      Putting the bumper on today and discovered I'm missing some fasteners. One trip to the parts house later and I'm all set I think.

          Title in hand, heat sensor fixed, I've got some reassembly left but it drives and seems to be fine. The steering a bother though I will admit. It runs a little hotter than I'd like but time will tell if that's a problem. I need to go through and re-tighten some stuff for safety sake. It's not cherry by any stretch of the imagination, but it will do. Still need to make it legal but now that's just paint by the numbers.

          Snow, lol, bring it

            That's how my 4wd has been for ages... not legal. I just haven't had it running for long enough to have it legal all legal and insured.

                  I took the sled over the the mall parking lot. Not enough snow for a good time. The car started making noises around the rear of the tranny over a certain speed so I babied it back home. It's back in the garage now drying off and waiting for the ramps and creeper. Tomorrow I hope. The engine performed well and I got some cookies in before time to come home. Yea, enough snow for some fun for sure.

People who race cars of any kind think motorcycle racers are absolutely off theirs meds. But there's one group that everyone agrees is made up of the most extreme, the most daring, and absolutely craziest people in racing - rally racers."

                      If you want to go for a cruise no prob. It's not legal yet and probably won't be for a while. I can usually get around the block with not too much notice though. I think I have next weekend off. I'll let you know.

                        Got around and worked on the B4pro today.
                        I realized the marker lights didn't work so swapped out the fuse. It's all good now. On a long shot I reseated the rest of the fuses just to see if I could get the dash lights to work. Success! This was a pita to figure out.
                        Am looking for a center piece for the steering wheel. Just about time to put the dash back together. I might actually be able to get this up to DEQ pretty soon.

                                Should I put this in my exhaust thread instead? No cat didn't seem to matter.
