Putting a fresh radiator in the truck. The current one was damaged at NorCal and will still be a good spare.

👍Sixth times the charm
Packed up and headed to the 2024 Vegas to Reno Race! We will be chasing the 4866 car and possibly hopping in as a relief driver. The team also has two 37" spare tires and two 11 gallon fuel cans for us load up in Vegas.

Nice setup! What size Jackery is that?
Explorer 290, it will run a pit radio all day.

Cool deal. We somewhat accidentally bought a Jackery 1000, 2000, second battery unit, and a solar setup at an auction. So first foray into those type devices.
Vegas to Reno was awesome! Me and the crew setup pits and refueled up until pit 6. At pit 6 I jumped in the car and co-drove to the finish line. We finished in 12:37 and took 3rd in the Ultra4 4800 Legends class. It was a wild ride and I am looking forward to going next year.

Nicely done! Was it the plan for you to co-dawg or was that a last minute change?
Thanks. Yes, it was planned for me to be the backup driver or co-driver. A driver chance happened at pit 5, I was setting up pit 6 when I got the call that I would be doing the co-driver change when the car got to pit 6.

That’s awesome!
Back to 22REs and leafsprings.
I got the new radiator installed, bleed the air out of the cooling system and reinstalled headlights.

Looking good! When is the next race?
I got the coupler for the W56B transmission to accept a 23 spline t-case input shaft. Now the primary t-case and the spare can both get front 23 spline, 2.28 input shafts. A larger transmission rear output seal is also required.

Very cool. That place looks fun.The next race for the truck will be nationals in October.
Cross Bar Ranch was super cool to race at in 2021. I am looking forward to hitting some sweet water holes again!

Sweet picture!Cross Bar Ranch was super cool to race at in 2021. I am looking forward to hitting some sweet water holes again!
First memory I have of Crossbar was the aftermath of the major storm that hit the park on race weekend. Mud covered race cars and deep water crossings in motorhomes.

So you're running a factory 21 spline output tranny and got a coupler to go to 23 spline?

Or do. I need every advantage I can get my hands on
No promises lol. I got water on the ECU and killed the truck last time I was in Oklahoma.
That’s my false sense of “I totally got this” water hole right there. I qualified #1 when Loren drowned his right there. I jumped out and popped my hood and my engine bay was dry after doing that. But I got too comfortable doing that, and that’s where I was picking up time on Loren. I had flats but I was back to within two minutes of him when I super Sub’d it and gave the podium up to Mick Hensen and Jon SchaeferNo promises lol.

I will definitely be checking water depths during pre-running lol.
The transmission rear output shaft is 21 spline and matches the OEM 21 spline t-case input. They are typically coupled together with a 21 spline coupler. Advanced Adapters made a coupler that is half 21 spline for the transmission output and half 23 spline for the t-case input. This will hopefully solve my broken front t-case input problems.
