shit that thing climbs that ramp deceivingly well :D

I thought I'd seen some pics of the engine before, maybe my dialups too slow to download them now or it was a different thread, what is it some sort of chrysler engine, was it a conversion or did it come out with it?

should be some fun in it over at westport :D

top looks sweet dude, I want to close mine in like that as well, did you buy it like that or get bits added to the old one?? I have seen a motor trimmer and he reckons he can add to mine to enclose it, I have the plastic bits for the door surrounds off my old soft top, so it shouldn't be too hard to do, cost will be the decider I guess, how much for that one if I can ask

cheers

Is it the frame side? That TRE should have a castle nut and a split-pin to stop getting it undone. At axle end, you can use a second nut to act as a stop/lock for the first nut.

Is yours adjustable with a lock nut? A photo would be helpful.
