Great work Team Canada!

 

[arnott1t]

Trans is in and t case will be assembled this afternoon

 

[arnott1t]

Trans and t case are both in and shifting smoothly so far. We haven't started or even attempted moving it yet though. Have the diff mostly assembled but need to get a new dial indicator as mine has broken... Grab a new one of those and it should be done in short order.
Ivan is fighting the starter into position.

Won't be long now

Test drive is complete! Drove great. Shifted even better. Running like a top

 

[Ratpuke]

Quick. Break something so they can't leave.

I think it would be rude of them to leave a day or two from Christmas.

Especially if they can cook.

Great work on their rig you two.

 

[Ratpuke]

To celebrate they are baking peanut butter chocolate chip cookies.

 

[offkilter]

What an excellent pre-christmas story !

 

[Gun Runner 5]

A good running 70 Series plus cookies ..... Cool

More testing today on the local trails


This was a hunting trip for a Christmas tree

Truck ran great again and did impressively well in the snow
