I love the bug guard!

 

[Pahelo]

Thanks, I like the bug guard too. Just hope I don't have to use it . Hey Ohe Boy, yeah I'm originally from Oahu. Moved up hea about 4.5 years ago. The wheeling is not bad. Good fun when it snows.

It's ironic that you live in a place called "Aloha".

btw, that's one funky Ex you've got there.

 

[Pahelo]

Hehe. Yeah, I was like Aloha, Oregon? What better place for a guy from Hawaii to live. LOL

Couple more. 1st one on the trail and the 2nd one after getting home.

 

[Pahelo]

Oh yeah, in that first pic of my truck parked on the trail, this is what is sitting about 10 feet from the front driver side corner: Go down to Siekyre's post.

Well, I was recently told that my ball joints were bad. I was dreading having to change them. So Siekyre came over and we jacked my truck up and he had me shake the tire while he looked at it from the backside. Then he said to take a look. I did, and sure enough my ball joints were as solid as could be. The wiggle in the tire was caused by a loose spindle nut. I am sure lucky it didn't fall off when I was driving around. So just one more problem to take care of. It sounds like I have a dead lifter. Gonna tear her apart sometime in the next couple weeks. Probably gonna replace the lifters, push rods and cam since I got her all tore apart. Fun, fun, fun....

Nice looking rig, Aloha too. I live in Eugene but go wheeling semi-often at TSF (Brown's Camp) where do you wheel?

 

[Pahelo]

Brown's Camp also. Just went this past Sunday actually. Got her a little dirty.

that thing is awesome man.

Did you noticed a difference in the OHV being bored 30 over?

 

[Pahelo]

Well, when I bought the vehicle, it was basically non-running. So I personally didn't notice any difference at all. Siekyre has a '93 though, and he said that mine definitely pulls harder than his.

Gonna probably be doing a SAS here sometime in the not so far future. Probably end up with 35s under it. Then just gonna run this motor till it dies. When that happens, then it's time for the V8 swap.
