Glad you're still getting some riding in John - far too cold for that here now

jmink427, what year truck did you have?
Dang Carbon, That's way too warm! Now your just bragging man.
Hey Paul, yeah I think I'm done for the winter. We will get a chance to do some work on the bikes and then look out people it's time to ride!

All my stuff is old.... It's a '99 K2500 Crew Cab Chevy...... 125k miles on her.... Wife drives an '04 Tahoe, oldest daughter drives a '07 loaded Cobalt (Heated Seats and all the buttons) and my youngest just turned 16 so now I need to get her a vehicle... Probably a small SUV or Crossover... she needs the room for her guitars and equipment she uses at youth....

Nothing wrong with old. I drive a 04 Toyota matrix, my wife drives a 03 Venture van and I pay the insurance on my older son's 87 Fiero. My youngest son will be wanting something in a couple years...
I was asking because we used to replace those pins and bushings all the time in those trucks. Just when I got good at replacing them, GM changed the design.
Good looking truck man.

I like older too.
The red Toyota pichup you guys see in my pix and videos is a 1990 over 200,000 miles on her.
The Honda van is 2000 with under 30,000 miles on her.

I always liked those little taco's. My boss has two 95's, one 4wheel and the other two drive. My Toyota has just turn over 172,000. Still kickin'! I better knock on some wood now.

 

[Airwolfie]

I LOVE Yota's!

Here's mine..............

 

[Johnt3]

I've seen that pic on another site when I was looking at scale crawlers!
Hell of a nice job on that one Airwolfie! The attention to detail is crazy.

After seeing the front master cylinder that Carbon just posted, I remembered that mine was acting up the other day when my neighbor took the bike for a spin. It seems the switch is getting bounced by the lever while running down the road. I tried to adjust it out,but that didn't help.
Figures I bought it from mikesxs...
The master works just fine so I might go with a pressure switch instead of what's there now.

I was going to see how long it takes to realise it's not a REAL one!!!

 

[Johnt3]

Ha Ha! Sorry Airwolfie, didn't mean to mess that up for you man.

 

[Johnt3]

Talked to my boss yesterday, I'll be carting my bike back to the shop for the winter.
I'll wait till after the Christmas season to pull the engine.

 

[jmink427]

John, did you get to ride today? I thought about putting tire chains on the XS and going for a spin!

 

[Johnt3]

Dude, I didn't even get dressed today!
I did look outside once or twice though, yep still snowing.
How much ice did you get there?

 

[I am Carbon]

I road for the both of You!
Riding season is in full throttle Baby!
Tshirt weather

 

[Johnt3]

Oh you lucky sob!
When you get a chance, get some more riding in for us Carbon.
I can almost hear ya from here brother. How's that new front master working for you?

 

[jmink427]

We got about 1/2" of ice with about 2" of sleet.....

Thanks for riding for us Carbon...
