    Maryland Military Vehicle Campout

    I got to thinking more after i posted. i would like to race my 10 speed bike against my son Matt.'s tractor. Now when a 55 year old guy, with no ankle and a bad knee, beats your 818 its time to get smaller tires on that tractor.

    Maryland Military Vehicle Campout

    Ian and I were talking today about drag racing our deuces. Imagine an OD version of Pinks, for bragging rights of course. We could even try racing a bicycle against a deuce. There is a speedway right up the road from the camp ground. I can just imagine Ian on a bike after a hard nite on the...

    take a look at these wheel bearings & brake pads / drums

    Frank is 110% dead on. There is nothing worse that having a failure, that could have been avoided, and trying to find a way to get home in a 13000- 35000 truck.

    Maryland Deuce

    Dave and i had a good day driving deuces at the farm across the street and then we had a class on HEMTT wheels. (Maybe I need to hold another class for our manufacturing experts on the site. it may help!!) I just love watching someone drive a deuce for the first time. We hit corn fields and...

    oil leak out of exhaust pipe

    Well that is what we get when we buy a truck at discount rates from GL, sight unseen.. If you buy from a SS member it should not look like this, but it will be a little more $$$$. Now I know this violates the "Frodo 10 dollar profit rule" but I do not care. I spend 20 -30 hours with every truck...

    What should I do with my old bed.

    I had always wanted to mount a drop side on a Bolster for the ultimate firewood/mulch trailer. Its large and its low to the ground for easy loading. Also, you could still use the bows and cargo cover if needed.

    Closure On HEMTT Rim Adapter Plate Project

    I love the A3 rims. A MD SS member has them on his bobber and they are perfect. But they go for @ $2400 for 6. HEMTT rims went for about $31 each, before shipping. These are great looking wheels and for 1/3-1/2 the TOTAL cost, after you modify, you have a great looking and performing wheel. I...

    HEMTT adapter plates & cost

    That was part of the engineering cost. I am having ACORN sell them. They are immune!!! These plates are for off road use. However, bolt on plates are DOT legal if they meet engineering standards. Welded wheels, not matter how nice they look may get you tagged by the DOT at their inspection...

    Closure On HEMTT Rim Adapter Plate Project

    I just got that one. I am brain dead at this stage. I like it. And thanks for some humor. However if you want an adapter plate made for running your VW rims on your 900 series. I am your guy. I can whip up a plate , I promise to only profit $9.99 so I get rich without anyone getting upset...

    HEMTT adapter plates & cost

    Mike I knew you were there, and thank you. I am guilty for not just sending you a pm telling you what was going on. But we are all busy. Yes when I use the term "manufacturing expert" it is used in a negative connotation. It is almost as bad as the term "community organizer". I lump both of...
