My son has the Badlands. He uses it daily. It's been a great jack. No regrets.

Well the weekend is here, so that means I'm about to run out of welding gas and won't be able to get done all the stuff I thought I was gonna get done this weekend.

I agree. Also be aware that the 002 and 091 are slightly different lengths, so if you're thinking to just run the 002 until it breaks and then put in the 091, you may end up redoing your engine mounts (or your shifter length). I ran an 002 with my Ecotec without issues, but switched to an 091...

This is what I'm using on mine. It hasn't had a problem keeping the Honda cool, but it also gets pretty good air flow compared to some other set ups I've seen, like a more tilted or even horizontal mounting.

When I bought my buggy, it had a VW 1835. Fun, but messing with carbs got old real fast. I put in an Ecotec 2.2. Much better with the fuel injection and a noticeable increase in power. Never had to stop and let the engine cool like I would with the air cooled engine. I extended my rear cage...

I fear change.

What County are you in? I bought my Willys truck project from a guy in Lake Elsinore that designs pumps and lift stations for septic systems. He likely has some connections in the field that they can send you to for info. The alternative systems use various pumps, so it wouldn't be much of a...

I usually go and buy something I didn't know I needed until I got there. I'll be shopping for a couple of small items this year.

Flyer shows two dyno pulls for $50. I would take my whopping 250hp sand rail there and put it on the machine just for sheets and giggles, but the front suspension is currently removed for upgrades. It should be fun to watch some others though. They had a good rockabilly band last year...

Haha. Small world. Yeah, David is a buddy of mine from scouts/Jeeping/duning. If your father-in-law can prove he can lift it without spilling hot coals on himself he can have it for $20. That just covers my cost of the handle which I was going to re-use on a 2.0 attempt.

Comes in at 6.5 lbs without charcoal! It's 16 gauge, so just too thick and too big, but that's the metal I had on hand and I was trying to get this donation off the to do list. I was toying with a smaller version, but it seemed like it wasn't going to hold enough charcoal. Then I over did it...

The Vista Optimist Club has a car show coming up, so I'm cutting some metal for raffle donations. Not big ticket items, but sometimes people are happy to just win something. I won some sweet Baja Design lights there last year. Every summer when car show season shows up I'm reminded of how my...

Cool. Let's do a Honda sand trip next season!

I sell one for that works with the flipped intake: https://metalbymike.com/products/honda-throttle-cable-bracket I also have a bracket for the throttle arm and a few other Honda parts. Type in "Honda" at the search icon.

I went to the Super Swap this past May. It's much smaller than the Super Show in the fall. My buddy & I were looking for various used sand rail parts and we did find a few good deals. There was a good mix of new parts vendors and individual guys selling off their old stuff they don't need...

I'm going. I don't need anything in particular, but if I find a good find a good deal on some 15x10 , wide 5 aluminum wheels I can mount up some spare paddles I want to try out next season. Oh and maybe a spare steering box if it's a steal of a deal. I should be selling some of the stuff I...

I'm working on a dash for my buggy today. I'm more than over having a mess of exposed wires going every which way from the radios that are attached to the cross tube with hose clamps. Time for something better. I got the aluminum for this two piece dash cut out after many hours of size...

There's an RV storage service/app that has been popping up on my feed. https://www.neighbor.com/ I don't know anything about it; not giving a recommendation; just passing along info.

Four trips if I remember correctly, but I spend time in Ocotillo Wells and Superstition also. I got a late start this year after swapping in a Honda V6 over the summer and it took well into fall to get some things sorted out. I'm pretty happy with the extra power from what I had, but I will be...

Continuing with adding metal storage containers to my trailer, but I just ran out of welding gas, so that's not getting finished this weekend.
