[turbomonty]

i got the rear straps on, preloaded 2".

 

[turbomonty]

got the winch controls all hooked up nice and new stuff on there.
good thing the third members is cracking in half other wise i would be out there driving to the mall for the 8$ cookie and 10$ julius

 

[turbomonty]

if it is strong enough for a seat belt, then it can help out the "load bearing roof rack"!
help stabilize that D pillar

 

[Turboyota]

Hell yeah. Let’s see the roof rack and roof penetrations

 

[turbomonty]

My buddy Kevco Engineering has a very similar mezzanine setup on his bronco. That thing fucks pretty hard—I’ll likely build something similar for @FatJeff’s 4Skinner once he stops being a brokedick.

 

[turbomonty]

brokedickness can effect us all.....

 

[turbomonty]

out with the busted aluminum china and in with some american iron

 

[turbomonty]

Man,of course the new locker drives plush unlike the spool!

so winters here and i forgot to do a thing.
water pump did not spin this morning at 28 degrees outside......

 

[96f-u250]

Uh-oh. Is all the water atleast still inside the motor?

 

[turbomonty]

i drained a bunch and put in the green poison

so, i have in my trans controller to shift up for me at what ever rpm i like.
i do about 5500 as the rpm will sling up past this pretty quick to the 6000 megasquirt limiter. it takes time to make the shift....
i have only tested it a little at the car gets pretty wild but bogs in the next gear. i am pretty sure it jumps all the way up to 6th gear and my delay of 2 seconds to recheck the auto shift up conditions is ignored.
but now, i can see when it is active and what gear it goes too!

left shows what gear the shifter is in and also 1-6 if in drive. so ( N R 1 2 3 4 5 6 )
top right only lights when the condition is present and prints the prescribed rpm for this is at
lower right is also when the condition is present and the TCC turns on, it will print
