And it continues build thread. Dead.. sent to the scrapyard

Well after considering all my option I went and ordered a doubler... from nwf. They said they have everything in stock and will be shipping tomorrow! Best part is do not have to buy a new input for the 205! I should be fine considering my very mild small block.
 
that sounds good Jess, I know they've had trouble with delivery in the past. Stuff getting held up in customs I think was a problem too.

I knew some guys from Jersey that came out every year. All with buggys all 4 seaters so they were long. They found a guy that could get 4 rigs on a trailer.

They also seemed to be able to pick up one or two things to sell at EJS said their trip cost them about 1500 each (4 of them), thats not bad with the plane ticket and everything. Would be way more now of course. Thats when gas was still under 2 bucks a gallon

I know we are way off topic now but you can have a ton of fun in Moab in a dead bone stock truck
 
Yeah, maybe after I get my 408 in lol. This engines on its last leg, and ready to go, I gotta baby it everywhere basically, it hates city driving because the oil press drops to nothing under 1000 rpms... :doah:
 
Welded the tubes on the 14 last night started getting my stuff together for the doubler. Then I realized I had offroad ADD. I kept getting so excited about the doubler I put off everything else I should have done.

You and I suffer the same affliction!

I tend to do that. Write a list, it sometimes helps me.

But hey progress is progress :D
 
I do the same thing. Sometimes I find myself in the shop thinking about 3 steps down the project plans and then I realize I am just standing there not working on what I am trying to finish that moment.

Also, I think about so many, "what if I make it this way, or that way, or what about this method, or if I move that over there", the next thing you know a lot of time goes by and I have gotten about half as much done as I planned on.
 
:haha::haha::haha:, I also can relate to this. You've probably seen my build list, it does help keep the focus somewhat. I really like writing DONE next to an item. That's encouraging.
 
When im at work doing something and my boss comes out and says I need you to do this, so ok thats top priority now right?? Stop what im doing, Go do the new thing, day is done, come in the next day, Boss: Why didnt you get this done!. Me: WTF lol.
 
Well this weekend I cleaned up the house and asked the g/f parents if I could marry her they said yes. Then I split the case of the 203, pressed out the 14ff hubs and got the dmax dirty
