Just been busy, pooping Deere sleds and Eatin' Cat sleds. I have been jumping all over tarnation trying to locate parts for the Cat and I have finally come to see the light at the end of the tunnel about 5 minutes ago. The Liquifire is coming home this Saturday also. Past 2 weekends were trip weekends and this weekend will be some tearing down.. Let the games begin!!

I can't believe you would think my L-fire is going to break down...shame shame shame.. :naughty: :naughty: I guess we will see, WONT WE... :boohoo: I dont think that 340S will even be able to break trail, nonetheless keep up with the old Liquifire.. :lol: Game on. :lol22:
