ARCHIVE Wits' End Turbo Test Mule #3- no cartwheeling allowed

[NLXTACY]

Joey you should test/make a hood vent that doesn't cut on the underside structure of the hood. Then make them and sell them with a template to cut and installed DIY. I am buying the Turbo Kit, I am worrying on underwood temperatures. Would be awesome a custom vents for us 80s owners. It could be CNC machined or 3d printed.

I'm not totally convinced that the hood louvers do much. The FLIR testing can confirm.

Your timing will have you passing by the Great Smoky Mountain Trail Ride north of Knoxville (13th-18). Depending on departure timing you may run into a group traveling there. Upstate Cruisers (Greenville area) usually meets at Sierra Nevada Brewery in Asheville before convoying in. GSMTR 2019 | May 13-18 | Windrock Park

@NLXTACY I-70 most of the way back ? If your hitting KC area between lunchtime and dinner I have some recommendations for you if your into BBQ. Some of the very best in the country.

Nope, he's too far SOUTH........ More through the Dallas area than the KC area. I was hopeful, too, but no luck. We don't get to meet Royalty this time either..........

This thread is quickly turning into a "Will I get to meet the man, the myth, the legend???" That said.....Wisconsin pit stop???

40 runs thru Amarillo. Too far North of Dallas.

Prepare to be woefully underwhelmed

Nice new rig Joey! Looks a helluva lot better than that overheating/interior panel missing crapper currently in your driveway! You gonna actually drive this one somewhere other than sushi night?

Is it just a line of ten graffiti-covered Cadillac wrecks buried nose-down in a littered, treeless farm field -- or is it art?

I don't want to offend anyone but Having driven 40 many times, and if I were to enjoy the trip/view/food, i would go up or down to hit KS for food or drop further in to TX. I've just made that trip so many times and 20, 44, 64, 70, 10 are all more interesting. However there is a few cruiser guys in OK that would appreciate the visit I am sure.

Let us know when you set off... we need all available mudders along way to be ready for your 1fz’s headgasket needs:

Good luck, and safe travels.

Also, add checking the lug nuts to you’re pre departure list. Few things suck worse than wheel hub separation 300 miles after purchase!

Also, we can compare temps. I’m running Trail Specs 3 piece louvre set.

Good luck on your trip Joey.

In b4 page 2. I feel like I got in on the ground floor.

If you're in on the first 20 pages, it's still ground floor
