Winter projects...
What's everyone got going?
Sommer Thunder is getting totally rebuilt drives...new cryo'ed gearsets, XZ upper gears, and fresh paint and stickers.
Plus...new microwave, new batteries, new battery charger, all new toggle switches on dash (stupid saltwater!), and a Gorilla-glued faceplate on the fridge that will hopefully NOT come off!
Oh yeah...and heading over to TD Custom Paint in the spring for some much-needed retouching...

Hey Mike, you have any experience with Cryoing any tooling? I have had cryo'd disk brakes on my old dually and i thought it made a HUGE difference for me for towing/stopping power when using carbon brake pads......but we have been thinking of doing some tooling here at work (carbide cutters and other stuff for the CNC machines) and just wondering if you had any luck with that?
