Now you just need a spitter somewhere on there.
Or is that what the garbage can is for?

Dont you have work on the rig to do!?

I was thining about the spitter and an ashtray, but I want it detachable. Still thinking on it.

Yes, I have a rig to work on, I am waiting on motor mounts and a trans so I can float the motor/tranny in and see what's up.

I was working on a rig today.....we threw together an anti wrap bar for Marks 40. He backed up in the driveway and let the 350 talk a little and it didn't wrap at all. Hopefully it will work good in the rocks.

How did you end up running that wrap bar for Mark?
Im curious.
When we did Bolivia, I checked it out... it looked to be a NIGHTMARE as far as placement was concerned. That muffler was DEAD in the way of optimal location.
Did you get any pics of it?

No, I didn't get any pics.

Mark did some research and found this setup. It's not set extremely high off the axle like most anti wrap bars, but it seemed to do the trick. It uses a tractor dual adjustable link rod with heims at each end.

Where did you mount it on the x member?
That was the biggest issue that I saw, was a location there.

I took a spring perch, welded a bracket to it, and angled it up towards the driver side on the rear end and took another spring perch and did the same on the xmember. I was afraid the axle mount side wasn't high enough, but Mark said he did some research and saw a bunch in the similar set up. He backed up in his drive way and dumped the clutch in 2nd and let that 350 talk and the damn left front wheel came off the ground, NO PINION MOVEMENT!!!! I was pretty shocked!

Oh, my avatar....that was a few years back, Halloween, in Los Angeles....Fun stuff, face painted like a skull, an Asian straw hat, and a pair of Elvis glasses with sideburns included!
