Flavor Saver! :D And thanks.
What flavor might you be saving in your "racing stripe" there, Justin. Might it possibly be fish taco flavor? :eek: :laughing:

BTW, Saturday is the Utah Undie Run - supposedly 15,000 will be running downtown in our skivvies to protest how uptight Utah is while trying to set a Guinness record! Should be FUN! I wanna go as a Banana in a banana hammock but I'd prob'ly get arrested.

Just read the thread and now it's dead.
Need an update!
How's the Trailphoon going?
I have a black Typhoon so this is my kind of build. :yesy:
Had a 2.8 Jimmy in '95 too but had to sell it after 11 months when my employer went bust. Loved that truck. Wanted a Typhoon since then and bought it 4 years ago.
The stripped down engine is still in the kitchen! :p
Hey Monstertrucker, I can't beleive someone I don't know was actually viewing this thread! I don't visit vx.info much anymore. But some folks asked in Moab about this project so here is an update.
The last 2 weekends have been all garage so the house and yard are farked!
Anyway... I remove the engine when I need to. As it sits here is how it will sit in the vehicle. The axles are also on casters; so is the frame..

All squared up and level. Notice how easy it is to reposition the outriggers... all by design. Giggity giggity...

My first bends!! I am proud of how all this came together. I bought BendTech Pro but have not even used it yet. I didn't want to waste tube on calibration haha

Everything is square and level too!

Bending is a workout, btw...
