After 18-months, the Thing is mobile for the first time and I went for a test drive.
The Good:
* Freebee transmission shifts perfect
* Engine is super torquey, ran great, no oil leaks.
*The car was begging to be taken in the desert.
The Bad:
* Brakes lines are still full of air, need to re-bleed the lines.
* Rear torsion bars not indexed the same, need to level the car.
* Wheel alignment is way off.
The Ugly
* I got anxious to drive the car and forgot to tighten lug nuts on one wheel. Lost all 5 lug nuts 1-block from the driveway. Luckily wheel didn't depart on it's own and all is OK.
