My buddy owns a recycling center in San Francisco. The Holy Grail in the CRV world are the little Yakult probiotic drinks. Those containers are worth close to $6.00 a pound. He has to keep them under lock and key to avoid theft.
Coming along nicely. Did you go with Hot Head Headers ? Looks like you are doing a 2/1 with a side dump ? I don't think I've seen that before. Look forward to seeing more pics as the build progresses.
I am always impressed with guys that have your skills. That was a nice remodel. Any interest to do some flooring like that into my bus ? Tear out the carpet and tile and lay down the laminate.
With my gearing and HP I run in 2nd gear primarily so I'm the opposite of you. I still think at 2-3k rpm you should be downshifting to 2nd gear at the top of the dune.
