New member from Texas
« on: Feb 01, 2008, 08:11:00 AM »
Hi Folks,

I'm new here. I've recently retired from racing motorcycles offroad in the Texas Cross Country Racing Association. Now I'm going to focus on raising kids and restoring/improving my '78 FJ-40. I'm part owner in a little speed shop in Denton called ATS Racing. We build MR2 T's and make them fast. I swapped a 7MGE into my pickup them turbo'd it. My next project is a 3.0L Diesel for the cruiser, power steering, hydraulic winch, rear disks, paint,  and maybe a homebrew A/C. I haven't done much wheeling but I would like to start. My wife and I went up to Red River NM this past year and ran some of the easy trails. The hardest was one called fourth of July just south of Red River. It was just a little steep, no winching or lockers required.
