Well I just got done with my 500 mile road trip. Lifted is actually nicer for road trips. Scary in some spots but thats because of the bald summer tires on the front and the what I think have turned into bad wheel bearings.

 

Started as a small grind, and now its horrible. Doesnt seem to have a problem rolling though.. The lift shouldnt have changed the pitch on my tires in the front would it? Its as loud as driving down the road with new super swampers on.

 

Carb did ice up a few times.... Shoulda kept the stock airbox... Anyone have any interesting ways to hook up a hot pipe to a SPFI air intake? I was gonna weld a fitting onto the SPFI airbox and run flex tubing to the box but I'm not sure if its gonna get hot enough air to keep the carb from icing up. Gotta get it fixed, its killin my mpg. Drove 375 miles today, burned 22 gallons. 17 mpg

 

All the bolts stayed tight the whole drive. checked em every 100 miles.

Where was your 500 mile road trip to?

That would have been Soldotna to Fairbanks.
