How do these sound compared to factory? Now I'm super curious...
are they a lot louder? with a different tone?
It never fails but as soon as I sell my last of something I end up needing it. Got a cruiser with a rusty tank and no good ones to swap in so gotta clean it upView attachment 3240094
Electrolysis. It uses a current (battery charger) anode rod (old lawn mower blade) and a sodium carbonate mixture (water and washing powder) to remove the rust and collect it on the rod. It's not the fastest method but it does work.So I'm assuming this cleans out the rust in the tank but what is this process exactly?
How deep is the solution level inside the tank? The battery charger clamp looks to be pretty low on one of the ports on the side.Electrolysis.

Took 2 old blades and keep swapping them out after I grind all the rust back down. Just leave them in there for a few hours and come back to them covered in rust.
Wheel speed and low psi are your friend in the sand3rd and final trip in Rally school.
Right at the start of the trip, I (so elgently) demonstrating my amazing off roading skills, superior terrain understanding and my prowess as a sand duner......

This folks is what happens when you hit sand at 35 psi and under estimating the 80's torque
Maybe slow but definitely the best method. Good old chemistry!!!!Electrolysis. It uses a current (battery charger) anode rod (old lawn mower blade) and a sodium carbonate mixture (water and washing powder) to remove the rust and collect it on the rod. It's not the fastest method but it does work.

Kind of stealth. I broke this brand new piece almost immediately after installing it. LOLStupid vent trim thingie behind the stupid rear sliding window got all broken. Stupid Mesquites…
So I drilled some little holes and punched in these little nylon body trim plugs.

Yah it was actually a recovery training, they wanted us bogged so we can practice.Wheel speed and low psi are your friend in the sand
That was one side. It sucked. I’m going snowboarding tomorrow.
