First drive .... kinda

I drove my truck back from garage today, had it in for road inspection to get it registered; it passed! I just have to get new tires and adjust hood latch, it still releases when I drive.

Still have to sort out my suspension issues since ride height is too low in the front for my liking; but plan on puttin a couple of KMs on it before freeze up (I'll make sure hood latch is secure).

Sure is nice to have it moving; lots of tweaking to do yet.

Not only pictures, but video! Congrats on your first drive! I hope to have mine in the next couple of months. We really don't have winter here so that won't really slow me, just too much work right now - and I am not complaining! But I would like to get it going soon...
