Seriously! The tension kept building, with those cutaways to the speedo going higher and the recurring bit of missing a wipeout for not having been looking... And with Mini having just come from surgery I thought it might turn into A Very Special Episode.
This med and snow drifting reminds me of being a teenager in the mid 1970s and telling Mom that I was going to John's house to play Risk. We actually had two games called Risk. One of them was the famous board game. The other was when we'd take John's CJ5 onto the strip mines and in the woods, and we took turns with one of us driving while the other two stood on the tiny box tubing rear bumper covered in slick clay mud and tried to hold on to the taught rag top while the driver tried to sling the riders off. It's a game only a teenager could enjoy... until a stick punctured the oil filter and we were forced to hike out, buy everything for an oil change, and hike back into the woods.
I hadn't thought about snorkeling the airbox. I did clean out the frame rail when I bought the truck which contained a dead bird, a rats nest (I think), pounds of mud and fecal matter, rocks, leaves etc. Snorkel coupled with a timing change and I'd be needing a clutch job for sure.

Good catch on air box,in the 60s when we had real horsepower internal combustion engines needed al the air you could make available then you improved and tuned with fuel from there of course injection systems took some guesswork out I’m old school,big block motors were great! Today gas prices are a concern back then we didn’t care .ha .! ha !that minis a fun little ride.

She's tough!
I was nervous watching this one... those kids had too much fun driving mini.. thank you an till next time, God bless
TY just Matt was allowed to drive her
I love how almost every cut to mini's cockpit there's at least one audible giggle from the driver.
Truth! So much Fun in a small package!

I’d play the minitruck drinking game, but I have to work in the morning. 😄

EFI would be nice... I'm keeping her quiet, I like trail riding. Custom intake is an idea..
i recognize that spot you turned around in. I think I can even still see the dropped bike imprint!
Ooh. You're good, my son's DRZ?

Thanks! Yeah I was born mid 60s, drove a few if the best cars America made! Flipped the air cleaners to hear that quadrajet 4bbl bass
It only gets better every time! Woohoo!!
👍😁
Just picked up a Hijet yesterday! Can’t wait to put a lift on and some tires.
Sweet! What year? Where u get it?
93 I got it from a guy in ct by the Casinos
Nice!
Just can’t get enough of that “MiNi TrUcK”, oh woah oh. Lol.

that looked like so much fun loved it.

Warming up for mud season I see. Organic pin striping, now we're talking. Curious to hear new mpg with the intake fix. Great fun! Thanks👍
😁. I'm curious to see the mileage myself...

Think you missed a tree branch back there.
Lmao!!
Intake mod sounds good 👍
Instead of a coffee can lid we used to flip the air cleaner housing lid upside down and get the same effect.
The way the lid is designed the bolt was too short. I did same on my old 4bbl cars. 😁👍

Put a whale tail on her and she'll lift her nose under hard acceleration (just the weight of it back there). LOL

I don't know but I could be going overboard with this have you ever thought of hockey stick wing in the back Joe dirt style
Haha. IDK about that one.. wait, might look good! JK lol.
No words just havin fun.

Not running hot air would probably have done wonders for your fuel economy too!
I can't wait to see what it is now, I'm due for my next fill up but this tank I did a lot of horsing around.
If you keep driving on your property with all of the limbs scraping Mini Truck, you're going to need to give her a bed liner paint job.
😁 she's tough
Carbon blocking? One of the sites i sent you showed a air filter that went threw both ends.
You have got to get a snorkel intake....just have too....
Laughed my as off though the whole "race"

Those young bucks tried to ride Mini too hard, but they didn't know where to put their petcocks.

What a trusting soul your are to let someone else drive her.... ;)

If I recall correctly you said you were an electrical engineer or electrician at one point. If that is the case I would look into Megasquirt for the ECU. The solder together kit gives you a bunch of features. Just like to be really fiddly to assemble.
If you have a hard time finding a throttle body that would work you can look into converting the carb into one. There are a couple companies that make cable actuated TPS.
A good starting point I found was here: nastyz28.com/threads/gutted-carb-throttle-body.60994/
It would more than likely be worth getting a motorcycle or small car tb and adapting it over than going through the hassle of coverting the carb.
