Cool! Thanks. I'd like to do a day trip with you some time to get a taste of it. Keep me in the know! I'm up in north Reno, near 395 and N. McCarren.

 

[rockmad]

Ok, we are in north Spanish springs.

 

[colbystephens]

Cool. Went out to the Wind Caves tonight to double check our route, and drove right through there.

 

[rockmad]

We have plans in the am tomorrow, otherwise I would tag along to see them. I am planning a test run for the afternoon. Have to see if I can talk my dad or brother to come with.

 

[rockmad]

Well, we went on our first shake down run this morning. Had a great run until the rear D-shaft found a rock.

 

[colbystephens]

Bummer. Guess it's time for a trip to Bayshore. And, at least you didn't mess up the expensive part.

 

[rockmad]

It's my weak link. Is bayshore cheaper than drive line services?

 

[colbystephens]

I've only used Bayshore, so I don't know. Good guys to work with. I chose to go to them only because I'd read a couple unhappy reviews of DLS. But, I imagine the quality of work is the same. Might see about using thicker wall material for the driveline.

 

[rockmad]

That was .120 wall. I hit it hard. I don't think anything could live after that.

 

[colbystephens]

Damn!

Bringing this one back from the grave . Cool build. Any updates as of late?

Yeah, I just read this whole thing, never seen it before.
