I stand by what I've told you in the past - just try and keep up! Just keep these numbers in mind - 430/550, see if you can match that!

hey, you really gotta start a build thread - pretty extreme build you've got!

Merry Christmas! :beer:

Caught up on some garage work before the holidays - cut the rear frame rails off, what got cut was a lot heavier than I thought. Now I just have to pick up some tube. All the PSC hydro stuff and ARTEC truss won't be here till the new year so i'll just be prepping the 60 till then.

Oh, and MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!

So when are the new ORI's for the rear coming? :stir:

look awesome bro. im going to new hampshire with my brother tommorow to pick up an LQ9. prepare yourself to eat my dust.....

merry x mass to you and your familly.

So... No self control eh? LOL. After our locker room chat the other day I figured you were holding off getting the engine!!!

Alright, some last of the year updates. Started mocking up the rails and hoops, I started using some old shocks and switched to the ORI's off of the front for the mock-up, at full bump there is plenty of room for the 40" tire - so no problem for 42's.

I also received a remote quick fill kit for the fuel cell from GenRight today, no more climbing around to fill up!

Did abit of work on this today, finished mocking up all the tube and will start to do the finish welding tomorrow. I then started mocking up the fuel cell basket to include some aluminum panels underneath for some heat shielding. I also reworked the shock hoops to lower the axle at full bump by about and inch, just for some fudge factor and I'm very happy with the geometry. Finished the evening with fabbing up a bracket for the quick fill cap and bezel.

I got them from a guy in TO that was parting out his unfinished project! I found them on THOR 2 days before I planned on ordering.
