    94 "intimidator" build

    It sucks, but i will keep my eyes peeled for another. I prefer the 97+ myself, only purchased this because of the history on it. Moving forward i think im going to focus on getting my gmt800 back up to par, and finish builing my 99 cummins that i acquired from my father.

    Well shes gone. Wife and boy shed a few tears. But they can hold onto their goox memories and not end up with a bad when when the frame snaps and we wreck and end up injured or dead. As much as it hurt to let it go, my family and myselfs safety along with everyone i pass on the road is more...

    94 "intimidator" build

    Im fighting a new issue now tho. I pulled the air cleaner off to check the filter, like an idiot i moved the throttle linkage by hand, almost felt like something popped off but i couldnt find anything. Put filter and lid back on it and took it for a drive. Throttle pedal moves alot easier(before...
