Really enjoying these trail riding style videos you have been putting out lately.

I did away with the old florescent fixtures altogether and went with these from Amazon. I just put a couple 4 gang outlets in the ceiling connected to the light switches. So far they have held up well (little over a year). I just zip tied mine to the steel joists, and linked 3-4 of them...

Traffic in Chattanooga was the worst. The venue was a small college campus, that isn't designed to flow a lot of vehicles in and out. The other venues (atlanta speedway, darlington, zMax, etc) are better designed for traffic, but you could still count on at least sitting for 45 minutes in...

Made it back from doing the Power Tour. 2100 miles round trip. Ended up driving the G8, since the Bel Air wasn't 100% ready yet. Was really glad to have A/C on the trip, mainly for sitting in traffic. Only followed the tour route two of the days. The traffic was just to bad to follow it...

This is my first time, so I don't know what to really expect. The 3-5k number is something I had heard in one of the youtube shows about previous years. I very well may have misheard it per day vs. per week. Sorry to hear about the passing of your friend.

They have a pre planned route, that takes you primarily on 2 lane roads, very minimal interstate. You have a 6.5 hour window to 'check in' each city if you're doing the Long Haul. but they encourage you to detour and see some of the sights of small town America. We will be searching for the...

I'm planning on running the Power Tour this year for my first time. Looking for suggestions on places to eat, and sights to see along the way. I was hoping to take my LS swapped 63 Bel Air, but I just finally got it on the running last week, and I want to put a few more miles on it around the...

I'll second the Kenda Klever. Have a set of 285/75-16's on my 2500HD. So far with about 15k miles and rotating them every 5k they seem to be wearing fairly well. The are noisy, but I expected that from a pure mud terrain. Only issue I have is that they don't seem to hold a balance very well...

I recently picked up a cheap ZJ as well. With a couple simple mods it was extremely impressive where the Jeep would go. So far I've only lincoln locked the rear end, old dry rotted mud terrains that I had sitting around, and cut the sway bars off. For $300 so far it is the most comfy way to...

I always used the cheapo 2"x27' ratchet straps from Tractor Supply. I recently started working at Ancra that sells nothing but cargo control products. I picked up some 'samples' of the ratchet strap with integrated axle loop. Only used them one time so far, but wow, I wish I would have spent...

I have one of the cheap electric Ryobi ones from Home Depot, going on 2 years with no problems. It is super convenient, and I find myself using it 10x more than the gas powered unit I had before. I don't need something that will strip the paint off whatever I point it at, so the cheapo works...

I just switched jobs 2 months ago and I can already tell a huge difference in my mental and physical health. I was working at Mazak which is an extremely high stress environment. New job with Ancra Cargo is a smaller (75 people) company that I can really do what I'm good at. I'm a mechanical...

Not really a nick name, but I go by my initials JT. Have a good friend that goes by Pickle, knew him for about 6 years before I found out his real name (when I got his wedding invitation). In High school the group of friends I hung out with all had names that came about in various different...

I just moved to my 3rd job, and I'm 32 right now. Went from a large Japanese machine tool manufacturer to a smaller company as a mechanical engineer. I personally wanted something with less stress, and had that smaller company (family) atmosphere. I also took a $12k/yr increaes on my base...

Bumping this back up top with a price drop. $5000 FIRM Possible trade for an older car or truck. Pre 1972 GM.

If you are coming up 75 to the Arc, then consider stopping at Wildcat offroad. Not far off the Livingston exit. I haven't been yet, but several guys I know have been and said it great for trail riding and has tons of potential. Not sure about the difficulty of the bigger obstacles there...

Re: Re: This is actually wagon #2 I've already built one of a similar design and at nearly full lock the tie rods hit a dead spot and makes it hard to turn it back to center. It isn't going fully over center but close enough that I lose all the leverage built into the arm. With the original...

Sorry for the delay in replying. Actually had to do some work instead of designing the wagon. Couple different design changes shown below. Seems that Ackerman is only good up to a point then the pivot point goes over center. Moved tie rod closer to pivot point Moved tie rod away from...

I'm messing around with building automotive style steering for a radio flyer wagon. Read up on Ackerman angle some and tried to incorporate it into my design. I'm still having issues of the inside knuckle wanting to go over center at full lock. I've messed with the offset distance from the...
