glad it turned out ok. Another great story in the history of GRM.
Glad it was just minor. I think we need a build thread on this beast at some point. Or is there one I'm not aware of?
I bought it 2 days ago 2200 miles from home and have been busy driving it through storm after storm on 33x12.5 mud tires, so no. No build thread yet.

I'm sorry, all I can hear is excuse, excuse, excuse...
Didn't you just have the worst 6 hours of your life to kill huddled in fear of your life (Or at least fear of your discomfort)? What were you doing then? :)

Probably using his smartphone for warmth instead of posting here.
Rubbing my feet together inside a spare hoodie so i could keep my toes.
After a night of no real sleep in the truck, my advice is to not push it. Get some proper sleep.
I would suggest that when the sun goes down, get a night of proper sleep and finish tomorrow.
We'll see how i feel. I'm running on far more sleep than i usually have at this stage. Stopped twice in storms. Only 10hrs out now.

Sounds like it's going well. Press on, but don't be afraid to take a two hour nap every now and again. Stay safe.
Awesomeness in this thread.
FWIW, a place where I worked got to buy a customer a new SR20DE when one of the guys felt too lazy to look up an oil filter, and just grabbed something about the right size and threaded it on.
Apparently it was a metric thread on one and a standard thread on the other. It held for a couple weeks and then it didn't.
First time in a year I'm logged off GRM for 24hrs straight, and somebody's in my part of the world needing help.
I'm glad that this has worked out and you remembered how to get a web browser aimed at this forum. I know it has been hard.
What's yer 20 now?
If he's not all buggered again, my math has him close to home.
Less than 2 hours. Truck overcools in temps under 20f at speeds north of 65mph so that stinks. Last 6 hours without much heat. Or much mpgs. 11Mpg before tire size corrections.
