Took the trailtruck out last week for a shakedown run. It's not finished but it was time to start finding the weak spots. I had what I thought was a carb issue(rich and inconsistant) turned out to be a weak coil. Broke the weld in the Lincoln locker first thing, no problem thats an easy fix. Still having a little bit of a heating issue(200 to 210 while sitting still out on the trail). I'll try a different fan and play with different thermostats and possibly have the radiator changed to a pressure system before its next outing. Other than a few minor issues it went well and it should turn out to be a fun truck to play with.
Next on the list are fenders, a rollcage/seatbelts, disc brakes, front locker(lockrite) and fuel injection. Lots to do before all the spring events.
