Custom TBI tune. You mean they added MOAR FUEL to a setup incapable of providing enough?

Think of all the linens you could have traded that dirt bike for. You could have had a towel for every day of the week.

It has rust, and poor fuel efficiency. Johnny fell in love.

Looks like the radiator is also.

I haven't seen any rust. I took that picture at an angle the radiator is straight

Must be an odd assed angle. I count 2 rows of fins on 1 side near the bracket and 3 on the other. One bracket looks taller than the other also.

Haha awesome

went to sand lake last weekend. everyone that seen the truck there thought it was cool, even people with truly badass rigs.

i was a little surprised it has pretty good power i went up all the hills with no momentum. all the stuff you can play on around the beach it did really easy.

it was getting way too hot with the hood on, i had to take it off and it would still climb to 220-230 going up hills, these gay little fans don't flow enough air and it was hot that day.

big problem, it rides way too rough. uncomfortably rough. worse than my sandrail with no shocks, way worse. i had the tires at 15psi.

i must have pulled a half dozen of people out, and my buddy buried his cherokee in the water, sucked a bunch into the engine. cleared it out and it ran but was missing a bit, moisture in the dist, oh and the windshield wipers wouldn't turn off :homer:

blew up a trailer tire too :shaking:
