Very nice property

 

[Bustedaw11]

Hid indoors and took random crap apart and put it back together. Yup... BTW if your curious, this is what kinda antenna the slt3 has

 

[sumguy75]

Finished my first weathered truck body for my crawler. Still need to do decals and give the windows an old truck look. Will probably get an oxidizing kit to give the wheels and bumpers a rusted aged look...

I'll let you know how this sleep deprived - grand idea goes....

I assume your looking for better reception. I have lousy reception on my stock slt3s . Let us know your results.

I've got a decent selection of pre-made 2.4 antenna id like to try. My range loss is often around 600ish feet and happens often. Even worse after the battery's in the TX have a little time on them.

My old man is a radio nut and wanted a way to easily test a theory of his with it as well.

I'll let you know

*Sigh* I've been dreading this moment... But alas, the time has finally come...

Gonna try out a tip I heard and use some lube on the threads this time. Should make things easier (because as we all know, everything is better with lubrication)!

Since I didn't have any suitable grease lying around, I decided to try out another tip I've come across, and use some chap stick instead

At least now I'm sure my lips won't get dry while I'm working on these!

Chuck those rod ends in a drill, makes life soo much easier!! Unless you like the "finger workout"?

This.

Oh yeah!! Sounds just as obnoxious as I thought it would after seeing the exhaust in a previous pic. Your neighbors MUST be thrilled!?

I'm a believer in loud pipes.... I road many years and I will say the cars around you most definitely notice you a lot more when your loud.

I've owned- 98 Triumph speed triple, 88 kawi 750 (top gun bike!). 07 Honda shadow 750. Built many 450 Honda cafe racers.
Fastest was the 06 kawi 636 ninja.

Still own my first road legal bike, an 07 ninja 250r. Bought new and not worth enough to sell so just stored it in the barn when I stopped riding it. Been there since.

So kinda all over the place with them

It happens!! And yes! Loud pipes saves lives

Yes, and force trail closures.. I live pretty rural, we have a 20 something ahole with a Hardly Ableson who thinks he's evil knievel.. if I lived closer, those loud pipes might just COST him his life! Stupid, only word to describe him. Yeah, I'm older and yes, I was young and stupid too. But I didn't poop where I eat like this clown. I keep waiting to hear the sweet sound of metal hitting the pavement, LOL. That'll be a fine day indeed.

Throwing power tools at it? That feels like cheating.

The chap stick actually worked surprisingly well! I also only got the thread on the turnbuckles going by hand and then used both a wrench and a screwdriver (through the pillow ball in the rod end) to twist them on the rest of the way.

Yep, why just last night I replaced some rod ends with a drill. Works a treat, just be careful not to over do it.. like I also did on one

Gluing up some new tires for the next turf race !
