I'm going to plan a NKY route ride sometime in the next couple months, I'll let you know once it's posted up

as long as there are gas stops, and a place to park my truck and unload, I'm there! 

I'm out for this fellas and gal. Sorry everyone! 

Jd is a good dude. I've bugged him a few different times and he's always been very nice and full of info! 

I'll be watching this thread! Hope to make it out !

Just use rotella you fuck twits. 

Rotella  has changed! I just run straight diesel fuel. Works great. I love to hear the wet clutch chatter. 

It's magnesium. Looking on eBay, almost every cover for sale is peeling inside. I don't get it. Mag needs to breath and doesn't hold paint well. I'm not sure why Honda would have done this. 

I used a dremel today with a tiny wire wheel and while it removed the coating, the dust was brutal, so I stopped pretty quick. 

Just keep an eye on the regulator/rectifier and stator and battery. That's the weak link. Enjoy man! 

I'm back in the dirt! I realize this is the 2016 thread, but I will be keeping an eye on the next thread! 

Ended up with a Crf450x. Lock it up !

I've already got a street bike, and I don't ride it! Haha it's probably going up for sale soon ?? SV is a wonderful bike, can't believe yours hasn't sold yet. 

Preferably the drz400sm but thats not a deal breaker. Must have street title.  Whats out there?

What kind of Bedliner did you use?

i did my hood with tooldip and wasn't very happy with how it laid out. 

 

Put on new tires and blacked out the steelies, painted the bed and wood sides

I always thought an old farm truck with a flat bed like that, and a nice healthy small block with a manual trans would be fun! 

I had a hard time finding a clean drum. Ended up finding a drum at a place called Dayton industrial drum. It had shot blast material in it, so it just had some dust inside. Rinsed it out and started to burn it out.

My plan is to have double doors. One for meat, one to load chips/water.  Going to put legs on it, and wheels. The cooking grates will be loaded through the top. 

I originally planned to use a burner from a turkey fryer, but after a quick experiment yesterday I'm not so sure. 

I set the barrel on my turkey fryer and threw some wood in. In just a few minutes the wood pretty much a hobo furnace.[/URL]

The burner is 58k BTU. I may need to find a smaller burner. I normally only smoke at 220-250 degrees.  Anyone have any suggestions on the burner? 

I have acquired a 55 gal drum, as the base platform for my smoker. Time to start ordering supplies. I will post pictures as it comes together. 

Man. The LS s10 just brought back memories of my project of my teenage years. I  Had a 92' reg cab short bed s10. 4 cyl 5 speed. Destroyed two transmissions in 3 years( I thought i was ricky bobby). Long story short, I scrounged together the parts to do a 305( yes,I know) with a th350. Learned so much about building,cars and life during that project. Good stuff. 

I mentioned a jeep a few pages back and did end up pulling the trigger on one. Found a clean 03. 4.0 5 speed. A/C. engine wasn't very strong, but its clean. Its currently at the engine builder as I type this. 

I swapped out the hardtop for a soft top, BFG radial at k02s, dirtworx bumpers, rancho rs5000x shocks. Going to add a winch and pretty much call it done. Its been great fun for the family. 

My smoker has officially died. Years of over filling and heat has taken its toll. Time to build one. I will post build pics here =)

It makes sense that the chips would smoke quicker without soaking, but on the other hand wouldn't they burn up quicker?

 

i've done both ways. Doesn't seem to make much difference. Some people get fancy, and soak them in juice/whiskey ect. I can't tell much difference. I typically add chips every hourish. If I'm using dry chips, i do the same. Once the meat gets up into the 140+ internal temps I quit adding wood, as I believe all the smoke absorption is ready done.

I'll look into outside sales a bit.  I couldn't imagine working in a store like Lowes etc... I'd go mad

I've thought about driving for Uber on the side, wonder if anyone has experience with that?

you like to drive? Get your CDL.. drive a semi. Its not all that hard to get your CDL. If you don't want to go the semi route, get your Class B and just stick to dump trucks. 

Man, I had no idea you were still in the hospital during our sprint discussions. Glad your here to tell the story. Heal up soon!
