ALMOST DONE!!!
Paint is finished, wiring is just about done. Waiting on 2 70 amp relays from 12voltguy to wire my electric fans. Guages, switches, propane, rock lights are all hooked up.
Need to install my ram horn manifolds then run plugs/wires. Need new radiator hoses and then it will be running

WAHHHOOOOO ITS RUNNING!!!!!
My friend came over and helped to get the disty in right, wasnt a big deal.
Hooked up the plug wires and she fired right up
Idles perfect, good throttle response so I think the timing is just about dead on.
Sounds good with open rams
Everything was cake except that I forgot to hook up the tranny lines
So when it was running I felt my pants getting wet, I mean I was happy but not that much
. Had about a half gallon of tranny fluid shot on me 
Jeez I love propane
We are trying to get a local test run together for this weekend so hopefully ill be done by then.
Im stoked

Well today I went out to a buddy's place and had a test run.
The truck performed AWESOME. I m very happey how it turned out, much different then full bodied.
The place that we went had gotten alot of rain about 2-3 days before so it was very muddy which made for some fun wheeling
I hammered up a few climbs and rock ledges then I cam to this steep ledge. I tried a bunch of times crawling it, then with a little wheel speed. Then I said screw it back off about 10' and put the pedal to the floor. Well I found my weak link
Front driveshaft blew all to pieces.
Broke the joint at the pinion as well as fubaring the pinion yoke. Busted out the centering thing in the CV. I think what happened was when I hit the ledge it poped the front end up going to max Flex which was to much for it to take.
Guess ill have to run a limiting strap until I can afford to upgrade.
Anyways heres a few pics, didnt get to many because of the mud.
Overall I VERYYYYY happy with how it performed, best mod ever

Went to the 4 wheel jamboree this weekend. It was basically a joke. Very un-organized.
I got 3rd in the rock crawl because I thought the comp was on Sunday and they had it on Saturday.
It was just 3 piles of rocks. So I decided to make it fun for the crowd.
Pulled up to the second pile and when I felt my tires touch nailed it Basically jumped over the pile like a monster truck. When I hit I just turned it hard right and rolled it on the 3rd pile
I rolled it HARD. Cage didnt even budge.
On a side note my truck worked good, climbed everything I pointed it at and felt very stable doing it.

Thats freakin bad ass... Thats deffintly how im going to do a trail rig. Only i'll just buy some pos $250 hunk of crap, strip the body, do some good running gear(like yours) and tube it out. Thats jus the best way to go IMO for a dedicated wheelin rig.
