i tried to "save target as" and it wont work right

You can't do a 'save target as' with photobucket. It runs from the website
but its only 3mb.

I think you can if you get the utube downloader.

You can't see the dents in the hood in that video, but a couple weeks ago he inadvertantly backed into. I got swamper dents in my hood!

Mark's putting a muffler on it now before a neighbor has a

I saw that damage too, but when he drives around it in the video he hit it again.

Screw the neighbor.

That's too cool! I couldn't help but laugh when you took off from the driveway, looks nothing like the old diesel!

Lady Di · « **Reply #2704 on:** Jul 29, 2007, 10:42:43 AM »

Well he's got the muffler bearings tightened, and added a grease fitting to keep them lubed.

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #2705 on:** Jul 29, 2007, 11:41:51 AM »

It's a lot quieter now with the muffler on, but still sounds cool.

Doesn't sound like a hot rod, but sure feels like one.

Almost a little scary to be honest, gets up to 60 in a real hurry and just about the time you go to grab 5th gear, you remmember you don't have one.

Mark you are most definitely a master of fabricating and congradlations on finishing a project that not many would have tried little alone dun such a clean job. I hope that the Mammoths will be comming to Marlins shop soon as I would love to swing by and look at this master piece in person.

If things go as they usually do we'll be at Marlin's shop by about Sept. 11-12 before heading up for MCR6.

As usual, he took off before I was ready or I would have been closer to the road and you could have heard the tires barking in first and second a lot clearer.
But MAN does it feel GREAT! He's got to put a muffler on it though, it's LOUD.

I got exo cage sanded and am in the process of re-painting them. hoping the rain will hold off. :crossed;

topar · « **Reply #2715 on:** Jul 29, 2007, 02:23:01 PM »

Weather channel tells me you guys are getting rain

Lady Di · « **Reply #2716 on:** Jul 29, 2007, 02:30:24 PM »

We're always getting rain somewhere, but they are usually small storms. I'm checking weather.com. It's just rattle can and in this heat it'll dry fast enough.
We're still clear for now.

We should be at Marlins by the 11th or 12th. We'll be posting on our Sightings of thread on the road so you can keep track of where we are and when.

sweet cant wait for you all to come to fresno so i can come she the mammoth

CTENG in KS · « **Reply #2725 on:** Jul 29, 2007, 08:02:31 PM »

Beastmaster will be there too...she doesn't have the Mammoth's recognition yet though...

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #2726 on:** Jul 30, 2007, 04:32:24 AM »

Next question to figure out is I need taller gears, the engine has so much torque that 5.29's and 38's is too low.

Do I change to 4.88's in all three thirds or go from 38's to 42's?

42's might rub a bit and I will have a tough time getting it in the garage. That and I might start breaking more parts.

It will take about a week of working nights to change all the gears and I only have about 4 weeks at best.

go from 38's to 42's?

And if your Mammoth rubs in the garage, cut the garage out

MiniSimp · « **Reply #2728 on:** Jul 30, 2007, 06:17:20 AM »

I say 42's and air down to get in the garage.

BUBBA · « **Reply #2729 on:** Jul 30, 2007, 06:23:50 AM »

go with 42's,then you can give me a good deal on the 38's
