Found her about 2 hours away from a guy who just bought an enclosed trailer at auction and found it packed nicely inside. Everything is there and it included a new spare engine and carbon fiber snow skis all for...

    Frame red flag?

    Well it looks like that section of the Torque box is Toast but fortunately not a serious problem. The section should be cut away back to clean metal and treated. I sourced replacements on Amazon and welded in a new section.

    Redline and the X-15

    So #1 son used the MT-90 on the 99 project and picked up a whine so being an AX5 Jeep I'm checking around it seems the AX-15 is not on the dropdown choice for transmission on their site. Advance adapters has the Redline MTL 75W80 GL-4 as the correct choice for the AX-15 otherwise results are...

    Playing with a frame flush

    Picked up a cheapo aquarium pump and 15' of vinyl hose to circulate some evapo rust across the inside bottom of the frame. Used a pool noodle and tie-wraps to close up frame openings where necessary. Been testing with water for the last 2 hours without drips so time to swap in the solution.
