Brink's '09 Mods
« on: May 18, 2009, 09:52:02 AM »
Mods for the '09 season are finally underway for my own rig.  This post can catch everyone up that's been pm'ing me and calling wondering what I'm up to.  Here's the catch up on it....


First up was to fix both front knuckles.  Didn't know it but when I came down off the Tower of Terror at the Expo I broke both front steering knuckles and blew the top right out of a solid alum high steer arm...

Drivetrain pulled...





Big thanks to Waytec for all his help with pulling and installing engines.  Here's he's getting things ready for the 500ci Caddy to drop in...

Looking good Eric... nice to see you working on your own rig again. Hopefully I can come to your neck of the woods this Summer, wheel with you and Aaron, and see your Jeep in action... It's been a long time man.
