Yeah I'm not so worried right now sinces its my wife and myself around, but it would suck for an accident to happen and my wife is very clumsy. Evan

That is a good thing. I've seen alot of people with fingers missing. Maybe this will cut that shit down alittle. Evan

I just got a 51" Projection TV today. I'm finally getting rid of my 19" POS. Got a question though. This model doesn't have a protective screen in front of the main screen. I looked into the Mighty Shield system that they sell. Its a custom installation job and costs like $280 for them to come over and do it. I'm a do it yourself kinda guy for sure so any ideas? Can you buy a kit or should I just get a glass company to cut me a nice plexi glass cover for it. What have people done? I've got a hook up on custom plexi glass back in Marietta from my car audio days so it would cost me like $5 for an 8x4 foot sheet. Evan

At U Wrench it if they have heads this time around there $20. Don't know about intake, but probably the same. Evan

Probably near the tail shaft, but on newer stuff it could be somewhere else. They usually drive off a gear that is on the output of the tranny to read the speed of the driveshaft. Evan

so you must be a head hunter. Who do you work for? Evan

Well my club currently runs lots of public roads (legal right of ways). The catch is that the public almost never uses them. so we run them and the mud holes and ruts get deep and the hills get worn down to the point that large rocks and ledges are everywhere. The roads also have no bridges so every drop into a creek is a 1 to 4 foot drop off and every climb back out is the same. So no even a family SUV could never make it on its own and most vehicles with smaller than 33" mud terrain tires couldn't either. The ODNR is planning to close them as roads and reassign them as offical trails. Evan

Haha thats kinda funny and really does sum up the movie. Evan

If you do you can let me know and I'll include it in my list that I'm sending from my 4x4 club. Evan

First you have to look at what is going on. In most clutch set ups that I've seen if a cable is broken you can't disengage the clutch. If a hydraulic system loses pressure then you can't disengage the clutch either. In your case it doesn't sound like the clutch will engage. If you start it in gear does the car try to move? If not then your clutch disk is not engaging against the flywheel. In this case it could be that the clutch disk is installed backwards. If its got a hydraulic slave cylinder I'd check to make sure the push rod is moving throughout its entire range of motion. You can check this by unbolting the slave cylinder from its mounting location near the throwout arm. Once its removed if the clutch engages itself then you probably need to get a new slave cylinder. If not then you probably need to drop the tranny and double check everything. Oh one more thing. Also check to make sure that your clutch pedal has enough free play. It can be that the master cylinder pushrod is adjusted out so much that its pushing fluid through the system and holding the clutch off the flywheel. Evan

The answer to the first question is yes. Any trail we send them will be included in there trail system. This is the first time in Ohio history that the ODNR is letting all forms of recreation have trails assigned for there respective purpose. As for the second question I'd say that they will have a required permit. It may or may not be free, but even at a cost it will still be better than we have now which is no offical ohio 4x4 trails. This permit is used as the ODNR's primary resource gathering material. They use it to track how many people use there trails and campsites and adjust there budget accordingly. Evan

