Since returning home I've full detailed the cruiser and it will be getting ready for freshly bed linered parts and a nice buff and wax. Crazy this paint has now seen about 100k miles. I also gave the underside a thorough cleaning that I've been wanting to do for quite some time. Next small...

After driving to Crested Butte, I discovered one of my headlight bulbs was out. On a day trip to ride at Hartman Rocks in Gunnison, I stopped at an auto parts store and picked up some ATF and a headlight bulb. Later that evening I went to replace the headlight bulb just to find a perfect one...

After finishing class, I dove in to complete a ton of projects last week. I finished the drawers, I did end up having to rush them more than I would have liked in order to get them bed linered before going to Colorado, and the monstaliner I had looked like enough to cover it all, but ended up...

Last weekend was finally the time to swap out the leaky waterpump for a fresh one along with a new thermostat and coolant hoses on the front of he engine. I'm also nearly done with the drawers. The last of the hardware should be in this week, and I have maybe a good days work to get all of...

Yeah that's all I can do. If I didn't find humor in at least some parts of this situation it'd be a lot worse...not that I can laugh with my jaws wired shut. If my jaw is in decent shape there's a chance I could get the wires taken off on Monday. Anyways, onto the cruiser. After the Spring...

I appreciate it you guys. Today is feeling like the day I will be finally seeing some improvement. It's really crazy it's already been a week. I had no idea a broken jaw was as big of a Pita as it is. I would love to make it out to Whistler some day. We were out hitting huge table tops and...

Thanks for the alternative names. Found some at lowes under the Sex Bolt name. Along with sex bolts on the center slides I alternated using #10 wood screws. Unfortunately I forgot to buy more screws to attack the drawers so they will have to wait. I'm almost thinking I should shorten the height...

Thanks! Rhat's exactly what I am looking for! Sometimes just coming up with a name for what I want is the trickiest part. I never would have guessed binding posts but that makes sense. Just looking quickly at the numbers it seems the head diameter might be 1/16" to large compared to what...

Yeah when there's no rush to be somewhere that's the best. I think so many people are just so worried about getting places quickly. I have a friend who can't stand riding along doing 65-75 on the highway in my cruiser. It's not like you really save that much time doing 75+. Granted, when you're...

Yeah definitely I almost designed space for a couple in my drawers, but decided against it. I don't know how deep your sub is, but it may fit nicely after pulling out the grille back there and enlarging the hole and adding some sort of spacer to space it out enough. I know my shallow mount is...

Ah so you must have one made for bigger subs. This one is just the factory mount. It too has been sitting in the garage for awhile. My first sub amp burned the voice coil on my Kicker sub, and I never bothered to put it back in since my door speakers have plenty of bass. Ironically, I haven't...

Haha that's an awesome story. Once I graduate I'm hoping to hit the road for who knows how long and see North America. I guess you could say I've been stung by the idea of an LS swap, but at the end of the day the sting subsides. In a way it would be nice to have more power, but typically when I...

My 1992 doesn't skip a beat on long trips, and I rarely doubt it's reliability. Most trips are usually 1000 miles minimum. Last week I got back from a 2000 mile trip through Colorado and Utah.

Backstory: My 1992 cruiser was pretty smooth on my first set of Kenda Klevers MTs that were installed around 360k miles, but when they warrantied that set last at 374k miles March the ride quality deteriorated. We had a set put on and then headed out for Moab a day later, and it was shaking...

Over Spring Break, we went back out to Colorado and went out to Moab for several days. It wasn't much different from last years SB trip, but we got on some new trails and explored more of the surrounding areas of Moab a little more. We drove out to Albuquerque for the first day, then went up to...

I am getting ready to order my slides and I was pretty set on using accurides, but I just decided to use a lock in, lock out slide and at $250 a pair I started looking to other possible brands. For $80 less I can get the same options on a Fulterer slide. Is fulterer as well regarded as accurides...

I also got out for a couple small biking trips and a trip to the local off road park. Oklahoma also got its first decent snow in several years and of course I had to go find some fresh powder on the backroads with my brother. We also went out to Sundog off road park for an afternoon. There...

Haha thanks for following along! I didn't realize you were on expedition portal I guess a long overdue update is in order with what's going on with the cruiser. After the power steering pump failure on the way back from Arkansas, another one went in only to fail not long afterwards. After that...

I was tubeless for most of the summer on the rear. The front wheel failed awhile ago and I just threw a slime tube in it and it hasn't given me any problems since. I've tried a couple other times to get the rear to seal back up tubeless as that's where I feel an immediate difference, but my rear...

Late last week I drove out to Northwest Arkansas to pursue the 2 wheeled passion and hang out with some friends. I only snapped one pic of the cruiser but it was an epic trip for being as short as it was. It was awesome being able to ride out in NWA as the region has exploded over the past few...
