    Running backwards?

    One exception to that spark ignited engines can't run backwards is the early 2 stroke gas golf carts. They ran the engine backwards to get reverse! I've only seen one and that one and it has since been sold due to issues.

There are so many simularities across the...

    Replace M939 Front Axle Seals and Boots DIY

    Yeah its a pain in the butt, the last one I did I ended up sewing the boot to the inner clamp with 5lb fishing line. And no it doesn't leak. One other thing I've done is to clean the axle tube real good and rtv the boot to the axle tube and then give it a day to set. You must use the grey high...

    Replace M939 Front Axle Seals and Boots DIY

    The one in the retainer in the end of the axle tube? I used a big slide hammer, but don't use the fingers to pull it out. Use the block the 2 fingers attach to instead. You'll have to put it through the seal and then thread it on the slide hammer. It takes some force to knock it out. I have...

    Driving thru sand

    I made a new air hose just to air this thing up, first of this week. It worked great. I used the clip on chuck so no more holding it on the valve forever.

    Driving thru sand

    Hey guys out this weekend on the beach at ramp 49 in Frisco NC. I dropped air to 35 psi the whole way around, left it in high, 6x6, and limited the Trans to 2nd. She marched right out there with no issues! I had to slow up as I was leaving my brother in the silver ram.
