Nice looking truck. Sounds (to me, I could be way wrong) that the truck is hitting 2nd gear way quick. So quick that it make it seems like it's stuck in second. Or the slipper is loose. One of my trucks too me a while to get the 2nd right for some reason. I had to crank down on the clutch adjustment way farther than my other 2.

Looks like you have a lot of room to run the truck.

Jon.

Thanks everyone. I will get some better vid footage as soon as this weather breaks. More wintery mix here now....

Thankfully my neighbors have only complained about the sound once. And that was when a buddy was over here running his Baja 5B SS. That thing is craaaaaazy loud....lol.
