x2 on the whiffle ball bat. :sombrero: And yea -- the rig is kinda cool too. Sometimes I miss my '72 Jimmy (even though it was that horrible chicken-******* yellow that GM seemed to love so much . . . )

^^ That would be one big - azzed stocking!!!! :Wow1:

:xxrotflma My favorite is simple course ground sea-salt. Give it a liberal dose (both sides) and let it sit for 15 - 20 minutes. Throw it on a hot grill (let it hit the grill pretty hard -- so it knocks the majority of the salt off). When you roll the pork over, let it hit the grill pretty...

In my opinion, too much time is spent trying to figure out what you (not directed at any individual) need in order to go, and too little time is spent actually going. People were traveling around the world before lockers and winches existed. Your preparedness, or lack there of, will certainly...

I have a few parts left over from my TJ, but since I sold the Jeep, I no longer need these. You will notice a distinct lack of pictures -- because I don't have any here at work. Maybe I'll remember to take some when I get home. Right rear soft top window (sail cloth), tinted plastic. It's in...

Mainstream media coverage. Nice job with the truck Jay!

Did you make it? Is that just a classic Baja backroad, or what?

How difficult is it to gain access to the carb (where the cables connect to it)? I'd pull them off, and turn the butterfly by hand if possible. It should turn pretty easy, and snap shut when you let go. With the cables disconnected from the carb, the throttle tube (grip) should turn easily...

My guess is that you have one of three problems (in this order): Sticking throttle tube Sticking carb (throttle plate) pinched cable I would start by pulling the cables off of either the throttle tube or the carb (which ever is easier), and eliminate 50% of the possible trouble spots. One...

I would be concerned about it getting wet in the back of a truck, but that is based entirely on my gut feeling after taking a long hard look at it. Paul @ Equipt might be able to offer a more qualified opinion about that than I can. I ended up putting a camper shell on my truck (instead of an...

The DRZ is a fun bike. Probably not my choice for my only 'adventure' bike -- unless my adventures come without long stretches of freeway (which is why I sold my 650GS and bought an 800GS -- longer legs when it's loaded down on the freeway). As I've said before, any bike that is between your...

If you have time, go here: 26* 53' 28"N 112* 26' 6" W You won't be disappointed.

**sold** Next up is a Perception Aquaterra sea kayak. It's in pretty good shape, everything works, and includes the spray skirt and a paddle (no PFD or cockpit cover). Two dry storage compartments w/neoprene covers + hard plastic covers. It's either 17' or 17.5' -- it's my girlfriends, and...

Pretty much any bike can be lowered -- but honestly, the height thing is outgrown pretty quick. I'm anything but tall (5'6" w/30" inseam). My first bike was a 2007 F650GS w/34.5" seat height (measured). It took about a week before I completely forgot about not getting my feet flat on the...

Yakima Outdoorsman 300 Compact rack system (new in box), (2) 58" crossbars, (2) Q towers w/ locks, and (2) Q clips. Originally purchased for hauling kayaks on a 2004 Toyota Tacoma. Retails for ~$500, asking $200. Located in Tucson. Buyer pays shipping. Sold as set only.

Given that info, I'd be looking at the bigger single cylinders (650cc +/-). Putting a 200 pound rider + camping gear on a 250cc dual sport isn't going to be much fun anywhere but the lonely back roads. Put that combination on a freeway or even a well used state highway and you'll be wondering...

My pit bull goes everywhere with us. Around camp, she isn't on a leash or in a crate -- she roams free. At night, she used to sleep in the tent with me, until she got booted in favor of my current girlfriend (Marisa doesn't stink like the dog does :sombrero:). Now, she sleeps on a blanket on...

Nice job Darin! I'm glad to hear you are progressing with your goals and haven't suffered from any serious complications. I think you'll find that once you get off of the stationary bike and out on the road / trail, you will have to work harder at it (you don't get to program in the...

My experience with GM IFS (~75K miles worth) is that, from the factory, they typically have a smooth, if slightly mushy ride. Spring rate seemed fine, but compression damping was a bit soft. For fire roads the suspensions worked fine -- even venturing into the 'good' category. Much nicer than...

I wish I had the cash -- would you consider a strait across trade for a 2000 Husaberg FE600E (blue book is $2,400), with Race Tech suspension, 41mm Keihin carb, some minor top end work, lots of titanium bits, etc.? Plated in AZ and oh so fast . . . Yea, I figured you wouldn't -- but a guy...
