Big Jim's Marlin Box for Xmas...
« on: Dec 25, 2006, 04:42:35 PM »
A few of you guys might know Big Jim.. A buddy of ours.. He's been in our videos, "fat guy with stickers" etc..

Recently he was diagnosed with diabetes.. Which---for a self employed dude can add quite a bit of expenses...

... So with his buildup at a hault, a close group of friends got together to make his holiday special... Big Jim's there helping all of us on all our trucks total of 5 toyotas broken down for either ground up or other major work this winter... 3 will be frame up rebuild/build and 2 need major work... Total of 4 motors to rebuild  :beerchug: Going to be a long winter... I'm getting off topic but anyways...

He got it a few days before Xmas, and was super stoked... (thread here)


I drove our there to Jims(4 hours), and Deek helped me put it together since Jim had family holiday events with the in-laws on Sat...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Anyway... just figured I'd share our Christmas with you guys... The best gift this year was the gift of giving. Hope everyone had a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hmm... Jim's sealed the heads on jet ski motors in his race days with same stuff--not a leak.... So figured it would be fine. Guess we'll see! If it leaks I guess we'll have to order some paper gaskets.
