This is my last project, probably the last one I will build. Will try to list the up grades 4.3 GM V-6 .30 OVER WITH A LITTLE BIT OF A CAM, THROTTLE BODY INJECTION, MSD DISTRIBUTOR, WIRES, AND MSD 6 FIRE CONTROL. NEW WIREING HARNESS, TURBBO 350 TRANNY WITH LOCAR SHIFTER, DANA 300 TRANSFER WITH TWIN STICK SHIFTER, CASE REGEARED TO A TRUE 4.00 REDUCTION, TOM WOODS DRIVE SHAFTS, CURRY AXLES FRONT AND REAR WITH THE FRONT BEING A HIGH PINION 44, YUKON 5.38 GEARS, 33 SPLINE SHAFTS, DETROIT LOCKER; REAR IS CURRY A ROCK JOCK 60 HIGH PINION WITH 35 SPLINE AXLES; THE WHEEL BASE HAS BEEN EXTENDED 6” WITH XJ RUBICON SPRINGS IN THE REAR, RUBICON SPRINGS IN THE FRONT, I DID THE SPRING OVER MYSELF BUILDING MY OWN BRACKETS. THE REAR 12 GALLON FUEL TANK REMOVED AND A 23 GALLON TANK INSTALLED IN THE BED. I MOUNTED A LUGGAGE RACK ABOVE THE TANK TO CARRY ADULT BEVERAGES AND WHATEVER, WATER? IT HAS A WARN 16.5 WINCH WITH 3/8” VIKING SYNTHETIC ROPE. ALL NEW GAUGES WITH A HOME MADE ALUMINUM DASH. XM SATELLITE RADIO THROUGH A KENWOOD STEREO. COBRA CB RADIO BUILT IN THE DASH. IT IS RIDEING ON 35X12.50X16 GOODYEAR MTR’S SINCE SWITCHED TO BFG 37” KM2. I HAD TO INSTALL A HYDROBOOST BRAKE SYSTEM OFF OF A 1999 F-350 FORD TO GET IT TO STOP WHEN I CHANGED THE GEARING. IT WILL FLY DOWN THE ROAD AT AROUND 42 MPH, ACCORDING TO MY GPS UNIT. THE BUMPERS, TIRE CARRIER AND WINCH MOUNTING WAS BUILT BY MYSELF AS WELL AS THE NEW SPRING HANGERS. THE BOSS TOLD ME NO NEW PAINT JOB. GOOD THING, I HAVE LAID IT OVER TWICE IN THE ROCKS SO I JUST COVERED IT WITH STICKERS. CHEAPER THAN A NEW PAINT JOB AND WHOLE LOT LESS TEARS SHED OVER SCRATCHES.

Yeah I had a MSD ignition one time. It quit in the little place in Colorado called Platoro. Had to buy parts over the phone, parts flew into Alamosa and after a long drive we had the parts. Don't ask the cost! When it all shakes out, it did nothing positive for me. | |||

So far, I have had no issues with any of the MSD components. The controller was purchased used and a factory repair. I still got the full warranty. (It brakes, I get to keep both halves) It has stood up to rockin and rollin (laid it over twice). This picture was taken between Platora and South Fork….. somewhere. Since the motor I purchased had no electronics on it, I needed something and it was fairly reasonable. Maybe it was between Summitville and Platoro "We Don't Rent Pigs !" | |||
