three weeks since a blog post... and what a tiring three weeks it has been! Temperatures have been between 110 and 140 degrees inside the shop this month making 8 hours of work take about 12. Krawltex has six race cars in the stable and all of them are racing in the next few weeks. Jeremy's WEROC buggy is competing in Tennessee this weekend. Our 7S Tacoma and 5 Unlimited VW are heading to Texoma for a night race on Labor Day weekend. Our Lemons racer will beheading to Angeleton, TX for a September 11th race. we are shooting to have Tony's Rock buggy ready for a debut at trees on Labor day and a race at canyons on the 18th of September. We also hope to have Ted's YJ linked in the front so he can defend his crown at the same race at canyons. It's going to be a rough few weeks of late nights... the 7S truck needs front fenders and a rear bypass shock rebuild. Ted's YJ needs an entire front end suspension overhaul. The 5 car needs better lighting. The Lemons car lacks an interior cage and seat mounts. tony's buggy is still in pieces... although we have the whole front suspension mocked up. chris and I finished the motor mounts and tranny mount last night.

Over the past few weeks we have finished a lift kit and power brake conversion on Jarrett's early Bronco. A highlander had a 100K maintenance and timing belt/water pump. Several strand vans have come through and one is getting a new tranny this week. Jeremy's buggy received some tube repair. We have lifted a few JK's for Cecil Atkins Jeep. The Tahoe is now regeared with a new 241 t-case and driveshafts are expected any day now. dan's CJ has been revamped with a corrected drive line mounts, skid plate, motor mounts, electric fan, dash, gauges, and a host of other odds and ends. and Tony's buggy evolves every day.
