Pics or it didn't happen, bonus points if you get the forest fire in the background.

On a serious note, don't catch fire up there, I hope they get it under control soon.

Huh, no more island vacations? I thought I heard you all were heading to a winter wonderland, I guess sand and snow are similar. As always be safe.

Not truck-related but the little Honda I rebuilt with the big bore kit is running fantastic! No more smoke but it will shoot about an 8" flame out the tractor muffler. I think I got the jetting just right too.

mine's a one-off gig to go be flight safety... which is much better than getting volun-told to sit in a dungeon for the same amount of time in just-as-bad a place (or worse).

8" flames... 8" exhaust...
not necessarily useful but sure good for bragging & creating more pleasureful noises.

Well, that sounds like a decent gig, get away from the same ole dingleberries anyway.

Anything bigger than 6" is good I suppose


Spent all easter ripper-doddle-doing around and didn't have any issues except... After a good 5 or 6 minute run in 5th gear with the throttle pinned wide open, I started smelling smoke from the poly muffler mount bushing turning to goo. Can't complain tho because the cheap little POS is a wildebeest with the new motor, Its neck breakability has definitely increased.

Buddies 408 Denali did good, It really pulls great in the bottomless sugar sand where a lot of newer, bigger tire trucks were getting stuck. If you look closely at the bottom right of the second picture you can see a muffler weld broke which made the trip back a little loud.
