    Rustproofing my MV

    Kano Labs (same guys that make Kroil penetrating oil) has a line of rust preventives and dissolver. I was just looking for the same thing and ran across it, if their rust stuff is anywhere as good as Kroil penetrating oil sounds like a good bet (btw I don't work for these guys). Here is the...

    I've been waiting all week for the pics, thanks. Can't wait to see them on your bobber. I'm hoping these adapters are economical so I can do the same to my bobber. Regards, Joe Hance Towanda, PA

    14.00 tires rubbing and not sure PSI I should use?

    Nope nothing in the back of the truck just the spare. The fellow said he used springs out of a C60 or C70 truck, maybe that could make it sit lower in the back? Thanks for the psi advice, I'll try lowering it down a bit at a time.
