No!! Although I like yogurt that is on the sweeter side. Noosa is so darned good. Pricey, but good. And the containers make excellent parts holders. Read more

It’s a pretty basic setup. GoPro Hero4, Zhiyun Smooth Q gimbal, and a monthly subscription to Adobe Premier Pro. Good luck on your project! Read more

It’s always tricky to keep dirt and debris from getting inside. I usually start by thoroughly cleaning/degreasing valve cover and the cylinder head before removing the valve cover. Engine degreaser, wiping down with rags, then following it with brake cleaner will go a long way here. Read more

Thanks. That’s a good question, and you nailed it. I figured it was about time I began trying to preserve the brain cells I have left. :) Read more

Yep! Wedding planning has slowed me down some, but more stories will be coming. Read more

The Z! Because it’s the “affordable” option.

Removing the cables shouldn’t be too bad. You will need to introduce slack into the cables by loosening up the adjustment mechanism. Look around for a threaded rod (which the cable passes through) that has two lock nuts on either end. You should be able to slip the cables off the pulleys once they have slack. Read more

It sounds like you have good taste in vehicles! Definitely pursue the 4runner idea, they are a blast with the removable roof! Read more

I’ll do my best to try and make it! Read more

Totally agree on the gearing. As for how this remained so rust free? I don’t have slightest clue. There is no evidence of undercoating or anything. I guess that’s what happens when your roads never see salt! Read more

Heck yeah! What an awesome truck!! I don’t think I’ve ever seen that body style in person. They simply no longer exist (as you know) in this part of the country. Read more

Good question! I do collect them all in the same container. My local Advance Auto Parts recycles these oils free of charge. They all go into the same receptacle there, so mixing doesn’t matter. However, antifreeze (coolant) should remain separated! Read more

Thanks! I’m Radwooding myself out of garage space... Read more

It looks sooo Dukes of Hazard. I love it! Read more

Just do it the practical enthusiast way!

Oh, lubing a motorcycle chain is a hotly debated topic. Tons of opinions of where best to apply lube, which kind of lube to use, how frequent to do it, and so on. There are lubes that are referred to as “wax” but they tend to result in a lot of “sling” which ends up all of the tail section of the bike. Read more

This particular bike has the rear caliper mounted to a bracket, and that bracket slides into a channel in the swingarm. The caliper can be rested in that channel while the wheel is out. For other bikes, I just bungee cord the caliper to some fixture on the bike to support it. Read more

Chain wear on motorcycles can be identified in a number of ways. Put the rear wheel up on a stand and letting the wheel spin is a good way to see the chain articulate. In my case, there was a sporadic tightening and loosening of the chain that could be seen on the section that runs below the swingarm. Read more

Thank you! Unfortunately I don’t have a video of the tight spot. Sometimes I get so caught up in the “get it fixed NOW!!” mentality that I forget that many readers would like to see the “before” symptoms. I’ll try to document the “before” a little better from here on out. Read more

Thanks man! Great tip! Read more
