    2020 Ram 5500 DIY Composite Panel Camper Build Thread

    I've had this problem, take a 4" chunk of PVC pipe, cap off ends, attach a shrader valve and both sensors, set pressure to desired level, zap strap contraption wherever you'd like.

    Torque wrench? Absolutely no need for a torque wrench to change oil. Just bring the required socket size on a t handle and let er rip.

    2019 Honda CRF 450L

    Use Honda synthetic oil. Some disagree but i've always been one to use the best synthetic made by the manufacturer in everything, and interestingly enough it seems I have so many less issues with my stuff. I'm not sure it's related, but it sure feels like it. (300 hours on my last KTM before...

    2019 Honda CRF 450L

    WR is a great bike, you can't go wrong with it. That 450L will be awesome, but 3000 mile OCI's is a terrible idea. There's only 1.2l of oil and engine and tranny share it. It's literally the same setup basically as the KTM that has a 15 hour OCI, I would not stretch past 1500 miles on a 450L...

    2019 Honda CRF 450L

    Yup great bike, just need to get rid of that choked up factory exhaust and off ya go! It still amazes me the 230lb wet weight of the orange bikes lol

    2019 Honda CRF 450L

    Yup, great bike for Africa, Asia, eastern europe where reliability, simplicity, and durability is absolutely paramount. If I lived in Thailand or one of the SEA countries i'd buy a 250L and throw a bit of suspension at it, but the options we have here just make so much more sense.

    2019 Honda CRF 450L

    I bought a 250L expecting so much more than it is, I wanted basically a honda WR, and the bike felt great in the showroom and on the test ride. The weight is a huge problem (110 more pounds... That's 50% more weight than the ktm... Let that sink in...) Sure the suspension can be fixed, but the...

    2019 Honda CRF 450L

    Wr250 is okay... the KTM 250 EXCF is 10x the bike... 237lbs wet, and more power & suspension than a WR. I just hated my 250L so i'm a bit biased. Tried riding tough single track and it was so bad it wasn't even funny, and so bad on the street... Had no power (i'm talking wide open tucked to do...

    If you buy a 250L you will regret it, coming from owning one. Bought one brand new in April of 2018, sold it in July.

    2019 Honda CRF 450L

    390 is kind of a fail in my books. CB500X is honestly a better bike, other than the KTM suspension is a bit better, and it's lighter. The big single is just a vibration machine and a underpowered for a KTM. Throw a rally raid kit on a CB500X you have an awesome mini adventure bike, with a bit...

    2019 Honda CRF 450L

    Don't buy a 250L, the 450L is a VASTLY superior bike. After being a honda guy forever, I bought an orange bike just before they announced the 450L, to replace the 250L which frankly was a terrible bike. Stupidly heavy (334lbs, my current KTM is fully 100lb's lighter...) extremely underpowered...

    Servicing Ford trucks in Africa, Asia?

    Buy a new truck, outfit it to your specs leaving it as close to stock as possible, put about 10,000 miles on it and go have fun. In my experience (fleets etc) if anything major tends to break it's quickly, as it had a defect from the factory. You will see little inconsequential things, fail...

    10k in upgrades on a ram 2500

    First off, should have bought a 3500 towing that much weight for the HO engine and Aisin... But too late for that, so I would spend it on a high end shock setup, and airbags for towing, with daystar cradles.
