    SOLD Small Evinrude Outboards. SOLD

    Arguably the single best outboard ever produced were the 6hp Johnson and Evinrudes from the late 60's to late 80's. They are bulletproof, always start, are twin cylinder smooth and even beat to death models still run great. This one is really clean except for the typical sun fading and scratches...

    Folding Outboard

    I found a rare 4hp Evinrude that folds in half. Here it is sitting next to my regular version in the 3 hp flavor. Two release levers, a hinge and a split drive shaft with coupling let it fold. I just finished the refirb of the 3hp in December with the plan to keep it forever but now I...

    Retractable extension cord

    I removed the side panels from the cargo area on my XJ. You would not believe how much stuff that you can cram in those caverns. The left side is a little tighter due to the gas fill neck but there is a climbing rope, a quart of oil, rags and who knows what else in this side. As big as it...

    Integrated Spare Fuel Tank

    When I lived in Arkansas somebody called me a metrosexual because I had all my teeth, owned a decent house, had a real job and did not drive a beat up pickup truck. I assume PDX hipster refers to the Portland dweebs but what is "expo AF"?

    Tire Recommendations for wide temperature ranges

    I'll second the Michelin LTX. I run them on the 4x4 van. If they say M/S 2 on them then they had separation problems and you can get them replaced for free or under Road Hazard warrenty. Discount tire replace all 4 of mine and they were 4 years old. The fixed the issue and are a great tire. For...

    Maxxis Razr MT

    So far so good with mine. I aired down to 10 psi today and drove home on the asphalt without airing back up. The were are not silent but not very loud either.

    Bilstein 7100 valving?

    Perfect example of why tuners don't give info. People don't listen even if you explain it. The OP says he is too soft for rock crawling yet asks if higher valving will cure it. Rock crawling and trails need lighter valving and fast action. In 10 minutes he can pull the shocks and see if he blows...

    Bilstein 7100 valving?

    Not many like the way a leaf sprung 4x4 van drives. The steering box is mounted marginal for a stock 2wd van but when you put all the stress from the lift and big tires on it it flexes all over the place. Add a leaf mount on the frame horn in front of the box to twist it even more plus...

    Brompton Folding Bicycles

    The guy I bought it from knew the owner of the stolen bike. He threw a Brompton bag for checking it in on flights. He threw in a hole box of extra Brompton stuff and tire so that was nice. I'm really liking this bike. It's never in the way. My mt bike gets moved in the shop constantly. It falls...

    Build & Trips on a '12 Trek Mamba 29er

    I could not get my Fox Float forks to do anything right. I rode other bikes and found they all had the same problem. Way too plush. I bumped the nitrogen way up for the fix per advise of a downhill race guy. Did the same to the rear shock. Per factory specs I need to gain 150 pounds to be using...

    Bilstein 7100 valving?

    If that valving works well on a JK then the van probably needs more. I have a similar van. 02 E350 V10 Dana 60 front on leafs. Make sure the frame rails on the front are really beefed together well. A bumper alone is not stiff enough on the front. Weld a bar across it near or on the spring...

    How do you keep your winch secure?

    Theifs often find that stealing the bumper and winch is easier and more profitable than unbolting a winch. You need to protect both. Welding a cover such as a 2" piece of metal sign posts over the bolts is better than welding on the bolts. Welding a harden steel bolt weakens it. Not much but a...

    Bilstein 7100 valving?

    The valving they recommended and you bought was for a stock weight truck to give a stock like ride. Can you imagine how many dorks would complain if the "ride" changed? It's not worth the hassle to them. Here is the deal and I don't give a rats ******** what any suspension company, spring salesmen...

    What's your thoughts on bike and component weight?

    Has anybody switched to a heavy steel bike and not minded the difference? Do you spend the time and money it costs to go lighter on components on a recreation bike?

    ARB Products 20000 lbs Snatch Block

    Synthetic with snatch blocks suck. Synthetic melts at a low temp. Pull it around a tight pully and the dirt imbedded in it causes friction and heat that will melt it like butter. Let the winch bog out before you double line pull and if you use it then tension the line very slowly giving time to...

    Synthetic: Hook or Thimble?

    You want the big yellow hook. Not contraptions with pins that roll down the hill while your tittering on a hill at night in the rain. You may have a death grip on the break pedal and need to rely on an inexperianced bystander. The other reason you want a big yellow hook is so you can snap it...
