I looked around on line, a lot before I made any decisions. The bull leather is supposed to be thinner, so it's easier to work with, and costs less. I went with a right side hip holster. And the inside is treated/finished so it's smoother, and not a rough finish.

RC - you really ought to have that foot looked at if it's causing you that much trouble.
Not much going on here at the moment - just procrastinating on messing with the demon mower some more. I'm thinking of naming it El Diablo.

Cool post up a pic when you get it please.
FYI 50 MPH, a light weight rig with lots of power and gravel do not mix. With maybe some heavy right foot and a little power sliding added in.
You can see where I left the road just past the hole.
Almost a bad one, way to many big trees. I'll stick to donuts in open fields and my back 40 off roading for now.
I locked in the hubs and it jumped right out, drove back home covered in stinky ditch mud. Really glad I put the seat belts in and had them on.

I do not remember that....did I really? Well I am one for donuts, just not in a real public place like a parking lot. I am sure I was kidding anyway, right?
I was on a very very very back country dirt gravel road that is my personal test track
anyway. Jk I would never take a none licensed/insured vehicle on a public road.......

I'd certainly love to do donuts in the mud or somewhere "non-public", but I'm an asphalt cowboy.
On the steel horse I ride in.
Empty parking lot=donuts.

Ok as long as you are safe about it, get your "brodie" on.
I have a Go Pro camera and some great muddy donuts footage as it is being hand held out the window (by my passenger) as I am getting giggy with it in my back 40 with my ol red F250.
Today would of been a great day to have the camera mounted on the roll bar....

Evening All!
Bandit is kicking my butt! I got the new fuel selector valve in and everything is wired up. There's no fuel leak, but the fuel system is still getting air in it. I did manage to keep it running for about a minute, so it's getting better. I'm hoping it just doesn't have enough fuel in the tank. I wasn't sure which tank was which at first, so I put 2.5 gallons in each tank. I'll tackle the steering column and shifter tomorrow, then I should be about done until I get the computer and harness.

I am sure you know that the injector pump pulling to much air can kill it. At least a Dodge VP44 will die if the lift pump goes out first.
Do you have a priming pump or lift pump also, or that ever its called?

alan i usually put some clear hose in the return out of the inj. pump lets me know the condition of the fuel in the system.. the fuel clarity, color and flow rate can tell ya alot about whats going on..the hose usually lasts a year or more. when it clouds up it is about time to change the filter..
.. may not be a good junk yard day
