Looks a bit like Brown's rig. Nice choice of color, I think that's what I'm going with for my s10.

Got it from a guy in Salem awhile back. I actually put all the dents(and removed the trim the same time) in the passenger side myself getting sexy with a tree. Got the color idea from Dan(gofastcrackpipe) when I saw his first Army truck.

Got my new carb today yesterday!!! Holley TA 670. Started installing it last night but it got dark. Got it running pretty good by installing the blue pump cam in hole #2. Going to check the float levels and fine tune the idle mixture in the morning. Then off to Sandlake this coming Sunday for a couple days to try it out.

Carb is running good. Stutters a bit when cold but runs really well once it gets warmed up. Took it offroad for a quick ride and seems to work really well. Haven't had it at too extreme of an angle....yet.

So, I have since removed and put new gaskets on the intake manifold. I installed new Thrush welded turbo mufflers on which are alot louder than I expected. Got a trip permit yesterday and actually drove it around on the road. Need to wash all the damn tree sap off and figure out why the brakes are so soft. Bled them for a long time and don't see any leaks. I am thinking it is the proportioning valve. I also noticed the transfer case shifter is really lose.

Little Update: Well, I figured I had better replace my heater core so I have a heater/defroster for muddin. Halfway in I decided to just start ripping out the old unit since the vacuum lines were cracked and busted and pieces of the heating duct were missing. I ordered/installed a summit mojave heater and fabbed it up to the stock defrost duct. Works pretty darn good now. Didn't get any pics since I was scrambling to get it done during the hail/snow/rain/sun/hail today. Also received my highsteer kit and shackle flip from 4WD Factory and will be installing it with the D60 after muddin on the farm. Slowly but surely.
