things are going ok, got all the electrical bugs out, although AL can't seem to find a wiring harness still. I found the air filter was being sucked in to the intake which was causing some problems. My new topend should be here any day, the current one smokes like a two stroke.
just mounted the sand tire on it, which is extremely hard to do btw :X . and am planning to test that out today. i have a a short cell phone vid of it i may upload soon. gtg to my last day of high school cya!

tested out the suspension more today, the more i use it the more i like it, this DNM shock is very nice, it doesn't throw the front end down like the stock shock did and is very smooth on potholes.
Thanks for all the congrats also!

ok found two weak points yesterday, the chain adjuster on the sprocket side got pulled into the frame, and the top shock mount bent. i fabbed two new caps out of 1/4 inch steel and am working on a new shock mount design. the way the old one failed is quite impressive, no welds broke, just a 1x1x1/4 piece of angle iron twisted.

You need a real shop for your talents, WA......I think they call it NASA. 8)
I want to wish you the best in your new adventures.....and congrats on graduating HS. It was the day I felt the most 'free' in my entire life. Just give us older guys some hope. Keep your mind on your education target. The temptations will be there to taste 8) .....but don't let them shift your focus. :wink: Good luck, dude. It's truly nice to see some gumpshin out of a man your age.....but Mrs 2LZ and her dad have spent a bit of time in AK working the Iditarod. Seems 'real men' are a fairly regular sight there! Carry on!
