    The on-screen timer was off by over a minute. Unofficial says 7:26, but even that looks slow based on the livestream time elapsed. 

    8:30 is the time on the youtube video to watch the stream 8 hrs 30 min sorry for the confusion

    This is Chat GPT's rebuttal to the original statement, I was curious what he/she would say.   Funniest part is when they included Climate Change.:classic_laugh:

     

     

    It sounds like you've lived a life filled with hard work, integrity, and a strong sense of personal responsibility. Your frustration is palpable, especially when faced with what feels like demands to share your hard-earned wealth with those who haven't demonstrated the same level of commitment.

    However, it's important to consider a few points:

    1. Not Everyone Has the Same Starting Point: While you've worked hard and built your life from the ground up, not everyone has had the same opportunities or circumstances. Some individuals face systemic barriers, discrimination, or economic hardships that make it incredibly challenging to achieve the same level of success, regardless of their work ethic.

    2. The Role of Empathy and Social Responsibility: While you rightfully take pride in your achievements, it's also essential to recognize the value of empathy and social responsibility. Society functions best when those who are more fortunate are willing to support those in need, whether through charitable giving, social programs, or advocating for systemic change to address inequality.

    3. Complexity of Social Issues: Issues like wealth redistribution, climate change, and social justice are complex and multifaceted. While you may disagree with certain approaches or policies, dismissing them entirely as politically correct or driven solely by self-interest oversimplifies the conversation. Constructive dialogue and critical thinking are crucial in finding effective solutions to these challenges.

    4. Respectful Dialogue: While it's natural to feel frustrated when your viewpoints aren't acknowledged or respected, it's essential to engage in respectful dialogue rather than resorting to blanket statements or dismissals. Meaningful change often arises from open-minded discussions where diverse perspectives are considered.

    In conclusion, while your frustration is valid, it's worth considering the broader context and complexities of the issues at hand. Empathy, social responsibility, and respectful dialogue can pave the way for a more equitable and inclusive society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

    wow so this is a AI generated response that is incredible and totally programed by liberal democrat this world isn't going to get any better. why is everyone so entitled

  5. i don't like bearing buddy's to much grease will make the bearing run hot https://stratson.eu/over-greasing/    as for the axel rating look at the rating of the tire i believe the bearing set you are running are on axels from 2500 to 3500 lbs   https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Bearings-Races-Seals-Caps/TruRyde/LM48548.html      https://www.etrailer.com/faq-how-to-tell-weight-rating-trailer-axle.aspx#bearings

  6. drive forward on flat level ground and measure the tow with a tape measure hook one end of the tape on the tread and measure across to the tread on the other tire then repeat on the back side of the tire. the front measurement should be 1/8 less. without looking up the spec i would think you would want about a 1/8 inch tow in but im sure a quick search you can find the oem spec. being its both tires doing the same thing wearing on the out side it probably a tow adjustment. if one tire is wearing usually a loose ball joint or camber adjustment the car will pull to one side

    I've never once seen (or even heard of) a SxS have a belt fire.  I've seen several SxS fires, every single one was from a cheap gas can in the bed. 

     

    -TJ

    the issue with the belts is that the cooling air is directed onto the turbo to keep the area cool if fragments of belt are sent out of the clutch case it is possible to catch fire on the turbo. but if your having that much belt slip it will be throwing codes and derating the machine. i had my turbo catch fire pretty good behind china wall not from belt debris but from return oil tube coming loose and spraying oil all over. the fire was a pain in the ass to extinguish being that all the heat shrouds had trapped the oil that was burning and you could not physically get the extinguisher to spray the burning material. 1 fire extinguisher and a few bottle's of water and i was able to get the fire out with no damage other than having to bend up the heat shields to get the fire out. 1 business card to make a gasket and i was able to continue on and get back to camp. i run heavy equipment around a lot of saw dust and not a stranger to stuff catching fire so this really wasn't a big deal but if anyone else that hasn't dealt with fires the machine would of been a total loss

    Some of us ride further than beer stop to beer stop and some actually use the skinny pedal more.  A loop from the dirty nasty low rent washes down to Duners Diner, a rip around Buttercup and stop by the old rope swing under I-8 and back to home base will leave you out of fuel on the run back. 

    when we do that run we go over to sidewinder and get gas and a icecream

  9. i dont understand why in glamis someone needs to carry gas in a sxs . i have no problem leaving wash 10 going to china wall the swing set and down to duners diner and back on a single tank. i have brought gas for the quads on that trip because on of the three will run out usually 1 miles from camp on the way back. i do have a roto packs mounted on the cage on the cold side of the engine 99 percent of the people riding with extra fuel don't even need the fuel for the rides they do. i wish them a speedy recovery

    I have a buddy who likes to be ride right behind me - I'm always worried he's going to slam into me.  I don't know why he and others like to be so close - to me it takes the fun out of driving...I'd rather watch the leader and pick slightly new lines if needed, plus no need to eat each other's sand....but to each their own - glad everyone is OK.

    Why do people who like to drive so close to each other enjoy it? I'm curious to know the reasoning. Makes it more like you're racing? 

     

    i got that same friend but he has a excuse he is actually going blind and cant see any detail so he just follows close. on the quad he has ran into me quite a few times it actually makes it the rides a little more exciting trying to pull lines with out anything i have to check up on never want to hit the brakes
