    They have dual fuel kits now. Drive to the trail using gas. Propane the hard sections. Gas home :D

    So the propane gives more power? Or is just better for off road?

    Propane doesn't care what the orientation of the engine is. One problem with wheeling carburated engines is the carb getting fuel starved on steep climbs. You can drive a propane fueled engine when you're on your lid. I'll find a cool video.

    Thanks man! Seems impossible to find anything reasonable with a decent yard and room to work on a truck. Hoping it settles out a bit. Trying to get on with TMWA right now for some more stable work.

    Back to truck! Is it pretty extensive to convert the engine to run propane? Seems like an awesome concept.
