Re: PO has me PO'd
If you took a boat out here in MN in March it would look something like this... Dammit all...
Actually, depending on the weather and if it was early march, you might still drive the truck out on the lake with the boat still on the trailer.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Here's a screen shot of my current weather. I'm still waiting for the lp conversion kit for my garage heater, so no heat in there yet. This will be the coldest night since last winter sometime.
The law here says that you have to get your fish house off the lake by the end of february, but you can still haul them out there after that if the ice is good. You just can't leave them overnight after 2/28.

Re: PO has me PO'd
A little more on the thread highjack. For us, October was one of the coldest and wettest on record and we all thought, Oh no, this is going to be a rough winter.
Then November rolled in and it was actually warmer than October. One of the warmest on record, so now we think, huh, go figure. December seems normal, at least for now. I have to move some more parts out of my garage though so the wife can park inside. She doesn't like scraping the windows. She has been very patient so far. And just to segway back to the build...I really like the detail going into this build. I tend to cut corners, but can't seem to break the habit. I don't see any of that here and I admire it.

![]() Thanks HGS, nice to have someone pick up on that. It really slows my build down tho. I tend to over think every thing and put way to much planning into every part that I bolt on. It is a form of entertainment for me, sorta like a legal mistress ![]() Traded a guy in Cali (Jims Junk) for a set of 8 1/2" alum. slotted wheels, he took my 10's. So, with 10's on the back and 12" wide tires, it should just about even out the inset of the rearend. Afterall, most of the work will be done by the rear tires May have a lead on my coolant tubes

Re: PO has me PO'd
Hey Jim, I was going through all these pics (I'm on page 11 now
![]() Still quite a ways to go. Where in the world did you find poly mounts for the transmission/transfer case??? I was thinking of changing mine when I do the engine swap, but had no idea those were out there. |

![]() IIRC, I had to buy one of the mounts directly from the manufactor, Synergy. It was rather hard to obtain, but they may have gotten easier. That's one of the great things about this board someone WILL know. Are you talking the torque mounts on the side of the transfer case or the trans mount?

Re: PO has me PO'd
Energy suspension has the TC side mounts. I just get the part number from their website and have my NAPA order them.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Yep, I know how you feel, my wife drives a Malibu too.
I should see the Camaro when I get home from this underway. Ordered it while I was in Japan and I've been waiting for them to finish and ship it since I got home. Can't wait!

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks Tim, any plans for the truck in 2010?
M8000, my nephew works for Quadratech, between my sons and him they picked it out. Still have to buy the mount Nice buy on the speed warning...Tell all your Men that I personally thank them! I think of them often, and wish for a speedy return
