I did some light load testing and the battery did not self recover from at first 12.3 volts and then 12.16 volts but it still cranked slow and started the V10. I’ll guess it was still 1/2 good. That was enough for best case scenario but not really enough for a remote locations if lights on or...

My Sears Platinum in my E350 is 13 years and 14days old today and fired right up. I’m sure the solar panel and Morning Star controller help with long life but dang is this thing going to leave me stranded or do they last forever?

I put a few miles on Contraption knowing it needed a longer seatpost and a mens seat. Some men actually prefer the “cut” or size of seats designed for women so I gave it a college try. Not for me.... As luck would have it the LBS and seller of Moulton is https://portapedalbike.com/ Great shop...

I bought this used and in the dark so go easy. ?

1V6pony, You could unbolt shocks to see if they are limiting droop. That would cause that problem. Hitting the bumpstop on the other side or bottoming out the shock too early can also add to the problem. Shock length never needs to limit droop or compression. Period. It needs to be checked...

No. The van sat at the right height it just hit the stops to early.

This kayak comes apart and the parts nest together really small. Nesting sailboats and dingys have been around for a hundred years but this is different. https://pakayak.com/

The Triton 4.6L, 5.4L and mighty V10 are basically all the same except for the obvious number of cylinders and bore. Mine has 130,000 miles on it with nothing but fluid changes, a serpentine belt and a fuel filter but is hinting of trouble. I searched out a few Ambo’s and International 4300 but...

Brompton came out with a limited edition expedition bike. It has a few goodies like a spare parts kit with spokes and a pack for gear. The pack on the front mounts to the front of the frame so it does not move with the steering. They claim thats the best place to add weight on the bike. It’s...

I got to ride NuVinci 3 wheeled recumbent yesterday. It was amazing. It worked so well and easy that I could not take my hand off the control lever. As you twist the grip it puts the peddle effort or gearing wherever you want it. It really blew me away how easy it “shifted” and how fun and...

I use a blue 20L water jug as a grey tank. It’s good for stealth dumping. I use a flexible drain hose from the sink right into the tank. The sink gets used a lot. Mostly for washing hands since I use leaded race gas but I do use it a lot. The sink is plumbed to a 20 gallon tank. A laundry sink...

I put my 02 E350 together about 12 years ago with mods all along the way. It’s neat seeing you go thru the stuff I did but at least you have all the experience of others. Like you, I started as a dirt biker and even had a Montesa 315R trials bike so that pic made me smile. You have a great start...

They are in great shape but there may be a few missing. Trade for nice knife or whatever.

The whole burner grill assemble lifts right out but does not come apart. I uses a welding torch tip cleaning tool (small wire) and cleaned out all the burner holes. It burns evenly thru all the holes now but has a yellow flame. The pics make it look more dramatic but its either getting too...

I set a disposable plastic bowl of Yummy Chicken noodle soup on a burner that was not cooled down enough. Big melted mess. I poped it apart and it cleaned right up but this trip it’s not burning. The burner looks clean ?? Can I field fix it or wait to soak it at home?

The plate in the middle is so I can turn the boat upside down on the trailer and it will not fall thru and jam between the bunks. I fooled with bunk mods and wood blocks for an hour but having that flat suport in the middle worked the best. From experiance I learned that if your trailer is...

Construction safty fence. They make snow fencing the same way. You may need to staple the bottom to locally sourced logs or bring 2x4’s. Wrap it around your whole truck...
