Cams have to come from New Zealand, so they are about two weeks out. 1-2 days for final assembly and inspection and then about a week on a truck to get to me.

I'm guessing it's going to be around October before the truck is getting torn down at this point.

Fender bender on Friday while we were sitting at a light. Goof was trying to get around the back of he truck and cut the turn too tight.

Now I gotta deal with an insurance company again.

On a Positive note, I ended up ordering a new Full Race Rad to go in at the same time as the motor.

Truck is also now officially paid off!

So other “upgrades” waiting to go on
- traction bars
- Full Race V2 Rad
- Full Race Trans cooler
- Improved Racing remote mount oil cooler
- in tank Walbro pump with return system and regulator.


This S**t is getting pricey!

WTF.  That's just stupid.  Sorry to see that.

Once the adjuster clears everything, I’ll post the footage. You’ll scratch your head.

Cams are stuck in Customs. Really hope they don't get stuck for long!

Customs is a joke.  We get stuff stuck in customs all the time for work.  Hope you get your parts soon.

Man, I didn't even see the video before.  I only saw the post about the cams.  I don't mean to laugh at your expense but I'm so glad there was sound.  I loved her initial reaction.  Serious though that really sucks.

did you take this down for a reason ?

Does it work for you now? I had it as private, but changed it to unlisted.

Well, you gotta laugh. I mean the guy was completely clueless. You could tell that he didn't want to even roll down his window, he was pretty scared.

It does suck, but stuff happens I guess.

So I talked with the All-state rep today. I have $0 deductible (0% at fault) and they will give me $1000 to put towards a aftermarket bumper and fix the damage to the panel.

Pretty happy with that and bumper is on order. I have a local accessory place that thinks they know where one is in stock. That would be great, as I wouldn't have to wait for a freshly built one.

This is the one I went with.

I need to see it in person, but I may try and modify it a bit and then get it line-x'd. I think it could look a little cleaner.
