    DIY Beadlocks

    Got a set from Bobby Long (Longfields) last week. They are pretty typical in the DIY lock department. Thing I liked about them over others is the inner ring sit inside the wheel lip and not on the outside edge, and it has a 1/4-3/8" ring around it to prevent the outer ring from coning in much...

    A few Midwest wheelin pics

    Went a new park this weekend. Closest wheelin to me now, less than 2 hours. 250~ acres and it has been started, but plans are for a lot more I hear. What we hit in this short day didn't even come close to all the trails. Nothing great, but a good mix, and when it's wet, it's tough and MTR's...

    Oil Preasure sending unit whoas

    Swapping from the stock idiot sensor to the sending unit to run the gauges and this happened. Any clue on how to extract? It's pretty flush with the block and getting an EZ out in there will be tough. Very tight area there.
