    I'm sure you could. But I need another $5k toy like I need another hole in my head.

    Official Packing for a week on the trail - Overview

    Here's all my gear for a 3 day moto-camping trip. I'm a minimalist. 1 yellow stuff bag is for clothes, tent, Kylmit insulated sleeping pad & pillow (this is key to cutting down pack size) and stove. and 1 is for my small North Face sleeping bag. Food and utensils goes in a third yellow stuff bag...

    FE501s

    So Mike Spurgin just put up Dyno results for the 2020s and the stock uncorked 500s ktm/husky made 33.something whp. That's less than the 2013s by 7hp. That's less than a 350! Uncorked was almost 51. (Aftermarket ECU) They've neutered the poor bikes to pass euro4 sound and emissions regs. 17 HP...

    FE501s

    What a great bike! I've got a 2019 TX300 so I think the look is great! Sicass makes some good flush mount lights that won't melt off with the exhaust like the stock stalk ones. I don't think The FE 501 comes with rim locks so look into that. And balance the tires afterwards. The stock TKC80...

    RME MTB fitness challenge.

    I've been trying to think of a fun way to get in shape, so I created this idea of a mountain bike time test challenge. Today I rode Mueller Park trail: started at the bridge at 9:58:51am rode to the second fire ring at the top of Rudy's Flat 11:27:17am and down to the bridge finishing at...

    CJ front axle... build?

    No other reason but the oem Scout stub the location on the snap ring groove makes it fit the Yukon/ Warn spindle. And it's shortest by about an inch so it makes a narrower package and puts the ujoint in the right place without cutting.

    CJ front axle... build?

    Yup, absolutely! This is how I did my hybrid: LP D30 TJ housing. 4.56 gears. 30spline ARB Yukon 30 spline 4340 inners and outers (it uses a scout length 30 spline stub). Spicer 297 ujoints with full circle clips (I'd run super joints if it wasn't a DD that I wanted to be able to use 4hi on the...

    Mortgage Rates

    I will vouch for this as a multiple small business owner with money in the bank, only mortgage debt and 815+ credit score. I was turned down on a small HELOC (my house is valued at more than double what I owe). They are getting really strict I'm told.

    CJ front axle... build?

    The only thing is ujoint size is only one piece of the puzzle. Every single other component is better. 30 spline inners are stronger than 27 spline. Especially in the aftermarket. 30 spline outers are an OEM option on scouts too. Balljoints and unit bearings were failure points for me with 35s...

    CJ front axle... build?

    The advantages of the LPd44 are driveshaft clearance, tube size, brakes, balljoints, hubs, pinion and ring gear size, housing stiffness and you can fit that bigger pumpkin in the small CJ2a package. Also you get some pinion angle to caster angle advantage because they were in trucks that had a...

    CJ front axle... build?

    Dana 44 knucks won't work on a d30 because the tube size is so much bigger. You'd have to cut the tube off and leave it inside the inner c to get close.

    CJ front axle... build?

    Ford 76/77 f150 d44 tubes are .5" chevs a little less way better than d30s. You could open up all kinds of options with Chev waggy flat top knuckles and ford hubs. Just make sure you use later Chev knuckles or the stud pattern is wrong for the spindle you'll want for ford hubs and caliper...
