    King of the Hammers 2023

    The video coverage of these races is unreal, so much better than even a few years ago.

    I have never seen a bigger stinger... along with the winch, add a pulley mechanism and some tension cables tied back to the cage it could damn near be a boom pole. https://classifieds.ksl.com/listing/70771993

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    What's your plan when it comes to adding ballast to the tires? Water? Steel shot? Nothing? Just curious what the final weight of a single tire will be front/rear and why you're targeting what you're targeting? Also, if you consider this proprietary and choose not to answer, I understand haha.

    Gawynz Manche Thread

    Well I don't know how... but I think I actually made it uglier. On the plus side I got rid of all the banged up original pieces and it's straighter. I'm waiting on some sound deadening material to come in before I start reassembling the interior, so I decided to install all the new body parts...

    Gawynz Manche Thread

    Been out of town a lot lately but finally getting some shop time in. I spent my quota of cuss words yesterday but fixed the parking brake. To get the pedal assembly out you have to remove the fuse block and a some other crap which was the most annoying part. The PO smashed this thing, but once...

    Need new air compressor.

    I agree this is on the low side, but to your point is it "good enough" which is the game I'm playing with myself haha. I wasn't considering this compressor as an option until I found a decent deal on one and now I'm considering it. I pulled up the cfm specs for the bender ram and plasma cutter...

    Need new air compressor.

    Bumping this thread, thoughts on this: https://www.californiaairtools.com/ultra-quiet-series-of-air-compressor-contractor-grade/2-0-hp-air-compressors/cat-20020/ My thoughts: I like that it's not massive, it's portable, and not very expensive It'll be in the building with me so quiet is...

    Anyone into 3D printing?

    In my previous job so long as I provided my own filament we could use the machines for personal use off hours, I no longer have that and I miss it and want to buy one ha.

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Swag's kit comes w/ this "elastic return spring". It takes some umph to get on, but it works ok. It still doesn't fully collapse the ram, I have to help it about the last 2 inches. Likely more expensive than a trampoline spring/other though...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    I'm pretty excited, in the past I've been borrowing my dad's Model 3 manual, worked just fine but it was time I got my own and I didn't like bolting it to the floor and not having the flexibility/space for dealing with longer pieces of tubing. I'm excited to be able to use this and then just...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Finally got a ram and finished assembling this dohickey. JD2 Model 32 with a Swag Offroad kit with Northern Tool ram (seeing as how harbor freight discontinued theirs). Picked up a 1.5" and 1.75" die set.

    Gawynz Buggy Thread

    Check out what my sister-in-law made me for Christmas, pretty rad. It's a Walmart rc car that she tore the top off of and remade the chassis. She even cut out the rc car interior and made it fit. I'm impressed how similar it looks.

    Today I Want This....

    I've noticed this in the persons back yard driving to work every day for years, from a distance always looked like a cool truck.

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    That time of year again, the family make a gift. I think I've posted my previous 2 years gifts on this thread. This year I have my uncle, spent a couple hours scrounging around in the shop and here's what I came up with. Parts list: Piston and pin from KTM 250 Random nut and electrical...

    I always thought it was pretty rad when Lagunitas sponsored the Gomez Brothers Racing team.

    Duck Jeep? WTF??

    Riiiiiiiight... looks to me like you guys were getting fuel and a burrito before hitting the "trail". This is a safe space @Greg, you can be honest.

    Ogden Tree Removal?

    Excited about the snow, not so excited about the tree falling on my house... I thought it was healthy, but i guess what do I know ha. Anyone have any recommendations for who to call/pay to chop it up and take it away? Located in North Ogden. I need it gone in the next few days as I'm heading...
