The star cross shaped valve core tool above the talc is 4 tools in one. Removes valve cores, chases threads and screews on the valve stem like a valve cap so you can pop the valve stem in. The problem with it is you have to open the tire up enough to get the core started in the hole. The...

This what I carry with extra stuff in it. https://www.extremeoutback.com/product/27/The+Ultimate+Puncture+Repair+Kit+Part%23+001-009.html The long tire irons are harbor freight and the short ones are motorcycle. The glue and talc came from Nappa and if you want to carry a tube then just make...

Move over Betsy Ross because here comes Dr. Frankenstein! Here it is under full air pressure. Big shout out to the Tandy leather shop in N.Phoenix. $11 for waxed nylon cord and neddles and a free education on sewing thick materials. They got a kick out of what I was doing and went way...

Thanks! I was about to use dental floss but I'll see what TSC has. I've only got two more weekend trips before it gets hot so hopefully it will hold. I'm getting $pent for this season. Wore out a 3rd gear stack earlier and broke a main shaft last trip. My tranny guy said he has never seen a main...

Sand Tires Unlimited. 13.00 plus that has been comp cut, staggered cut and then cut some more. $400 each plus shipping and then I spend a day groving them. I'm headed over to tractor supply to buy a boot patch but should I sew it first?

I need to sew up an off road tire. A tractor inner tube is used in it so I'm not worried about leaks. Has anybody ever done it. Do I drill holes for the thread?

They are a truck tire for sure. Mine are C rated. I was expecting a wimpy undersized tire considering the others on the market and what they cost. One thing that is nice is that they don't need balance weights. They run true. They flex fine but with Internal air beadlocks the side wall near the...

What's wrong with just using an aluminum hitch? Flip it upside down and put a shackle on it. https://www.etrailer.com/Ball-Mounts/Andersen/AM3503.html?feed=npn&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3sT65YHd2QIVFmp-Ch0S3wkHEAQYBSABEgKWDvD_BwE

Oregon has sand dunes that you can drive on so its a haven for buggy builders and parts. Search "VW bug at Baja 1000" for ideas as well. I love the traditional old school racks. Here is a company that sells them...

Your cable is fine. Next time your out find an easy safe hill and pull your rig up it to stretch the cable. You have to pull and stretch a new cable a few times. To fix your kink even more then lightly tap the strands with a tiny ball-peen hammer and then stretch it again. Don't sweat the kinks...

I've seen your build before. Maybe here or on one of the boat forums. I love nice remote bodies of water the best and is why I bring an extra small outboard. Just in case or if I want to power way up in shallow water. That's where the animals are usually concentrated. This is your vid that I...

I put a fresh pull cord on today. I love broken pull starters on used equipment because that means I'm buying it cheap. Common problem if it's not a broken cord it's the wrap spring. The ends break off. The loop or tab on the ends break. If you try to bend a new loop then the spring...

Arizona is wide open to do mostly whatever you please. Rosevelt has huge dedicated camp grounds and a huge unimproved area where you can park on the waters edge. Unimproved area is on the very SW end. Nice dirt parking and if the lake is up you could paddle around there. The dam and straight...

Drip, drip, drip. The end goal is to remove all lead from fisherman and hunters. There is no amount of lead in biology that is good. It makes humans dumber and kills smaller wildlife. What to do? Ban it? """A bill, AB 2787, was introduced into the California Legislature recently that would...

They were popular in the older 3 hp versions and came in a nifty case. Marketed to Bush pilots. One of the best kept secrets in outboards is how good the old 3 hp 4 hp were. Don't let the old fashion cover fool you on this one. These motors still out run and outlast anything newer. With a...

All outboards are basically the same and a water pump is routine maintnence. The star looking piece is the rubber water impeller. The vanes should be straight and soft. With age they take set and break. It spins in an aluminum or plastic housing and against a metal wear plate that is under my...

Vent should come out of the top of the tank with a hose equal to the size of the fill hose. Run it about a foot up and make a 360 degree loop and then down thru the floor to atmosphere. This way it vents, you wont loose any on hills and when you leave the fill hose on with unknown city pressure...

I got it cleaned up today. The first thing to look at on an outboard or any water cooled painted motor is the cylinder head. If you see any discoloration in the paint then it has overheated. Look around the plugs. This is what you want to see. The lower unit or gear case is full of gear lube...

Rubber and concrete keep curing and keep getting harder for 100 years. I'd seal the tire with somthing. IDK maybe Armor all or a Mop and Glow or Futura floor wax.

Right! How is that Lowe aluminum boat treating you? Lowe has a great history. Search Loweline. I had a canoe by them and the build quality was the best I'd ever seen in a canoe. Too bad it was a short one but at least it was the best material used for any boat. Aluminum. You can buy Osagian...
