Will do. First trip out in the new buggy since several changes. Fingers crossed no issues.

We are going to Crandon International Raceway to learn a few things.

I saw you were on the registration list. The short course racing with landrush start will be slightly different than dodging trees down here!

Thanks for guiding me Travis.
Had a blast hanging out with him and Mike Poe.

Randomly meeting @FlatlandFSJ and @1tonyj on top of 46 was super cool! The buggy is badass !

Yup. And I got a spare too while I was at it.
Installed a new, shorter belt too. I didn't change the tensioner yet, but the spring feels pretty weak.

just glad i saw that leak before it started over heating and got bad. it was nice to have a weekend and not recover something lol

Turns out the hose wasn't pieced. It was rubbed pretty bad but not all the way though.
After I let it cool down the overflow wasn't even full but we saw it push coolant out. Also, the temp never got above 190 so it definitely wasn't overheating.

I wasn't able to reproduce the engine misfire either.

I'm not 100% confident in the buggy right now but I don't have time to work on it so I hope it does the job at Windrock.

I realize I'm asking two people that don't take pictures that often (looking at you @jeeptj99 and @Bebop :LOL:) but got any pictures or videos from this weekend?

We went and got our asses kicked and I liked it. Whole new experience watching Loren Healy fly over you as you thinking you are skying it in the jump. Very humbling.

Rode with Poe, Bill, Tallnate, Enzo, and ran into a bunch of random people I know but dont know their names. Sunday ran into the famous RickyB doing a photoshoot for something i'm not sure I can talk about but some cool rzr stuff coming. Only picture I got of mine is when it wanted it's belly scratched Friday night. So far everytime i've rode with Nate he's had to flip me back over. There's a bunch more pics on my fb if anyone wants to see them.

That FJ buggy has been one of my all time favorites.

@Dwalk scooped that up a while back. Twisted 40 will always be one of those og rigs that looks awesome.

 

[Dwalk]

Twisted 40 is a fun and stable buggy to wheel, I'll be throwing some Branik shafts in it, should be no worries after that hopefully.

I didn't get to talk to ya much after ya broke,did it get inner or a stub?

Inner as far as I could tell, I didn't have time to tear it down before I went back to work, I'm just going to replace all shafts and joints.
