We carry a similar manual chain saw and have used it to clear pine trunks fallen across various tracks over the last 5 years. In some conditions it is my favorite cutting tool. While we have used it with a person on each end, I find it most effective when I initially pass the chain under the...

Actually there may be at least three options for 14,000 - 16,000 GVW cab over (or cab forward) trucks of similar size to the Fuso in the US: Isuzu - gas link diesel link GM - Link (scroll down to 4500 variants) and Hino - Link look for the 155 variants I'll admit that the GM might not be...

Oh no! No metric "Centuries". That would make me 107 metric years old.... I'm taking my rides every other day in a debatable attempt to get more recovery. I'd like to get 800 miles in this month so rides ought to be 50 miles, but I miss one and that makes catching up harder. When I used to...

So - two years and three months late: 1. No. I switched from a heavy aluminum bike (old Cannondale Scalpel) to a couple of light-weight carbon bikes (Salsa Mukluk but plus tires in place of fats, and a Salsa Cutthroat) and loved the difference! 2. Yes, I spend time and money to get the...

Darn - I go out on a 60 mile ride and miss all the fun!

I think we ought to keep things simple: 1. Maintain "Expedition Bicycles". 2. Add the new "Expedition Ebikes/Mopeds" Howard

Those "funny bike" time trial machines were so fast because you were alway riding downhill! Howard

Hello MTVR: I like your proposal and enthusiastically second it! Howard

Along with that great looking truck, I like the shovel. When ours sits like that it means the capacity of our composting toilet is being extended........ Howard

Some thoughts: 1. If what you’re doing works for you keep at it! 2. Presta valves. Agree they can be finicky. I try to use versions that have removable cores - one of my favorites is produced by Cafelatex. They also come with a bright red metal valve cap which I find easy to locate when I...

Hello Chasespeed: I’m with you and MTVR - happy with tubeless/sealant combination. A question - you mention carrying a tube as a backup - has using a tube worked? I ask because after a couple of weeks of goat heads and other thorns in my tubless tires (all sealed up fine), the inside of those...

Hello Bill: I've not found a gpx editor for iOS. The only one I found referenced, GPX Track Editor by Garfa.com, is no longer available (confirmed by email to their customer support). So I don't think there are many iOS gpx editors out there. But I'm not sure there is a big market for that...

Hello Kylekai: Thanks for the suggestion, GPX Editor is fine on a Mac - thanks for developing something so useful. However, I'm interested in an editor for gpx files that will work on an iPad or iPhone. I'm trying to avoid taking a computer on some types of trips where space and weight are...

Hello Poohbear: Beautiful truck & planned house. I noticed you mentioned a cassette toilet. We had a cassette toilet in our first EarthCruiser and while it worked fine, we decided to try a composting toilet in our 2nd EarthCruiser. For us, the difference is night & day - we love the...

Deasocld: Your brother did a nice job. Depending on his eventual potential buyer, the ease-of-sale might be increased if your brother took the time to get all of the recall & update work done on the Fuso. While still under warranty the work won’t cost him except for time, but if the VIN is...

Well. Heidi and I were sure we could resist ungrading a third time when we heard about a V8, dual speed transfercase, all wheel disc brakes, 37" tires, etc., etc. But nobody told us you were doing a Coffee Bar! Now we're in trouble! Kidding aside, looks great you guys.

I'm with Gregmchug. No sparkplugs and no approach angle on the Chevy! Howard

Hello Cameron: I use an LSD fluid from Mitsubishi also and favor it over others combined with LSD additives that I've tried. The Mitsubishi fluid I use is "Mitsubishi DiaQueen GL5 LSD Gear Oil" which I get from Modern Automotive Performance, Is that the same as you use? I can't find the Fuso...

Reminds me of a USPS slogan - "If it fits, it ships!" Now if they only had a flat rate shipping container......
