Local Photography, Mine!

NoTrax — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:41:01 GMT

I have not been back here for a bit, sold my Zuki, and havent had the money to spend on building my Jeep.. Instead I bought a camera for school. I just completed my first year at Weber State, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Photography.

I havent began my first classes for photography, but I decided to get snapping... (LOL) I spent the last month, August like a madman looking for heroine!

Let me know what you think, also some may be over processed, but I tried not to!

Let me know if you like! I uploaded some here, but I have a fan site on Facebook with lots more. http://www.facebook.com/marcedwardsphoto

Toyota Tacoma rear axle shafts

Going Up! — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:36:46 GMT

I have a set of Toyota tacoma rear axles shafts. Look to be in good shape, cam out of a newer (atleast 05-06 body style) TRD E locked rear axle. They are complete, they have the brake shoes and all the parts but the drums.

Looking for 25 each, or 40 for both.

You can reach me at 801-473-8148

I hate it when....

Cody — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:39:27 GMT

...you purchase a cup of fruit, or a fruit plate of some sort, and it contains cantaloupe. Seriously, I want to EAT the fruit, not spend my time keeping my fruit away from the cantaloupe so it doesn't become contaminated.

It has to be a cost savings thing for the seller. They don't want to give you an entire cup of good fruit so they use up 50% of the capacity of the cup by putting inedible cantaloupe in it. It's kind of like that gross jelly stuff around spam, except I bet that jelly stuff tastes better.

That is all.

SB Chevy to T-5 transmission ?

gr8outdoorzman — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 03:25:44 GMT

I have been looking around for flywheels that work with a SB Chevy and Jeep T-5 transmission. The T-5 is currenty behind the 4 cyl pontiac engine so it already has a chevy bell housing. My questions are. does the flywheel that is hooked to the pontiac engine the same as the sb chevy and will match up to the crank? Then does the clutch disc and pressure plate match up to a 10.5 flywheel that is recomended by AA. Lastly i am looking at Flywheels in JEGS catalog and they have a 10.4 flywheel that is $250 less. but is a 10.4 not the 10.5 that AA said i needed. So is that .1 of an inch going to make or break it from working? If anyone has tried this conversion could give me some insite that would be great. Or if there is just some transmission guru's out there that works too. Thanks

New motorcycle!

Greg — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 03:17:45 GMT

So I decided I needed a 2nd motorcycle for technical trail riding, something that the DR650 isn't very good at. I wanted a bike that was small, light with good, manageable power, electric start and a suspension that could handle some serious abuse. Since it was a 2nd bike, it needed to be affordable as well... a lot to ask, huh?

I ended up finding a '03 WR250F on craigslist for a decent price. The WR250F is built to be a race bike of sorts, for hare scrambles and such. It's a high-performance bike, much like it's big brother the WR450. '03 was the first year for the electric start, which was highly desired, but the bike does have a back-up kick start. Very cool!

The owner had the WR as his first motorcycle and he beat it up pretty good learning how to ride. The maintenance on the bike wasn't that great either, the chain was bone dry, the bars were bent pretty bad, levers were mis-shapen and all the plastics were discolored from being bent.

One of the things that really attracted me to this bike was in the past, a previous owner had already added a big bore kit! On top of all that, the bike was plated, making it easy to register and make road legal in Colorado. After a quick test ride and considering the pluses I opted to pick it up.

After I picked it up, I added new big bars, new levers, grips, fixed the loose shifter, replaced the plastics, etc. I still need to change the spark plug and oil, adjust the carb, etc but I was happy with the work I had done so far, so I decided to take it for a ride tonight after work.

Riding it is pretty impressive, the bike likes to be ridden like a 2 stroke... it revs to 13,500 RPM!! The power is pretty impressive for a little 250, it really comes on HARD at about 9,000 RPM... you better be hanging on if you get it up there and crack the throttle wide open. It's no torque monster, but it has enough bottom end to tackle anything and the high rev's really make it a hoot to ride. When slowed down, the bike is quite happy to tractor up and down rough terrain. 1st and 2nd gears are plenty deep for slow going.

The suspension simply rocks, considering I'm used to my cheaply suspended DR650. I've ridden into rough washes with way too much speed, enough that I was bracing to pile it up, and the bike soaks it up quite well.

I headed out to Rabbit Valley and rode some of the tough trails and singletrack for a few hours and got a great feel for the bike. Here's some pics of the bike and the trails out at Rabbit Valley. -

2 piece suzuki samurai hard top

airmanwilliams — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 03:17:18 GMT

I have a two peice hard top on my 87 sami at the moment that I would like to see if I can trade for a few soft tops, safari top, bakini top etc. I just painted the small top section black and sprayed the larger section with bedliner. The larger section has a little piece missing on both sides where it goes against the cab but its not bad and I believe one bolt in hole on the inside it broken but there are enough to hold it down.
