Hell Hole!

Rubicon!

Tough because we are going to Lassen National Park the week before but great to have ample notice. Maybe I can make something work. Do you think it is 10AM at spillway to get bags or at the work location?

I just did it

I’m a big fan of locker in the front. It does not push through turns like a rear locker does. The front locker pulls you into the turn. 4.88s is nice, especially with a bigger gear set than D30.

Anyone have a spare Renix 4.0L block taking up space?

Yes, that would be great for a buggy build! Just replace the 2.8L with a 3.4L and the 231 with a Dana 300….
