Not sure if you guys have heard but there’s an amazing event taking place this weekend in lovely Delta Utah. 😘
I was really excited to make it down to this this year, then the In-Laws decided to come to town and have other plans.

I’d give anything for an extra inchOne of my trailers needed new rubbers. I still had the wheels left over from my camper trailer project, so I thought it would be fun to put those on this enclosed trailer. I ordered a set of new tires online, and mounted them up in my garage. I went for a size larger, and a heavier weight rating.
I have always been a little bit shy about getting this trailer into some of the spots we go because it sits so low. The new tires gave me 1 inch more clearance. Not a lot, but I will take it.

After borking this new tire a few weeks ago, I had a few people tell me that GlueTread works quite well. I ordered an off-road sidewall repair kit from them to see if it works well enough to keep this tire around as a spare.

They suggest you bevel the edges of the patches to make them glide smoother over catchy stuff.
Beveled and cleaned.

The glue is some wicked fast and strong super-glue. Don’t pick your nose.

The doctor told me if I lost weight, I could get an inch or two more…I’d give anything for an extra inch
That would be a 25% increase at my house.I’d give anything for an extra inch
2M in the FJ40. It's an ooooollld Icom IC-2100H that I've loaned our for Canguro chase rigs in the past. Over the years all our chase crew members have invested in their own radios so this one was collecting dust. I finally mounted it in the Mongrel so I've got a dedicated ham and external antenna. Sure beats the handheld. Even from the cover of my house garage, I can cleanly hit the 146.620 repeater with great TX/TX sound.

Love having a radio but man do I hate it when I pick up the weirdos who seem to think they're a radio dj
Looks like an rv toilet flush valve?If you know what this is you know what I did today...

What model razor is this? I rode a modded one this weekend and now I’m in the thick of figuring out what I need to build one.Put some street tires on my Razor- 2.5x10 front and 2.75x10 rear. Then I hit 37 mph on it. It felt worlds better than 33 mph on the off-road tires. This thing is a fun distraction from other projects cough buggy cough

That one is a SX500 but the MX500, SX500 and MX650 are all essentially the same bike and a good starting point. You can be crazy and drop like $2k on all the parts from Electro and Co or do it in phases and save cash through DIY. I don’t know that I’ll ever do a “full” build on mine but I could spend a few hundred more on a tuneable controller for sure. My neighbor just did one and it’s killer.What model razor is this?
