No its reg is in a exempt area, and I love the holley, right now its stock besides vent flutes so I still have to put a modified vent tube and spring loaded needles and seats, but for what it is I have had no problems getting what I want from it. I have used holley for years and when you mod them for offroad they work great, the trick is when crawling is lowering the fuel pressure as not to overflow the floats, most of the time I use 2-3 psi when crawling, also there is antislosh foam that you can put in the float bowls to help as well. I recently saw this little deal that bolts to the powervalve and changed the jets to a low center feed and prevents them from being uncovered, Ill see if I can find the link.
The one think I learned recently is using a wideband O2 makes this so much easier and cut and dry that this truck is the best running carb vehicle Ive had. If you don't have a wideband get one. the AEM uego is 164 bucks and worth it.

Tweaked on carb some more, installed manual choke. also took the wife and kid on a trail ride with some friends! It was a hoot. Man loving life right now. even being broke those little things make life good.
Been working on this bad boy a lot lately trying to get it where I would like and I am close, we towed her out to the local spot and she did well and the only casualty was one tube in my radiator and my water pump.
I went ahead and patched it up with jbweld hope it holds, I found two leaks one tube that was worn from those zip tie hold deals for my Trans cooler and the water spout was cracked on the upper hose.
The wife snapped this pic and I gotta say she's looking good. I have some go pro from the maiden voyage that's really funny I'll edit that and post it up.
Well my fixes worked! I did some plastic welding on my coolant resivoir which seems to have worked well. I also mounted my trans cooler finally!
I got some strap from Home Depot and used my small ass vise as a makeshift brake. It's not perfect but it will do for now. I need to get a graduated temp gauge.

So I am at a crossroads sort of, I got the bike for sale and when it sells it will free up some cash for military tires, and some other little stuff, I cannot decide wether to buy some ord bilsteins or get used resivoir shocks. I'm trying to keep it under 200 for both shocks if I can. I don't have the funds to go crossover right now so I gotta make what's under there work as good as it can. I have the procrap mx6 u dee the front and they feel like there isn't enough rebound damping and its bouncing a bit. I have them on the stiffest settings and they work on but not as good as the rear bilsteins.
I got some video it's kinda crappy but at least you can hear horepower! https://vimeo.com/119066282

You live in cali. I see deals on used shocks out there all the time.
Just do some looking. As far as crossover, look at SBD's build. He is running push pull steering with bypasses front and rear and his suspension works great.
Honestly I dont think I even knew that until after I did crossover. Otherwise i woulda prolly just kept the push pull a bit longer.
His shock mounts are on the inner C itself, so the steering arm just rotates around the shock. Pretty freakin cool actually.
