only has maybe 8k on it.
Now I really need to sell this msd to pay for it and a new hd rear drive shaft.

Nope its carb and its built up some but nothing to make it unreliable.  I pulled the plugs today and found # 1 was wet.  So I need to get a hold of a hg and get it done.  The water isnt getting into oil so thats good.
