Default Re: Fordyce In June...

Craig, I tried to respond to your pm, but you are over your storage limit .

I have a couple things I still have to do on my rig before I want to take it out on the trail.

1) Put an extra leaf in my rear spring packs. I'm sagging pretty good in the rear. Jeff suggested putting a stock main leaf in and cutting off the eyes. I have 4" skyjackers, but the added weight of the cage is too much for them. Do you have a set of stock main leaves in your pile?

2) Put the mini starter I bought from Jeff in, and do the Ford solenoid conversion.

3) Put in a second battery and wire up a marine battery select switch that I just got from Jeff.

Today I put a fan shroud on and a set of hood louvers. When I swapped from the headers to the stock manifolds the temp went up. Not a lot, but more then I would like to see it. I also plan to hole saw a couple holes in the inner fenders (like Jeff's Scout) just to move more heat out of the engine compartment.

If I can get most of this crap done before the Fordyce trip I would like to go.
