Hopefully I will have something cool to bring out that day. Did you guys get my check? It hasn't come out of my account yet.    ---------------------------------------------Originally posted by SoDakminisany idea why the tranny burnt up.??   some neat ideas...i really  like it--------------------------------------------- I'm not entirely convinced it burned up, because he is still driving it around and it seems to be working. But it was incredibly low on oil on his trip down to Bakersfield. And he has changed the oil several times since, we even changed it yesterday at the shop, and have found a good amount of metal shavings in it.

Jerome, being that u bought this truck just for a commuter and had no intentions of cutting it up and making it the badass truck it is now, plus u werent into minitrucks before and now ur the owner of a TM built whoopass mini named Ethel u should be awarded "Rookie Minitrucker of the Year" or something. not to mention all the bad luck and repair work youve done to it yourself and still manage to get it to shows and get it in 2 mags!
