Any KOH updates?  I haven't had a chance to catch up with Joe.  And, is that my old Runner in the background on those snow pics from your 12/23 post?  Miss that truck, was hoping I'd see it in pics!

KOH was incredible. Wheeled the piss outta my runner. Ran Chocolate thunder 3 times, Lower Big Johnson, Upper Big Johnson, Boulderdash, Clawhammer and a few others I don't recall. Had the time of my life co-driving for steve925's 4508 EMC car. We had an awesome race aside from timing out do to a few issues, but we still made it to mile 88 or so. Can't wait til next year.

Yes MAD that's your old truck. TJ is really enjoying it.

Did't get that many pics from KOH but here's what I got.

Taking a break on Tehachapi pass a few hours from the lakebed.

Did some work to the truck to get it ready for MCR.

-Got new Iroks. Couldn't pass up the deal on cosmetic blems from interco.




-Discovered that my steering box was wasted. Sector shaft splines were twisted and it had about a half turn of freeplay. Replaced with a box I'd been hoarding for a while.


-The front third mounting studs had stretched and caused it to leak. Drilled and tapped for 3/8" grade 8 studs and nuts.


-Also added a sub and amp I had kicking around.

Ready for an awesome weekend trail riding.

1/18/14 Updates.

Went on a Fordyce trip in November. Very slick conditions and ended up flopping it twice. As a matter of fact, everone in our group was on there side atleast once. Good times. My trucks sheetmetal is looking pretty "seasoned" these days.





Put on a straighter set of front fenders, added some HID's and DIY beadlocks. Can't wait for KOH. Co-driving for the 4508 Mod class car again this year. Very excited!
