    Man I am soooooo envious. Next time you head out to Ashfork way stop in to see my brother. He's lived up there for 3 years now and has a nice spread. Working at Jakes has been better for him. He would love to see that rig. And you too. Again, I am soooo envious. I'm out of FSJ s for now but still hopin. If I wasn't out of commission I would volunteer to spray that for you. It's nice!

      Thanks Jim, good to hear from you. Tell your brother to call me next time he heads to town and we'll meet up.

        Got to put her to the test today. Ran great, but would be looking to chip it if I did a lot of towing.

          It's going to be a COOL summer...



          Sonoraed on fsjnetwork is a dealer and can beat anyone's price. Saved me over $100, which allowed me to get the style I wanted. Will post pics when I install.

              This is the Gen II mini, I didn't think I needed the IV for just a truck cab. I'm excited to get it in...

                That should cover the truck cab well. I was just saying the Vintage Air systems are great. You will enjoy it this summer. I got my mock up from the same place you got your system. Really nice guy.

                  My trans kept leaving little drips under the rear aluminum case and the last couple weeks it turned into small puddles. Found a cast replacement on Ebay for $85 shipped and no more worrying about its fluid level. Did the seals in t case while it was out. Also found it already has a 5th gear lock nut, so that's another worry off my mind...

                          Well, I guess I should give an update.
                          12 months as of Xmas eve and she is still going strong as my DD. I have just over 10k miles on her and the hydroboost is starting to leak.
                          I bought myself a chinese double DIN touch screen stereo for it(told the wife it was for backup cam), but the Bluetooth don't work so I'm waiting on a replacement. The camera works...

                                Wow, I have made a few updates on fsjnetwork, but I guess I didn't copy them over to here.
                                HEY RANG... How the he'll are ya. Just working here. Trying to pay the c.f. down enough to try for a refi, hopefully with enough extra for a shop. Fingers crossed.

                                I have been running the crap out of it. Just rolled 20,000 miles on the conversion. Have not done much but use it for it's intended purpose, work. It needs a hydroboost, this one is leaking, and I have a leak at the trans input. I'll transfer those posts now...
