    Another Tri-Cities Rockcrawl- now with shotcrete

    Hey guys, figured I would pass on the word that another competition is coming up. Im not affliated with the promoter but I figured I would pass the word on. I have been told by a reliable source that this time the rock crawl course will be constructed with shotcrete, which should be...

    Moon Rocks/Funny Rocks, anyone?

    This weekend I personally, with my own eyes, watched two rangers go from vehicle to vehicle in the Manastash camground and write tickets. He came and looked at my truck and said "good thing you have one. I just checked a group of 22 rigs and none had it" I then saw him write a couple of tickets...

    Moon Rocks/Funny Rocks, anyone?

    Northwest Forest pass, for parking anywhere basically. They were about $25 for a year or $5 a weekend if i remember right. Still have to pay the fee for the campground if your in one. Its a $75 ticket and they do enforce it. Really $25 a year is not that bad.

    Mudfest 2010 (Othello WA)

    Be careful what you wish for. Last time a guy showed up with a WWII half track, probably weighed 10 tons. I am planning on going for the rock crawl and maybe the dirt drags, need to blow the cob webs out of the truck and check for broken stuff. I had an awesome time at the last rock crawl...

    setting up gears

    Many gearsets are not marked + or -, they are just marked with the new checking distance, i.e. 3.063", which would be +.003" from the nominal 3.060". FYI I recently set up two sets of TG gears and they set up VERY easily. No idea how strong thet actually are, but set up was way easier than the...

    Tri-Cities Comp Nov. 7th

    Thats an easy one. Let people park and unload their rigs, then tech them when they register. Just like drag racing and motorcycle sound checks. Problem solved.

    Tri-Cities Comp Nov. 7th

    I had an awesome time. The rock crawl looked easy at first but only 5 of 27 either made it through without getting stuck or breaking. A guy in a toyota truggy I think ended up having the fastest time. The event was run pretty poorly but it was thier first time putting one on. I didnt get any...

    Help me build a parts list for Vortec 5.7 swap

    Also, if you are going to run AN lines you will need two adapters for the fuel lines, there are the 16 and 18mm (I think) metric o-ring to AN 6. They have them at summit.

    Help me build a parts list for Vortec 5.7 swap

    I am running the 97' 5.7l suburban in tank pump for the last couple years and love it. Mine was about $80 and came with a sock, wiring connector and gas resistant wiring. It is super quiet, sucks at all angles, its sweet.

    Late 96 4.3 harness

    You can run propane, you need an HEI distributor and edelbrock carb conversion intake. You can drop the post catalytic O2 sensors, evac system, EGR, and 4l60E controls. It is also best to get the computer reflashed, or it will have a check engine light. I am running a 99' harness and 97'...

    Tri-Cities Comp Nov. 7th

    I didnt realize there were different classes for the rock crawl, interesting. I have a new spotter for this weekend, Randy and butters will probably be working together. Did you see what the tuff truck course looks like? I was thinking of trying it too. See yah Sat.
