Nah, first time I drove it I was wearing shorts and flip flops. I guess now it should be the "Spring has Sprung Beater Build".
Well, the truck is running great but I still haven't had time to do the rear axle seals/bearings and finish the brakes. The e-brake works though, and there's a huge high school parking lot near our shop... who needs brakes if there's nothing to run into? Had a few buddies over Saturday riding my '83 Yamaha 80 Enduro and we decided it would be a good idea to drive the truck over to the lot to see how it drives/shifts, which quickly turned into seeing how well the truck ran around the islands at the end of the lot, slolom style.
I need a good baseline to compare against Goldilocks, right? Once I get brakes on it (and all the junk out of the bed!) I'll take it back and see what kind of lap times it runs.
It definitely needs sway bars front and rear, and a quicker ratio steering box would help immensely!
First vid is me driving, and the second is my buddy Logan.
