If only I had a little shop to build stuff in...

I don't think my wife can reach the pedals on mine. Maybe if you expand it to include kids you'd get more participation.

^^ strap some 2x4 blocks to extend the pedals.

Why does stuff like this always happen when my junk's in bits and pieces awaiting modification? Oh, wait- it's because my junk's ALWAYS in pieces being worked on... I couldn't do the mower romp because I have the engine out of the UTLTV and a 15.5 hp going in this weekend.

Just consider the challenge as having come from the pointy hair boss from Dilbert where he's telling him to "work smarter, not harder", or when he's telling the team their company was the low bidder for the missile to save the Earth, and he's putting Wally in charge of fissile material, which he "assumes is a form of soda"!!!

(Sorry, Chris, I couldn't help myself.....) Pat

lol. I have a few people gearing up for it. Basically its to help some of these smaller channels out here to grow. I get so many people asking me to give them a shout out to help them grow. doing this helps them to learn to grow themselves.

You just couldn't leave well enough alone, could you... :toetap05:

I'm in tha same boat as everyone else; mine isn't drivable yet & the little princess' kart isn't going right now either...

Can you? Can any of us? Let's be honest... Most times, these projects are never truly "done". You can reach a certain point and call it "done", but it isn't. It's just between mods...

Actually, I got forced into the engine swap, I will detail that in my UTLTV thread when I update it.

Fair point...

So when are you going to do a kids rig challenge? I have a go-kart themed BBQ party coming up in a couple weeks.

I'm gonna try and make a video. There will hopefully be 8 kids hammering my karts. Will be a heck of a torture test for my rigs. Last time a 5 and 6 year old hammered the "Cute Ute" (As named by Toystory) for about 2 hours straight, and the only thing that happened is a nut that I forgot to locktite came loose.
