I wasn’t able to go today, but my wife and oldest son went, said it was fantastic. All the kids rides and games were free, lots to see and do. Our house overlooks the fairplex, hoping I can hear ZZ Top tonight.
Google XLR Tail lights. 2000.00-3000.00 each used. There are some guys rebuilding them for a little less, but it is a part that fails regularly with no factory support.
I've used Hagerty and Chubb...for stated value.
I have all my other stuff with Farmers, and they have a classic division with stated value. Saved me 60-100/month to use Farmers bundled in with all my other things. Worth it to call and get a quote from your current policy holder for your home...
**observation only, I spent an hour with a car, mostly looking at braking issues**
It seems that the oil cooler is mounted directly in front of the radiator. It covers 60+% of the radiator surface. Likely a packaging issue. Creates a huge reduction in airflow to the radiator. ***this is not...
***my opinion, with literally no data provided to back up any of my thoughts***
Quick observations- @RiverDave please copy this to the other thread-
First and foremost, I really like this car. There are so many elements that are well considered and engineered-very much from a racing...
Good start-
Two things here- how does it stop, and how does the pedal feel while stopping.
@lbhsbz can fill in the tech section, but here's the basics.
How does it stop-
Is there enough friction between pad and rotor, without killing the rotor or overheating parts.
Is there enough pressure...
I have a set of these tires on my shop truck that tows our dump trailer-295/70(or 75)/18. Really like them-quiet, wears great, very stable towing, works surprisingly good in the mud at the transfer station. Super smooth ride...2016 GMC 2500. Good looking tire, not aggressive, but attractive. Not...
Fusible links.
Its been mentioned in this thread earlier-
I'll keep this short, but I spent many, many years building off road cars with many, many championships.
I once had a driver who broke everything, every race. Suspension, drivetrain, axles, engines, you name it...He could break an anvil...
Barker has skills. He's showing them here. Not many, my self included, would go to these lengths for the end result, a marketing truck. Kudos, and a huge thumbs up for respecting the craft no matter the application.
Dave-You now have the Schiada of sign trucks-as I would expect.
I have until November/December to decide if it take delivery on a new Chevy 2500 ZR2 order-
500 over invoice from Jason@Selman.
I think the deciding factor will be current interest rates and business income/prospects when its ready.
I just did a weekend trip to pismo dunes from LA, in my 35' Super C with a 8.1 gas. Towing a 22' tilt deck at near 3k lbs, with my old L322 Range Rover on it. Close to 9k towing weight. 5 MPG. A dollar a mile. Love the motorhome, and don't regret the gas engine, wouldn't mind the diesel in this...
I have noting but good things to say about the 7.3 gas/10spd combo. It was really impressive for towing.
I sold mine after 5k miles because the chassis/suspension was absolute garbage. I want to mention this was a "covid truck" and that may have been part of it, but, this was my 6th SuperDuty...
Smart & Final- 8 to 10 lb pork shoulder, 25 bucks
Apple wood for smoke
Mustard and pork rub of some sort, apple cider vinegar
Smoker for 10-12 hrs at 225-250 (look up the crutch method with a foil wrap at 160deg)
Internal temp 204-206
Never fails, feeds 10+
Buns and BBQ sauce, coleslaw...good to go.
I have many electrician friends-they all say vertical.
I have many engineer friends-they all say horizontal. (i agree with this one)
I asked my dad what he thought, and he was taught vertical to avoid dust.
Honestly, just pick one and stick with it. I just need them to be consistent.
Also, glad...
