Just My LUCK
Well the Damage continues............. As i am out gathering supplies for todays engine removal the truck starts acting funny and making lots of noise... so i limp her home and start tearing into it instead of the sled.. no point having a sled working and nothing to pull it to the trails.. well this is what i find.. Yep Broken roller rocker.. crappy part they only sell these in a set of 16 not seperate. so couple hundos later get the parts and head home to fix... now truck is all better time for the sled... Motor extraction was easy.. on this sled couple buddies showed up just at the right time and it is now out.. Heat exchanger was ordered on Monday and should be here next week and track should be here from the states tomorrow.. so things are starting to look better now if all goes well i will have something to ride next weekend besides a loner yammie at the -*test*-('") rides on sun.. Here are a couple pics of the chassis and motor seperated...

Well so much for last nights snow fall prediction, I don't even think a single flake fell from the sky :? This would work if it held true .........

It is just waiting for me .. i am trying to hurry up for you guys so we can have snow again but don't worry the heat exchanger is coming out today and then all i need is parts and its time to slap her back together.. even though it would be nice if we did get some snow now that way there is time to setup the trails for me so they are perfect for when the Xer hits the snow again... 8)

Mechanically challenged
It never rains but it pours! First the ProX and now the hauler! Good thing you're mechanically inclined (not to mention he can cook ladies!) I was up to Port this afternoon to take the cover off the Altima and warm her up for a while. The land trail will need LOTS of snow to fill in the washouts. Let's hope mother nature dishes us up about six inches worth this week so you have lots to -*test*-('") the ProX with next weekend!

Well Here is a progress report..... It was a busy night tonight was able to come home early from work and head straight into the garage.. picked up my first tool at about 430ish after ALL the phone calls... and well it is now 9:30 and i have decided to call it a night. as the motor is in and running... just need to bleed the cooling system, and adjust idle.... the track and suspension are in.... just need to adjust track tension and then just need to take it to the snow for a shake down ride.. i will be bringing a tow rope JUST IN CASE!!!!!!

Well Kev... the trails are open! Someone needs to christen them before the weekend! Hopefully no more tows this season! That reminds me I need to equip the GTX with a tow rope ... just in case :P
