    Any Cautions for Towing 4 Wheels on the Ground?

    Steering wheel unlocked or the jeep will push through turns, and it is hard on tires.

    9 Mile Canyon (semi live) coverage

    At least it is 'easy' to get to. Hopefully this is the worst part of the trip. Damn 6-liters.

    Do it yourself paint booth

    If I get my act together, I could have my C10 ready for paint in 4-8 weeks. I need to think about a place to either do it myself or get it done. I thought about just lining my garage and spraying it at the house, but I don't want to end up with a bunch of red/orange overspray in the spots I know...

    '98 24 valve ext cab longbed tow pig....

    Mine came with a hard tonneau cover. Getting to the front of that 8-footer is hard on the knees, and terrible to slide something heavy toward the front. I want to swap out for a shell (had one on my last truck and loved it), but my wife loves the way the truck looks with the tonneau :amy: I...

    A/C shops

    I'd hit up SWALLDOG for checking pressures and such for troubleshooting the clutch engagement. I took my truck to Extreme Auto Service just off the Parrish/Legacy exit. I replaced my leaking condenser and took it to them for an evac & recharge. Price was about $50 less than what they quoted me...

    I need a pulley (v-belt) setup for my big block 454. Ideas?

    Subscribing for my project as well. Have TBI454 that I'm debating mounting up all my old small block stuff to. Engine had hydroboost, and I want to use my original PS pump on my '70 C10 instead of mess around trying to find the correct pump and then correct/custom hoses. Maybe it wouldn't be...

    More than just a CCW Class

    My upbringing had me in Hunter Safety at a young age, teaching the things like "What is behind your target", safe shooting paths, gun handling and safety, shooting positions, ect. Great course for young and old to acquire general firearm knowledge. 11 years ago, my CWP class was absolute...

    My V-Strom budget adventure bike build

    How are you liking the DL? I'm thinking of completely changing what I have in the garage (VTX1800T, XR400R), and going with a DL650/1000 and a 450-something. Is the 650 enough to slab all day at 80 with a load?

    2015 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel

    I'm digging these trucks. I would like to downsize into one, but it will cost me money. Curious to see what the CEL is for!

    Which Diesel Tow Rig To Get?

    The Dodge 68RFE (6 Speed Auto) started being used in 2007.5 when the 6.7L was first introduced, along with the DPF and the requirement of regen cycles. The 68RFE is a good transmission, but an aftermarket tune for it makes it a much better transmission. The 48RE 4spd used in the '04-07 behind...

    Moab "Off-Road" Friendly Campgrounds?

    I've stayed at the Slickrock Campground the last two years. Truck, trailer, few bikes. We are street legal so we leave right from there. There is some overflow along the NW corner for haulers to park that I remember.

    Colorado Need suggestions for camping in CO

    I would camp around Leadville. There is a bunch of old mining ruins just East out of Leadville (right out of town), and when there isn't snow they are mostly accessible via rental car. Scroll around that area on Google Earth for some pictures. +1 on the Mining Museum and the Burro (even for...

    Honda Grom

    Saw one last week on 33rd or 39th and 7th East. Dude was geared up making a left turn, brought it in hard, made a half spirited turn, and took off. I'd have to ride one of those like a complete jackass just to keep it somewhat interesting. I think it would get boring really quick. A CBR250...

    Anyone following the new Honda Africa Twin? Coming to the US in 2016

    Damn I wish my VTX was actually worth something, so I could sell it and get me one of these!!!

    Let's Talk Lawns

    :thumbs: This is what I use. I do a full yard spray in the spring (and my neighbors who I share a property line with), then again when I get a good crop of unwanteds growing again. It is pricey stuff, but I have had a 2.5g jug for a few years now.

    Need newbie towing advice (trailer, trailer brakes, etc.)

    Make sure you get a 7k and not a 5k. An 18' would be nice for more room for a larger vehicle, or to locate a car/truck/jeep/crap for better tongue weight. I also have a 16' 7k GVW trailer (because I got a screaming deal on it). Sides are removable, diamond plate fenders can be removed with 2...

    The upcoming moto ride/quick report.

    WOT is the main jet. If you back out slightly and it stops, I think the main is the incorrect size. What does the plug look like?

    Road trip: Driving a 300k mile VW to Alaska and back

    Move the cooler to behind the driver's seat. Looks like that would allow the passenger to recline?
