Just Plain Good Ideas
Anti-seize
By Tony K
Recently I have discovered (or better yet it was pointed out to me) the benefits of using anti-seize when installing bolts in corrosion prone areas. While it may be obvious on areas of the frame and other exposed areas there are additional places that will also benefit from a little dab of this stuff.
Broken Bolts
By Tony K
It happens to all of us. Sometimes it’s not directly our fault but we have to fix them none the less. But don’t panic, even on the trail, as the fix is not that far away.
Helpful Hints
By Eric B and Tony K
These are things that you may find helpful and just might not have thought of prior to making a huge mess.
Bend a little foil trough for draining the radiator into a bucket. Works great and easy to collect the water compared to letting it run off the frame!
Aussie Mirrors
By Tony K
Actually they are not Aussie mirrors as the Australians I have heard from say they were never offered down their way. This style of mirror actually came from Europe. I really like them while wheeling due to the fact they are a convex mirror that lets me see more of the side of my rig.
The Eric Throttle
By Tony and Eric
This may be the best and cheapest mod I have ever made. I call it the Eric Throttle because the first place I ever saw one was in his rig. A left over mountain bike brake lever and a $5 set of cables are all you need to make up this throttle that is attached to your stick shift.
