    LOTS of really good cases for a 8000-9000 rpm DESTROKED LS ;) not for a wheeler, valve trrain is still the limiting factor to get 10000 rpm and the car i'd putting in is still under wraps :p however it needs a certain sound to pull it off


    and its not all that expensive to be honest about the same cost as building a 6.0L up.....

    I just got off the phone with one of our suppliers from Salmon Arm BC, who was kindly looking for some money...and what a character of a canadian he was eh!

    This guy told me he was going to be at the resort in December and hes bringing me some good Canadian whiskey...and of course i immediately thought of of you and told him about my experience with Gibsons and my Alberta bretheren. :D

    Just gotta mount it to the bed. This and running wires for the ARB fridge I am borrowing are my last 2 projects left.

    seems like a lot of maintenance falling on my to-do list getting ready for moab...recent trip into the flat tops brought this repair to light and glad i got this taken care of before going any further...

    [​IMG]

    not sure how the turnout will be this year with the toned down nature of Rock Therapy this year, but i'm excited to get back out there and see everyone again!

    we'll be shooting for the sites by the dunes, but will definitely bounce around to see everyone at the other locations.

    hoping to add in an overnight trip into the swell at the end of the trip...

    there's actually a company out there building these. They are selling for the 30-40K range depending on what you want. I think Rocktoy is like $1100 into this one so far.

    Yeah, I figured this thread would've blown up by now.

    I've been busy getting ready for our two week road trip.

    Updated the tired, old, sticking, surge brakes with new electric brakes on the trailer

    LED tail lights and LED pod reverse lights on the trailer.
