Buchanans was a blast. I wish it was a little wetter but oh well, still had a good time. The very first time we went out we found a huge hole in the back that completely swallowed the front driver side 53" tire! But none the less the Big Block hit 8000 rpm and we pulled right out of it. I wish I could have seen it from outside. But where there is fun there is broke. We pushed the axle back a foot on the driver side and bent the leaf spring, but we fixed it. And it was back to the MUD. The second time out I found a decent mud hole, ate right threw it but on the way back I decided to stop in the middle of the hole and jump on it.........but right at the moment of rooster tail.......I broke the transmission i about 50 pieces! The housing in the front and back completly broke, the front shaft completely sheared off flush with the housing. It just gives me a reason to work on it. Im going to put a TH auto back in it, no more manual. The BUG got pretty muddy I would have to say.
If anyone got any action shots of it in the mud I would love to have a copy.
man that sucks i wanted to see that run . by the time i saw it ,it was loaded on the trailer. yeah i kept throwing alt. belts but still ran good all day until i started playing on the tanks and getting stupid i busted the rear ( axles or pinion ) oh well those axles have not been touched since they went under the first truck i built in '03 see ya jeremy's right??????????? oct 21st
