Sounds like an awesome rig you're working on. Can you post some pics on the thread. Visalia is close to Bakersfield, If you want to hit up Gorman for a test run let me know, nothing beats the sound of a V8.

To be honest , I am a little jealous of you guys . I miss Gorman and Miller jeep trail . I learned how to wheel there . I've done Miller in my stock 1961 Willys wagon once and have done it many times in my JKUR .I ended up selling my house down there , quit my job and moved to Reno to be closer to the Rubicon !( and to get the hell out of Ca.)Good luck !

I'll take you guys up on your generous invitations!!!! Lets go wheeling...Trying to work out my C.A.R.B legalities with B.A.R. . Put the jeep on the tail pipe sniffer today,PASSED. Then went on the dyno for more emissions testing,PASSED.Now, I need to drive far enough to get O2 tests run in the pcm.
