    VW guys, I need a body shop for a 65?

    Dave is a family friend and very good guy. He builds/restores all VW’s and has a paint booth in his shop. Not sure if he deals with insurance. https://www.instagram.com/dnr_restoration/

    Smoker recommendations

    If you really want a smoker I prefer the green mountain. It has held up better than my Traeger did. I only do ribs on it now. The smoker flavor gets old fast. I cook all my beef on this...

    Yep just a Tuesday night

    Standard maintenance. I’d rather do 12 shots and 3 beers because my stomach gets full really fast 😜

    The great Debate Gas VS Diesel.

    It would be hard to go back to a gasser after having a diesel. The power delivery in general is so much better, and towing there is no comparison. Listening to a gasser scream at 5-6k up every hill and hearing it shift at those rev’s is not a good feeling….But I haven’t driven a gasser with a 10...

    Let's talk about headlights?

    I bought the Recon projectors last year on the 25% off sale. They are just another Chinese light, but they do have good customer service and I think that’s what you pay for. I couldn’t find a bulb that was bright enough for them. They said LED’s don’t work in projectors… Ended up buying an HID...

    Las Vegas Grand Prix formula 1-official thread

    It seemed like a disaster with the early mishaps, but I thought the race was a good one. The track was boring from a purist perspective but the extremely long straights and DRS kept it close. I’d rather stay up at 10pm Saturday than wake up at 5am Sunday to watch it. I think the undercards...

    Shlbynto any updates on the kid?

    Please DM your address! We love the babies. I told my wife your story and she’s dying to go shopping. I can’t imagine raising one of them by myself. My hats off to you

    NHRA Finals Pomona

    I grew up going with my dad and grandpa. We took the kids Sunday (with my dad) and they are asking when we can go again. There’s nothing like it. We’re booked for Vegas Dec 1-2 for the sprint car showdown. Hopefully they like it and we can skip the Disney bs and do some real vacations outside of...

    God damn my life sucks who is going out on a wake board boat

    I’ve learned from driving my friends wakeboard boats they don’t turn at all going backward and you have to be moving at a decent clip for the water to catch the rudder to turn going forward. Total pain in the ass at a busy ramp or dock with some wind. If you have the room and it’s calm, it’s not...

    Lake Powell Lament

    Powell is beautiful. We just towed our boat from SoCal up to Flaming Gorge which is on the northern Utah/ Wyoming border. The whole area is in the mountains and forest. You can drive around or hike and see wildlife all day long. Being in the mountains does it for me a lot more so than being in...

    Trailer Tires

    I’ve been curious if the 12-14 ply trailer tires make a difference. In my mind there would be less stress on the shoulder where they always tend to separate because of how rigid the whole tire is.

    Trailer Tires

    Yes, full cold max psi. They have been covered and protected while not in use. There’s no weather checking or weird wear. I do drive 70-75 normally so that could be the issue? A thousand miles is a long haul at 55 out of CA then 65 the next 1200 miles when the speed limit is 80.

    Trailer Tires

    I take back all the good things I said about the Maxxis M8008…. I’m on my way home from a trip to Flaming Gorge. 300 miles in, two tires separated and I had them replaced. On the way back 1 more separated. The center of the tire bulges and the rubber on the outside edged splits to where you...

    God damn my life sucks who is going out on a wake board boat

    I’m confused if you’re going out for a ride on a wakeboard boat or if you’re looking for a ride on one??? My decoder is fucked up. Either way, if I had one I’d invite you on anytime!

    Trailer Tires

    Maxxis 8008 for me as well. I worked at a tire shop from 2008-2016 and saw countless Carlisle’s where the tread blew off. We had the best luck with the Maxxis then. I run them now at 75mph in 110 heat and haven’t blown one yet. Good Years were always good as well but generally much more...

    Old boat value?

    In todays market, I would start at original MSRP and let the bidding go from there.

    Arrowhead Peeps!

    Bills closed down? That was my favorite! Used to eat there every day when I worked up there. Bummer.

    Bbq sauce and tri tip recipe for smoker

    The Kinder Spicy BBQ Sauce is my new favorite on ribs, chicken thighs and drumsticks. The seasonings are pretty good but seem pretty mild to me. I like the pre-seasoned Costco or Stater bros Santa Maria tri tips. Can’t go wrong with either.
