    Can You Surface IDI Cylinder Heads with Sandpaper?

    I have used a treadmill for surfacing heads block and the like. All I did was buy a belt the right size and grit I wanted and have it run over a glass surface under the belt it worked flawlessly. I actually use it in my moto shop quite a bit on build and rebuilds.

    Cup holders

    Cup holder grip strength is imperative. And I’ve come to learn that the more you annoy the cup holder the less they are able to do cup holding. It is extremely important to keep your cup holder or for the brave few (cup holders) happy. If not, all heck will break loose and you will be the only...

    Quick info or a pic needed for winch mount

    Yeah I thought about doing a front receiver. If I do I’ll probably just weld a receiver tube to the bottom of the winch mount. Not really the main concern at the moment. And to clarify I don’t have a dying need for the winch to be mounted I’m just tired of staring at a brand new winch in a box...

    Looking to see if anyone in Portland, Oregon and surrounding area could do a solid and get paid for nothing.

    So as the title says it would be an easy $300.00-$400.00 dollars. As some of you know I’m wheel chair bound now. I’m moving to a new house and need to rent an enclosed trailer. U haul doesn’t have any big enough I need an enclosed trailer cause it’s to high and hard for me to load a U-Haul truck...

    Trading in my hiking boots for off road tires. Looking for a tad bit of help. (Thread for disabled controls)

    Ohhhhhh Hmmm that’s a great idea. Not quite store bought items. But definitely worth its weight in a side build. Considering I used to own a motorcycle shop I could easily fab it up and make custom cables. Switch the Shepard for one of my Blue Heeleers and we are rolling lol I ordered some...

    I also thought about a pipe insode of about pip with a relief cut so the inner pipe could move forward by itself but then when you pull back it rest on the outer pipe relief cut and can actuate the outer pipe and assembly for the other pedal

    Could really use some good ideas

    I have had it on the street since I bought the house. Mostly because a few neighbors like to park actuall junk cars (always towed in) up and down the street. I would rather stare at my truck infront of my house rather then a Hyundai with no bumpers and crunched .25 panel. Oh and @Jesus Freak I...
