I have a HF 5500 with wireless remote control. The remote is really handy for doing this by yourself. My car is about 3300 lbs. and I use a snatch block to make it easier on the winch, and going slower makes it easier to stay within the fender wells because I have very little clearance. If I...

Wild West Shootout in Vado, NM. Third year in a row staying for the whole thing. If you like dirt late model racing this belongs on your bucket list... https://www.wildwestshootout.net/

All great songs! This is not one, but it is a light..

I made a removeable aluminum cover for it, so no cat issues. It is located in Area 51.

Sorry, I should have clarified that this is the "Federal" version, so it doesn't have to meet earthquake requirements.

It's not true. They can protect kids from harmful UV rays in the sandbox.

I thought that maybe you were here in Austin... ( zoom in)

Watching the F1 sprint race in Austin

One way to do it that I learned in high school diesel mechanics class is wrap a cord of some kind around the "hub" of whatever it is you want to measure and then pull it with a spring scale while watching it. Divide the measured force by the radius of the hub and you can get a pretty good...

What did you say? Sorry, I can't hear you;). But seriously, no, I have a Vulcan 1600 with Vance and Hines pipes and it is also LOUD! I wouldn't claim that the helmet does much in that regard. I used to be a crotch rocket guy but now in old age have gone to a cruiser. I tell everyone that it...

I was riding my street bike yesterday (I don't do this often enough) and the sun was really in my eyes when I finally remembered that my helmet has the internal flipdown sunglasses. They work great, even with my prescription glasses. I don't know why I never thought of it before, but does anyone...

I agree, doesn't seem to change preload but only ride height. But, it appears to severely limit bump travel when backed off. This can't be a good thing...

Rear trailing arms from a 2007 Desert Dynamics Class 1. Set up for ProAm midboard hubs with six piston calipers. No cracks or damage. I am selling them because they are too long for my car and had to get shorter ones made to get the CV angles correct. Located near Tucson but might be able to get...

Does anyone have a source for halfway decent metric grease fittings? I bought a giant set of them from Amazon and to say that they are made of Silly Putty would be an insult to Silly Putty (I snapped off two of them just pulling the grease gun coupler off). Specifically I am looking for 6mm-1.0...
