It runs! No oil or coolant so it ran for 1.1 seconds but it runs. Omg I feel so much better now.

Filled radiator , changed oil and filled the trans. Let it back down and took a very short drive. It’s loud, it’s got spunk and it is the right amount of sketchy on the gravel road.

Just keep an eye looking ahead, the locals aren’t used to tourists

Proof it drives. Got a wash, fresh gas and now food for us.

And like an idiot I ran it through the car wash with the temp tag. No more temp tag. .

Now to make it worse the wife just washed the temp registration and it’s a wadded ball mush. Friggin awesome. Got it all together and still can’t drive it.

To make myself feel better i ordered the wheels for next year. A set of traklites in 17x8. This weekend I’ll get one of the 255’s mounted and test fit. Worst case I have to step down to 235 or 245.

Budget just went up $88. Ordered a magnaflow 24" 4" round muffler to use as a resonator in the center pipe. Hopefully that will help tame it down a little.

Suspension arrived 2 days early. $4 radio connector arrived in less than 24 hours. Looks like I'm installing things tonight to help the "D".

No.... I'm a Colts fan. But the issue with the GK/XD chassis with the rear sway bar tabs snapping off.... well that's not a problem anymore. 2 words: Beef. Y.

Thursday night I'm planning on running up to my friends house to unmount and remount the 2 255's onto the new wheels. I'm planning on swapping in the front coilovers Friday and test fitting them to see how close we are to fitting.

Fronts are a great fit. Rears will be tight. I’ll have to get the coilovers in and refit. I might need a 10mm spacer to clear in the rear.

Don't most states have the online thing where you can print a new one off?

In reply to wvumtnbkr :

Nor for new registration. We get temp plates and rego for 1-2 weeks until the metal plate and real reg comes in the mail.
