Royal Sierra Posted September 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 So I got down to it this morning. Long story short the fucker runs and it runs great. Carb and timing need adjusted for it runs and drives great. My idiot friend bolted the throttle cable bracket between the weber and the adapter and it bately ran, then I fixed that and it ran nice and smooth. Stoked as fuck. Beer time. 1 Quote Link to comment

Royal Sierra Posted September 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Drove it over to Phils house today barely running so he could fine tune it. Had to reclock the oil pump 1 spline, set the timing, adjusted the float and made sure jetting was correct. Ran like a top other than needing a new accelerator pump. Drove it around for a little while today. 2 Quote Link to comment

Royal Sierra Posted November 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 The truck has been doing great. Running without a single problem. Been driving it quite a bit. My dash lights have only worked once but not too concerned about it right now. I have a 3:70 differential to swap in soon..but this weekend Im gonna have my turbines thrown on with a mk1 lip and more low, if it isnt pissing down rain. I love driving this truck. 3 Quote Link to comment

Royal Sierra Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Its in great shape. It was repainted at one time...it'll be going by this weekend. Having some sort of clutch issue but I havent had time to even look at it. I just have 4 vehicles in my apartments and am hoping they dont make me move any of them out to the street 1 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 I like the stance of the of the blue one, is it lowered? And what size tires you have on those turbines? Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Lowered on bumpstops up front, rear is 3" blocks with two leafs removed. Wheels are 15x8.5..not sure on offset but 195/50s up front and 205/50s for the rear Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 How is the ride that low? Can you still use the bed? 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 remember youll get axle wrap when removing springs. going that low is for looks. do 3 inch in rear and drop the front and call it good 2 Quote Link to comment

Royal Sierra Posted November 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 I can still haul shit but the axle hits the frame if I throw in too much weight. But i dont ever haul that much with it. I dont get axle wrap. Also, it rides like shit cuz its on bumpstops up front. I was gonna remove them but im lazy. The rear is normal 1 Quote Link to comment
