Oh ya!!! I made it to top truck!!! It wasn't easy. I found out that turbos don't like full engine oil pressure, And I'm hitting about 80 lbs right at the rev limiter. I also made the mistake of buying a made in China turbo. The oil seals in the turbo couldn't handle the pressure and  oil leaked into the exhaust side of the turbo and smoked like a pregnant dog. I borrowed Turbo Lukes turbo and hoped it would fix it. It still smoked but not as bad. So I ran it anyway. Came out sunday to warm it up and found a leaky o ring for one of the injectors. I changed that out and got her running again. I got almost to the fair grounds and had to stop at a light and one of my allpro stainless brake lines blew out right where it's crimped into the fitting. I got soooo lucky no one was in front of me 'cause I rolled right through the light. My bud Manly was right behind me and we made a b-line for renegade and grabbed a stock one and threw it on. I had an awesome day. I got 5th place out of 24 trucks. I haven't wheeled it since all of the mods. I beat the crap out of it and She held up and I didn't break anything!!! My Bud Manly was the only one taking pics and The video of the mini rubicon got erased by accident. That totally sucks!! I must of got the front end up in the air 5 feet getting through the gates at the end. I beat out some high dollar rigs. Manly is posting them on youtube right now. Look up (top truck challenge bozeman mt 2010)  By the way in the frame twister I hooked my foot on the winch controller and it ripped the wires out of it. Too lame. What you also can't see is the 49.5 holes dug by Mikes bronco after the first 2 loges. I knew I had to make it past that and I did. In the mud pit I missed 3rd gear but she pulled pretty hard anyway.
