    AEV Rack disaster (rhino pioneer)

    Haha. THey say you can always spot a first gen blazer driver by the wet left knee. The door always leaks there from the rain gutter.

    70 C-20 4x4 Suburban Father/Son project

    One other tip I didn't send in my pm. You can use the evap line as the return line for the tank. Just be sure to replace all the soft line sections (there are several along the frame, for expansion I think) with new line that is diesel rated. This saves a lot of pluming work.

    Lance I got mine back on the road. New trutrack in the rear and new seals in the t case. Let's hope it holds together this time! When do you begin the swap?

    Need some quick help. FS bike opportunity.

    yeah the super light 29, tall boy, heckler in 27.5, horetheif etc. Doesn't matter, I bought the superfly and have 35 trail miles on it since Wednesday. I love it, love it love it. How did I even ride before this, it's a whole new world. And it's FAST. The reviews were dead on with that one...

    Need some quick help. FS bike opportunity.

    OK I know I can read for years on this bike vs that bike but I needed opinions on a specific opportunity I have. Local shop has one Trek Superfly fs8 left for nearly 1/3 off as it is a demo and frame size is right for me (6,1) Dilema. I am in the market for an XC bike or a trail bike (rather...

    My New ExPo Rig: 83 Suburban Diesel. What should I do first?

    Oh yeah the standyne injector pump will miss the lubrication that is removed from the new diesel. Use an additive in your fuel to help. A lot of guys just run a quart of 2 cycle per tank.

    My New ExPo Rig: 83 Suburban Diesel. What should I do first?

    All the above. I would consider adding an electric inline fuel pump. I did. I only use it for priming with a jumper box. But man it works for that. I am going to wire it to a switch soon. Both a back up and an easy primer. Compared to stock I just run the electric after a filter change or...
