Vin, that's very nice indeed. Are you going to leave the road tyres on?

Yes. This one has so much work done, it really is not a show car. The road tires make it safer and more comfortable for riding. If someone wants the mil tires, they can cough up the money for them.

After driving this MUTT around some, I realized it had some bugs. The noise it made was horrible. So, I swapped out the rear differential. I really could not tell where it was coming from. That did nothing to quiet it down. Since I bought two complete power packs a couple years ago from a storage warehouse, I pulled one of the trannys, and prepped it for this MUTT. This morning I worked on resolving a fuel gauge issue. After lunch (1PM), I pulled it in the garage, and started pulling the power pack. At 5:30, I drove it out, completely finished, and it now sounds great!

Changed out the leaky front differential yesterday an took it for a 60 mile ride. This is one of the quietest MUTTs I've driven.
