Does Front Runner sell/ship to the US as well?


Yup.

 
Beautiful. Jason does great work. I run one of his non-tire carrier bumpers.
Yeah, it turned out pretty good. The swing arm's hinge tube warped a little during welding. I had to sand the bronze bushings down some to get things to go together. The other arm will eventually hold a storage box for camping.
 
What vehicle theft really looks like.

Replaced the clutch master. Bought one for a mid eighties 60 series and swapped the stud and pedal attachment over from mine.

Loaded it up for our annual Turkeyday camping trip. Will pull the trailer with it, will be slow going, but we're not going too far.

I put a 2K (2,,000) ohm resistor in series with the pre-heater timer's coolant temp sensor.
The system now thinks coolant is colder than it really is by maybe 16F (9C).
This all started over a year ago when I broke the factory original electrical connector that goes on the sensor.

new connector with resistor soldered in line.

I put a Deutsch connector on this pigtail so I can swap this rig out if I decide it is not good for some reason.
Usual overkill with sleeves and shrink tube.
I am using the safety wire instead of the finicky metal clip that came on the connector.
Anybody working on it can see exactly how to get the clip off.

Does this mean that tire swapping is now woman's work?:rimshot:
 
Made a spontaneous trip last minute (6pm) up to Big Bear last night. Craziest 24hrs ever! 3.5 hours there 7 hours back. Many, many accidents and cars slid off to the side. Even saw a Buick lose an axle. Aired down the tires to 15psi and didn’t have a problem.

Also, Happy thanksgiving to those who celebrate it!

Amazing!!!
 
I replaced the broken speedo needle in my PZJ70 that was what appears to be a bad repair by a previous owner that failed a few weeks ago, leaving me without a needle to determine my speed. Not like I have to worry about breaking speed limits in it anyways but it still bugged the hell out of me.

Popping off the old broken one was a bit nerve-racking but it did come off and replacement went on easily.
