Wish I was in your area, I'd come help, pound a few beers, make jokes about mike, and learn some more stuff about zooks.  ;D

I always liked to help folks back in Indiana on stuff, if nothing else, those were fantastic opportunities to learn.

No worries, I think I got the power to
pull the taller T-case, that and the Auto
trans gives a certain amount of crawl that
a clutch can't.

I would have liked to try it tho  I'll have
to let you drive the turbo kick and see
what you think, it's more like a V6 in power,
feels weird at first, a Kick with kick  ;D

It's all good, sorry to hear about the twin
T-cases, I don't think I'm going to be able
to do the SYE either, I took Heathers 2" lift
TJ springs out and the viberation is gone,
just a little too tall for the old shaft, but I'll
get it all done one of these days.

I'll share the SYE secret with you, in P/M if
you want to know how to make it easily.

Well have to hook up in Moab. ;) I think we could discuss tracker mods all week if we wanted too. I think we could learn a lot from each other. We will have to swap rides for a short run. BTW we are gonna have to race... if you kick my ass too bad I might be in the market for a turbo. ::)

30 inch tires are actually pretty small for 5.83s and an auto. Id like to run 35s at 85mph... period! I dont care how fast I can get it there. Do you think a turbo setup could be built reliable enough to drive on long trips? I just realized what the title of this thread is!  :P  ::)

That equates out to about 125 HP hitting the road

This is from the "Poor Mans Dyno"  www.4lo.com
useing quarter mile speed or time and vehicle weight
84 MPH, 2700 Lbs (includes me |removethispart|@ 200) = 125 HP

LOL, yep it's reliable, I have a blown head gasket
from blowing the bottom radiator hose, about 10
months ago, the electric fan couldn't keep things
cooled off enough and the hose was Origional Equip

My fault, I should have replaced it many years ago.

Keep it in mind and we will talk more in moab. Ive got a 16valve so that might throw a wrench in things. Its also got a second o2 sensor behind the cat... I dont know if that matters but...

On that note Im going to bed. Im beat.



We need a sleepy face guy. This is pretty much what I look like sleeping  :P   but with my eyes closed!  ;D
