    I finally did it...4x4 van!!!

    Picked up a vehicle I have spent the last 10 or 12 years obsessing over. I’ve always told myself if the right one comes up I would jump on it. It’s an 03 Full size Dodge van 2500 with a Salem Kroger 4x4 conversion and a somewhat luxury interior package. It’s like a unicorn from Narnia. 87k...

    My old 85

    The current owner of my old 85 is looking to sell. He contacted me and informed me that he was recently diagnosed with cancer and was trying to raise money. I told him I would spread the word on the forum as he is not on here.( I will try to get him to join). I also told him to get it on...

    Crappy neighbors

    About 2 months ago my mother in laws neighbors cut down and poisoned her 25+ year old wisteria tree. It was next to the fence line and like all wisteria it grew very viney and was growing on the very neglected and half decomposed fence. It was in the back corner of my mother-in-laws property...

    Blazer or Bronco?

    All right everyone, being that this is the only forum I am active on and I don't have any other forms of social media I thought I would get some of your input. I know I should probably go ahead and get in a 4x4 forum but I don't really want to. So I got my tax refund and am thinking about...

    Scoop inserts, intake covers, and radiator cover

    Wanted to see what kind of interest there may be for some trim pieces. I just took some older trim pieces (scoop inserts, intake cover, and a radiator cover to local shop to get a cad file made of profile and bolt layout. Artwork/ designs are tbd. The guy told me once he has the profile and...

    Useful trick

    Just came across this thought it could be a good fix for random breakage. I know I will try it. I'm curiouse how well it will sand smooth and paint. It could be a quick alternative to Bondo patches I often to do on metal door frames. The title is a bit misleading. https://youtu.be/KU2qph2vG9Y...

    85 for sale

    Just posted on CL. Let me know what you guys think of the ad, aside from the price being too high. I know that many of you won't touch a second gear issue for over $7-800 or even less. Not many of these bikes in my area, (or at least on CL) and it's just a starting point. But i would like to...

    Tank art

    Dude finally got going on the artwork. he cut a tendon in his hand and was down for like four months. I'm really happy so far. As he adds more color and detail it really starts taking shape. Sent from my SM-G360V using Tapatalk

    RIP Malcolm Young

    I hope Malcolm was aware of his place in rock and roll history as his music has had an influence across so many generations. Often taken a back seat to his brother, Bon and Brian it was primarily his heavy rhythms and song writing that gave AC/DC their signature sound. I can't help but think of...

    Finally a vacation

    Starting my first vacation in 2 years. Needed it badly. Weather is still good enough to get some rides in but main reason is to build 180 foot of fence in the back yard. A break from work to get some work done, funny how that works. Anyway I'll get some progress photos up soon. Got all my...

    Total eclipse when I fart!

It was pretty sweet we had the song "total eclipse of the heart" playing at one point. It wasnt till after i thought that dark side of the moon would have...

    Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance

    A friend just gave me this book to read. I haven't started it yet, haven't read a full book in at least two years. Anyone ever read this? And is it worth the time? Sent from my SM-G360V using Tapatalk

    Pillion opening mechanism ?

    http://exactrep.com/acatalog/Pillion-Seat-Mechanism-171B.html#SID=15 Anyone have any first hand experience/ knowledge with this assembly? I think it could potentially be handy to at least put my back up prescription glasses and wallet in when riding. Currently I put everything in my jacket...

    85 thinking about selling

    Thinking I might sell the 85. My lady is strongly suggesting I don't need two vmax's. Part of me says "what does she know?" And part says "she's probably right" so I'll take offers on the 85. It does have a second gear issue. Slips out around 6500 rpm. Feels like a brief loss of traction then...

    Passenger back rest

    I'm wondering if there is a lower profile back rest that can bolt onto my existing? I'll get a closer pic later but it appears to me the top portion of the back rest could be unbolted and maybe a much shorter, like stock grab bar style could maybe replace it. If so I could swap it on and off...

    Does this tolerance look ok?

    Just noticed how close my tire is to drive shaft yesterday. Does this look alright? Tire is a 170/80? I'm not savvy if that is stock or not, exactly what that means. I know it is much closer on the 05 than the ol 85. As far as I can tell it isnt rubbing, but it couldn't get any closer. Sent...
