Nothing like the combination of short wheelbase, high center of gravity
and too much power to make life interesting....

I was going to turbo it but it is going to cost twice as much and I dont have the money for that. But I will have a 100 wet shot on the truck

Nope there was about 3-4 feet of water. Erik was the only one to make it threw the water out of Erik, Ollie, and I lol

Let me know when you want me to come by and freshen up your paint

UPDATE on Project "HydroLock'd"

So we pulled the pan, and what do you know...rod on cyl. #2 twisted and BROKE like a twig

So...going to take tranny out Monday, and start tearing her down...

In the meantime, Sully is sourcing parts!

Should be a nice build whatever we decide to do...
