happy holidays
got some pics to show, im gearing up for the multi fuel hot vapor experiment. still need to purchase parts and get time, but this christmas break has been a blast, im about to drop in a traction bar and posi in the sterling 10.25 along with its new seals and bearings and disc brakes i think this axle should put the power down and live. i wasnt crazy about running a welded locker, if i think a posi is too loose ill just go another route with a detroit or air locker, ive seen clutchless posi's too

im proud of this stereo, it has the same specs as the last one in my boat, but the boxes and panels took so much time, (fiber glass 3/4 wood with kevlar instead of fiber topped with bedliner to match) and i bought decent wire, amps, and speakers. sounds really good, tight bass that can still hold tones with clear loud full range. its taking up as little space as possible too

this thing rocks, my rear bumper will be an airtank, this is the best 12v constant duty high flow/pressure pumps i thought i could find.

so heres the deal with the front end. massive lights, massive fans and cooling, and im going to add night-vision. ive seen multiple cheap set ups with IR cameras and spotlights. for like $150 you can have a 3 megapixel camera live feed to your dash stereo/monitor and blast IR light out the front. it works well enough im going to do it and look forward to posting it, i recommend looking it up.. in complete darkness without headlights you can see perfectly up to 450 feet in some cases. and remember anything warm like a deer or vehicle or person shows up BRIGHTLY on your nightvision screen. its not as good as what FLIR (sp?) advertises but its REALLY COOL

and i know just about everyone reading this is thinking : why is he doing all this crap? what about the multifuel thing? lol i have the engine stripped down, and verified its an exact match on the outside. i know the heads and pistons are different but the ports are the same. so with exactly the same engine as i have in my truck, i will fabricate a draw through turbo set up with heat exchangers similar to smoky yunicks hot vapor engines. i will make my vapors rise, where he shows a constant downward path to the intake valve, and i will add water injection. i have a good Q JET, and HEI, with in a month ill have a borgwarner turbo, and flanges and stainless steel. im also buying a tig welder. more to come when i have pics worth sharing
