Check your sink trap before tearing cabinets down. The trap in our bathroom starts smelling bad when it needs cleaning.

Those are the tow mirrors I sold to Piratestaz off of my truck lol -
RX-135 Radio on ebay

They declined my offer of $20 for some reason. -
I'm sure in the next few months, especially with winter coming, this years equipment will be hitting the used market. Fat bikes look super cool IMO, but like you said they seem useful for only some stuff. I'm astounded with how easy it is to climb with this bike. My last one was a mid 90's rigid Trek, and even in better shape back in the day I remember it being harder than this bike.

Factory courtesy light question
coheed replied to schardein's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
The stock don't function that way. However, I also have the Blazer lights and mine do this is well. Not sure what about these lights makes the whole circuit come on though. -
The inspection date is 1984 so it could only fit the 86's. From my recollection of the brackets on my 2.8 I'd guess it was for a 2.8.

Well, two weeks ago I ended up going to a LBS right by my work and picking up this Specialized Rockhopper 29. It was a little more than I really wanted to spend, but a few things sold me: Lifetime frame warranty 2 year warranty on everything else Specialized said the frame and all the components would be fine jumping around with my weight on it The shop included 2 free tune-ups, 30-90 days and 1 year If I have any issues the shop is less than 10 minutes from work Have only put maybe 20 miles on it, but this thing rips.

Nate aka Dirt Lifestyle did a really good video about these recently.

Those are some snazzy looking wheels!

Both my 86's have honey interiors. My low optioned 86 has a non-tilt black column. My high optioned 86 has a honey tilt column. I assume both are original but I don't know for sure.

Mini consol cup holder CAD design
coheed replied to The86manche's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I assume it's for column shift trucks. I would be interested in a redesigned full console cup-holder if you end up making one OP. -
Well I called pretty much every local shop in a 25 mile radius and none of them have stock priced under $1500, and I'm not dropping that on something I might not be crazy about. I've been looking at FB and CL and everything that would work for me is either way too pricey even used or it's sold within the hour. So the hunt will continue.

I did something sort of similar a few years ago on my old Honda CB500. I needed to make a u turn and forgot to check the ground I was turning on. I leaned into the turn going left and halfway through my front hit a patch of dirt/sand on the middle lines. The whole bike came out from under me and then bounced and threw me over the right side. A 500lbs bike does not feel good when it slams solely on your thigh. Had a baseball sized hematoma on my leg for about 4 months.

Looking at bikes you are correct about the weight limits. I'm seeing a lot of "300 combined #'s rider, bike and gear" and I'd be awful close with that. We have a hipster part in the closest city that has a few bike shop/beer joint places and one particular shop I'm gonna call this morning that does Marin/Specialized/Ibis/Santa Cruz that a few people have recommended me go to. Luckily I still have 90% of my dirt bike gear, so I can cross over that gear until I have the money for gear that doesn't need to be as heavy. So that'll save me money up front. What was the bad habit?
-
Well, I can not get in contact with the person that has the Felt for sale. So the hunt shall continue. I might just go to a local shop and tell them how much I'm willing to spend and see what they offer me.

I'm telling you there all over the place up here. A couple years back I even posted about seeing one with a hidden winch at the grocery store.

Replacement latch for OEM slider
coheed replied to coheed's topic in MJ Tech: DIY Projects and Write-Ups
It probably could. It has a stupid simple spring to keep it closed, and pivots on a roll pin. You could probably get it modeled and scale it down enough to where you don't have to trim it. But it was only $12 so unless you already had all the tools idk how cost effective it would be. -
I needed a latch for the rear slider I'm going to install in my truck. Decided to take a shot at an available Ford latch F65Z-1527158-AA. It's a little large, and I had to modify it a tad, but it will work for the OE slider window. Here you can see where I filed down the corners. The latch measured 1.5" and the opening it needs to slot into measures 1.25" There was also a small post that kept the latch from swinging all the way down that I cut off so it can engage well with the rail. And here's what it looks like on the window.

Is this vehicle going to be just a commuter for you? Or will you haul people/parts/gear?

You don't have to go out of your way, but if you find yourself in the neighborhood.

Eh, that juice might not be worth the squeeze then.

Where is that camper top? Looks like it's for a LWB. You're not super far from me and I've been looking for a high top shell.

Thanks for the insight. I'm more concerned with leg room than height. From my motorcycle and dirtbike experiences I'd rather have something difficult to straddle than cramming my knees in my chest. But thats different than a pedal bike I'll be taking it up into mountains on the forest service roads mainly and when I get good enough, in shape enough, or brave enough there's a good bit of real technical riding in the parks up there. So maybe a tad on the smaller side might help?
