Damn, I've been real slack at finishing this thread up. Hate it when people leave me hangin...

Yeah, it's done. Runs like a top. Put 35x12.50R15 BFG KM2's on 15x8 Satin Black steel wheels with 3.5" BS. I have a couple thousand miles on it so far. It was uneventful until I hit a deer in the middle of the night coming back from winning a chili cook-off at a friend's house. Folded the driver's fender down onto the tire, almost stopping it at 50mph. Miraculously, it didn't cut it or flat-spot it. The impact shorted out some wires that started a small fire. I got stopped, put it out, rigged the wiring back up so I could get the family home. It sat for a couple weeks while I gathered parts. Russell and MarkG helped me with those (thanks a ton guys!)

Then, my daughters car shat the bed. And she told me her and her husband were expecting. July 26th is the due date. So, my rig took the back burner while I overhauled some of the systems on the 93 Accord I bought her as a college grad present. Can't have my first grandkid stranded with a broked!ck car. That ate up a couple weeks.

Last Monday, I was off work. It had already snowed a heap, then sleeted on top of that. So, if I was going to be mobile in the mess to come, I had to get her back roadworthy. And I did. Fabbed up a couple brackets to more solidly mount the Taurus fan. Did the body work. Tidied up some electrical and vroom-vroom. She performed flawlessly thru all the snow, ice and rain. It was alot of fun to be back on the road again. I'll get some current pictures added soon. I'll also document the brackets I made for mounting the fan, in case anybody's interested in having me make some more.

As far as URE goes, I've had schedule or financial conflicts come up everytime I've planned on attending. So, I ain't saying nuthin right now <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
