Wheelin' with the new heater, broken axle

Took Tigger fourwheeling twice with the new heater.



Club Photo Albums on March 1st and March 15th.



Heat works great, but the alternator doesn't generate enough juice at idle to run it properly now, so I had to bump the idle up.



I also borrowed a tire-groover and added some tread back to the rear tires.



Groovin'



I also had to replace a broken axle shaft while I was at it - fragged the LF stub shaft on the March 1st run, wasting the spindle in the process.







Everything's still holding together after the 3/15 trail ride, but now I'm anxious to get the 33gal fuel tank installed so I can stop running out of fuel.



It might also be time to try a 4bbl again and see if I can improve the fuel mileage over the reliable-but-not-sized-right 500cfm 2bbl Holley.



I've picked up a Carter and Edelbrock and an extra 4bbl intake so I have the right pile of parts to make it work (I think)..
