San Diego BS Thread.

Okie dokie, I’d love to see it too! Haha.

My typical Friday night for this week anyway…I don’t get out much since I’m always working, usually until about 12am lately.
About to put the clutch on the crank, pop on the transmission and then I can stab the entire assembly as once piece since that’s how I built this setup.
She’s gonna be a spicy one.

 

A little Early morning Desert run/loop Saturday.

Near the end the "clunk" and other noise is the King bump hitting the LCA strike pad and the limit strap loading and unloading.

wake up, wake up! looks like a blast, I'm gonna try to go out next weekend Sat morning for a day run... probably a bad idea since it'll probably be busy

 

Thats why I went super early, although the overlanders camped in the slot canyons hate me but oh well. Desert season is near its end so its not as crowded as you think. Biggest hurdle is the overlanders/campers and weekend photo bugs, yes the desert flowers are in crazy bloom too, so lots of folks out taking pictures.

 

I love the photo shoots where they lay half way in the road... LOL.

 

or park in the middle of the road and run out in the fields and leave their vehicles blocking the road...yup ive seen it.

 

hahahahahaha

 

Another Epic day in the Desert. Temps are definitely on the rise.

It’s running again finally! But now as a 6.3 instead of the original 5.7 and the displacement was added by using a longer stroke crankshaft and honing the cylinders to the new bore dimensions with a completely forged rotating assembly.

it was running on 7 cylinders due to a cracked spark plug shorting itself and refusing to spark in the proper place and one of my rear water vent line fittings got damaged and has a pinhole in it.
Getting the new plugs today and new fitting tomorrow so I can start getting it all buttoned up and the dash fabricated (using a Holley Pro-dash for instrumentation) so that will be pretty awesome.

Once that’s done I can achedule some dyno time and then I can program the ECU and see how it goes! Can’t wait to have it done”ish” since I still have to convert to AWD eventually, that’s going to be rather tricky.

Hope you are all having a great week and enjoying the warm temps today.

 

not a lot of extra room in that engine bay…what’s that saying? 10lbs of shi in a 5lb bag?

 

SUV’s dark rims helped convict Off Road Warehouse bookeeper for arson: DA – NBC 7 San Diego (nbcsandiego.com) They did good work on my old truck. I remember when it happened, I thought it was a shop material caused fire. Surprised at the turn of events.

 

Hope everyone is having a good weekend, Desert is too windy so I find myself playing with making videos.

what kind of setup is needed for corral canyon sidewinder? Forest service told me it’s supposed to open back up today or tomorrow

is wrecking a door garunteed?

im guessing no and that only minimal setup needed.
Bronco Peak and Bronco Peak Connector on the other hand…

 

With all the rain lately that place is guarenteed to be fucked up, I wouldnt say wrecking a door is guarenteed, but it's likely lol

 

damn. Worst I can do is try I guess.
VOTM is nice but falls off after the gatekeeper. Fun but then pretty much flat and boring after that
Especially if it’s a second time after already doing it before

trucks armored so hopefully hit slider and not door.

 

Nice little family day @ fiesta.

 

A few places can get pretty close to body damage, sliders a must, under chassis protect too and a good spotter in places

 

That looks like a lot of no for me. I hate those "lean into the rock wall" trails

 

Congrats Jason... I know this has been along time coming. Hope you get the bugs worked out!

 

Test drove a 4th gen today.......Ya not impressed at all. Although I do wish the suspension seats you could buy as a replacement for the 2nd gen seats.

Keeping the 2nd gen and installing a supercharger.