Check out this email I got from Bill Keapner of the Ohio Multi-use trail Association. HI This letter has two purposes, the first is something you already know, you are not a member of OMTA. You are receiving the benefit of all the work OMTA is doing for off pavement recreation free. This letter was sent to all OMTA members today. OMTA had a meeting Wednesday with Natural resources about the state’s trail plan. We can have what we have been asking for, a state recognized system of off pavement recreation across and around the entire state of Ohio. Routes suited for 4x4 vehicles, routes for dualsport type motorcycles and routes for ORV’s. They would be published and the DNR will work with us to get the supporting legislation we would need for the ORV routes now allowed by law. We could just say, “We ride every dirt road” but they do not make the map unless we show destination (place-to-place) routes. We can show multiple ways, we can show ways we are going, we can show ways we would like to go, but we have to show systems. The DNR has some fantastic maps, and they are sending me copies for every Southeast county from Columbus east and Columbus to the River. I can get them for every county in the state. If you have an off (and on) pavement route you use for your recreation in any county in Ohio we need to get it in the system. WE HAVE A TIME SCHEDULE WITH A DEADLINE! This is what OMTA needs: The name of the county you have a route(s) in so I can get the official county map from the DNR. A description of the route for example, suitable for (dualsport bikes) (4x4 vehicles)(ORV’s) (any off road capable vehicle). The route is (easy)(has technical sections). The route is (mostly gravel with dirt sections)( mostly paved)( seasonal use only), I am sure you get the idea. This is the plan I have in mind. In the next 5 days send me the name of the county you have a trail in so I can get the map sent to me. Write out the description of the route(s). I would like everyone with a route(s) to come together by the first weekend in January to put their route(s) on the map. This is statewide, if you have a route you ride out of Cleveland we need it, if it is out of Cincinnati we need it. No matter where you live, no matter where you ride we need your route(s) for the statewide trail system. There are three types of routes, routes we use now, routes we are working on and proposed routes. Yes we can put a route on the map as a proposed route. Do not miss this opportunity to make what you have said you want, a statewide trail system, a reality. If you are a rider who uses abandoned railroad spurs please include them, rails to trails can include us too. OMTA has worked very hard to get to this opportunity for off pavement recreation. Please spread the word that we need to know where the routes are, that everyone needs to be involved. This e-mailing is to members only but we need everyone who has a route they use or are proposing to be involved. I will be sending a version of this e-mail to non-members too but you are a leader by virtue of your OMTA membership. Using a baseball term, we are in the batters box and for the sake of off pavement recreation and OMTA we need to hit this one out of the park. Remember you are OMTA. Meeting time and place will be dependent on the membership’s response to this e-mail. Please respond to this letter even if you are not a paid member of OMTA. You need all the trails recorded! Over the last year OMTA has accomplished a tremendous amount of benefit for off pavement recreation from HB 299 to GPSing the Wayne trails that the Feds have mandated in order to keep and expand the system. The Wayne had no mandate to do it themselves but it had to be done if more trails are to be added. There are all kinds of great reasons we need all the paid members we can get. Many folks must think the fifteen dollars is too much to bear. OMTA is the only voice off pavement recreation has in Ohio. Do not hope we can continue without your support. William A. Kaeppner Have you joined OMTA yet? www.ohiotrails.org

You may be able to increase the lenght of the push rod going into the master cylinder from the pedal. It may have an adjusting bolt on the rod somewhere. Evan

You need a bright ass flood light next. that would be funny he'd get a sun burn. Evan

^^^ haha thats funny shit Evan

the second one is awesome. that would suck. I've only tried flips like that a time or two. Got owned Evan

Rambo would have made himself king of Afganistan with that thing. Evan

Fixed http://vid2.stileproject.com/1ec93b1eff327beb1fa720bf98eddaf0/peen4.wmv Makes me wonder why humans still exsist. Evan [ 11. December 2004, 04:37 PM: Message edited by: Tractor ]

As a hillbilly I'll tell you that farting is and always will be cool. especially when you make people puke. Evan

I wonder how much money or drugs they got for that shit. Evan

that shit makes me wanna scrap my toyota, but I couldn't get DOT approval for it so no insurance means I can't take it out on trail rides. Evan

NWS Fixed the link http://vid2.stileproject.com/1ec93b1eff327beb1fa720bf98eddaf0/peen1.wmv I love the look on there faces. Evan [ 11. December 2004, 04:36 PM: Message edited by: Tractor ]

I'm thinking its FWD also. Evan

My old 1200watt gold series pyramid amps used to have both types of connectors. I'm sure that most name brands don't have anything except RCA's, but the cheapies will. Don't laugh at the pyramids either. those amps got me more trophies than most people have seen. Evan

You could try resetting the ECU. As cars become more like computers its possible that a good old fasion reboot will fix stupid problems. If not then I'd guess its gonna be a fun job troubleshooting it. Evan
