Grease Monkey

Here's the vehicle weight. A few panels short and light on fuel. 

Prepping for Glamis. Working on a few details on the car today. Hope to have it all serviced and loaded in the trailer by days end.  Tomorrow prep the trailer. Wrap up the inverter/charger wiring, go thru spares, emergency and first aid stuff. Trash old foods and load the basics. 

You all have a great weekend and if your in the Huntington Beach area, enjoy the Pacific Airshow this weekend.

Ended up getting some dirt/mud/snow tires on amazon. Should be delivered Monday. 15's just not as common as they used to be.

I thought The Goo got Gills car painted it Silver sold it to @Grease Monkey who named her the Bad Bitch and effed up and sold her

Bad biatcha was initially Sandy Prisam's car, then the goo bought it. Sold it to Jerry in Havasu, Then I bought it.   It was still in the Goo's name when I got it. 

The car mentioned above is a different car.  I should have some photos of it.

Been a longer road then planned.  But I will be picking up the car from Outfront today.   John's going to weigh the car for me as well which is always nice to know.   This 3.6/3.2L engine is making 711hp on my high boost setting.  My turbo is rated for 650hp and its putting out about all it can.   Plans to run the car for this season and there's a good chance I will just leave it as is.  I have 4 boost settings to play with from 450-711ish hp on E85. 

Going to a bigger turbo has a down side and thats low end power.  I want the power now and honestly chasing more HP in this little car makes no sense.  Not that I didn't think about smaller twins, but I've got a season I'm looking forward too and hope to see y'all out there. 

Shake down might happen in two weeks.  Fingers crossed I get all my other chit done.

Thanks for following along. Ill get some photos up in the next few days.

Screen shots but you get the idea. Don’t know the shop who did it but. This is on the V Twin Visionary 5th wheel

 

Rowley White Rv is the company selling and outfitting these Genesis toy haulers.  Great company who have sponsored Glamis Veterans as well.

Worked 1/2 day yesterday. Met with the Air conditioning installer at the house in the afternoon.  Chilled in the evening.  Relaxed this morning then went to the shop.  Finished hard wiring the Xantrex 3500 inverter in the 5er.  Need to groom and tie up the wiring and install the remote and thats done. 

Should pick up the GM 52 this week.

Not sure if these are still available but I know they've discontinued these tires.  Worth a call if your in the hunt for these.

Seeing if anyone's got a set (2) laying around. 

15 inch tires I can get for my rollers. Don't need to be anything special. Hold air and some tread would be great. Need to replace mine after the Dyno tore them up. 

Thanks in advance.

Heck yeah!  Run that baby!

When John gets done, I'll have a nice set of 15" smoothies for sale!

Is this from Hp or torque?

🤣

On the Dyno now.

I have the companion 25k hitch but it fits the pucks in my bed.  Not rails.

its not a hard cut, i have room to make the turn gradually, here is a pic of the area, the yellow arrow is the warehouse door the trailer is in. 

Should be no problem especially if no cars are parking on the left side at that time.

What if you had a set of dedicated forks and shortened them as much as you can but still clear the front of the trailer? It would or could move the lift point closer to the forklift which may help. My $.02 

He wont have the turning radius.  Even with 4 ft forks it wont turn 90 deg. maybe 45 at best. I can pull mine into the back shop yard no problem but if i need to cut it hard its a set down and reposition the lift to do it.

i have a spare fork from my old 5k lift, if i had a tube welded on to the fork like you did on your set up do you think that would that be too much pressure on one fork? 

I'm not to sure about welding to those forks.  They are harden steel and it may fatigue it.  Id find some rectangle steel stock and make it fit over both forks. Then weld the tube on the steel stock.  

Just my opinion.
