Finally, SAS'ed the Migo... and she sits.....

[*FFC*]

Well, finally took the Migo through the 'Con.  Started out at Loon and ended at Tahoma.  Ended up setting the Migo on the rear tailgate on Cadillac hill due to an upward incline that I couldn't pull off with the combination of no gears and a bad clutch.  The lack of shocks just sent it flying

Plans before it goes out again:
pull gears in tcase to see how badly damaged they are (toasted tcase when I ran it dry on bad leak)
Flip rear leafs around
Extend the rear driveshaft
Front shocks
And tons more such as extending the frame in the front so I can move the front forward, moving the mounts in the rear so I can move the rear springs back, and getting a new clutch and toyota motor and tranny.


For now, it sits

My mother-in-law's drivers license is good for 20 years, she's 84.

30 minutes at dmv, non op the street reg, and ad the ohv reg. you will need to fill out a affidavit saying you understand street and ohv registrations are due on the vehicle, and you fill out a application for registration for the ohv green sticker. I got out without paying my late fees and next years reg, and 25 bucks for a 08 sticker back in may.

[jimbo74]

so is ffc trying to street register it or just run it ohv?

[Willy Mammoth]

Don't forget your wheelie bars for Cadillac hill.

[Cheesemaker]

 

I was thinking the same thing! It would have been a killer video to have a rear and a close up face shot  of the spare tire wheelie action!  No wonder her capri pants looked so dirty!

Thanks Jeremy.  So far the plan for tomorrow is doing the brakes on the Dodge, then we can haul the Migo to the smog shop when we get a chance.  However, I don't think it'll sit well on the smog machine with the driveshaft the way it is.  I'm thinkin I might have to pull the rear one and smog it in front wheel drive, at least that way it won't vibe off the machine

so is ffc trying to street register it or just run it ohv?

I'd like to register it for on road so that I can drive it to work (4 miles).  That's why I gotta smog it first

Don't forget your wheelie bars for Cadillac hill.

I hope to never repeat that incident
