Well, I don't know about that.

I haven't had mine out from under the cover for over a month. I am working on my next "project"



The first step is admitting the problem... I haven't reached that step yet.

:lol: I KNOW you are talking about the vette.

The hp (engine) in the Samurai is 65hp!!!! Lots of torque with the modified transfer case though.

My next mod is probably going to be a 4.3L vortec
