So, I sold my truck on Sunday for twice what i paid for it ($3200, bought it for $1600). Last wednesday I went and looked at a truck that I really liked, 00 Silverado with 115k on it. He was asking $7700. Another guy looked at it Friday, said he'd probably buy it and it wanted it held for him...

What are your opinions on vertical hairline cracks in the rails? I had a few on mine (05 xc sp 500) around the bend in the rail. I will post pics later but heres what i did. I grinded a valley into each crack. Then, I vertically tig welded each crack and grinded each weld flush. After that I...

Hey guys, need your help My 30" JD isn't doing it anymore. It is a manual, IMO as far as i know they last longer? It seems everybodys going to automatic but I know of a few neighbors who after 10 years their automatic hydrostatic transmission goes out. I use this for my mowing business and it...

I would like to get a thread going on painting sled torque arms, trailing arms, a-arms, radius rods, etc. I've painted a ton of different things since I've started working on trucks and sleds and truly consider myself a complete amateur. After going through watersmeet multiple times this...

Anybody got the non-covert one? The standard $30 one? Bought one the other day, didn't even think about trying it on, and holy #E11 was it small! Could barely get it on. I have multiple other balaclava that are one-size fits all and they fit without any problems. Mine always get wet around the...

Picked up this new lid tonight. Got $30 off for a Tiny scratch, got 15% off that price ($150), and 15% off the goggles ($80). Came out to almost $200 exact, helmet retails for $180. Didn't plan on buying it, I should probably not go to Ecklunds anymore............

I'm getting new tires tomorrow and I can visually see that my front tires do not sit straight and need to be aligned. I'm getting the tires from Fleet Farm but their alignment guy is booked for tomorrow morning. I'm wondering if there is any better and/or cheaper place to get my front end...

What do you guys and gals use to get rid of poison ivy? I'm not looking to reduce the itching, as I can keep myself from doing so, I just want the rashes and blisters gone. I tried toothpaste and it seems to be helping right now. Thanks

I have on order a 5" fly riser along with the pivot adapter for my new 500. I took the 3" sportech from that sled and put it on my 700 due to the nice shiny looking aluminum. I was sitting on my sleds this morning with nothing to do, so I came up with an idea. I headed over to acatzl550's house...

I was always a fan of Mother's mag and alum. polish, and as we all know, it takes A LOT of elbow grease!!! I told my mom to pick me up some more mothers since it was on sale at fleet farm, well, she did get it. But she also found Turtle Wax Rubbing compound and polishing compound for $1.25 each...

A tornado a few weeks ago took out a barn a few miles away from me. The motor somehow was blown about 20 feet away from the cement slab it was sitting on while inside of a barn. Farmers had no clue how to get rid of it (too heavy) well, me and 3 other buds took a mustang hood, a few boards and...

Like a second birthday for Ezra! Have a great day.

Received the chaincase for my 700 yesterday. Worked on it for about an hour yesterday, and another hour or 2 today and got it all finished up. Went to start it, ran for 2 seconds, backfired, died, and would NOT start again. Took me a half hour to diagnose I ran it out of gas! A few days ago I...
