  1. got around to putting the crow 4 point harnesses in before we went to pismo for new years makes a HUGE difference over the stock lap-only belts
  2. congrats and enjoy your new rig!!!!
  3. hilarious that I wasted 9 freekin minutes of my time on that???
  4. what the effe you running? 40's???
  5. for my ranger, except for the ranger only websites, I have gotten a lot of good feedback and ideas from their side by side forum hey pete
  6. the raptors are super sweet trailers, but they have a fatal flaw, at least in the bigger 5vers. the heater drains the crap out of the batteries. raptors drain batteries quick even with the 2 6 volt setups, ALL of the raptor owners that I know complain of the batteries dying quickly. some have gone to running 6, 8 and 10 6 volts, in banks of 2 in series to combat this problem. they do this by utilizing the storage compartment for the batteries.
  7. my 6volts cost less that it would have been to replace with the group 24 12v batteries. costco has the kirkland brand 6 volts for 62.99 each, while the 12v were 79.99 each. Kragen has some smaller 6v for 49.99 each too, but I haven't tried them yet. I was still able to use my stock battery boxes too, even though the 6v'/s were a little taller than the 12vs
  8. that is why I said "granted" before, with the 12v setup. I would have to run the genny at least 1 time a day, just to charge the batteries. on this last trip. i didn't need to.
  9. here is what some of the folks over @ RV.net have to say about the carlisle tires.. carlisle tires I have heard good things about upgrading to a 16 in rim, using e rated tires in the 225 to 235 sizes. I personally have milestars on mine, with 15 in rims, e rating. no problems so far. I have had my rig 2.5 years now, and I am starting to see the cracks around the walls, which concerns me. the tread is still good, though
  10. my batteries crapped out within a year and 1/2 I took the trailer on the first trip with the 6volts, and man. I didn't have to recharge the batteries once the entire trip. granted, my son watched a few movies, and the wife had to run the genny for the mwave , hair dryer and coffee pot, but I didn't need to run the genny directly to charge the batteries had ALL the outside flood lights on (6) , the stereo cranked, and a couple lights on inside for about 6 hours , and the battery level still showed good. im gonna figure out a way to hook up another bank of 6 volts
  11. when I bought my trailer, the two 12 v batteries were connected like the diagram below Now i have the 2 six volts in series, and it looks like this
  12. wait wait wait.... they'll crank your torsion bars, but not mount the 285's???? what kind of chicken stuff is THAT??? I've got 315/75/17's mounted by big brand tire, without hassle. They knew it would rub without the trimming. I told them I was going to trim when I got home, which I did. I would just crank the bars yourself, and look elsewhere, if you wanna rock the 285's
  13. myspace = my friend's teenage daughter is on it, and he has her password and everything. he checks on it once a day. N E WHERE on the net is a place where sexual predators seek out prey....like here.. i BET some sexual predaturds have lurked around here
  14. BAKERSFIELD - Three years and some $2 million later, an off-highway vehicle park north of Bakersfield is dead as of Tuesday. Backers of the project confirmed Tuesday State Recreation officials killed plans for the OHV Park saying a long list of problems with the chosen sit are insurmountable. Among those problems are soil-laden with Valley Fever spores and no access to the site from current roads. The man who spearheaded the project is not happy. “Sure it’s a setback, but I have a plaque on my wall in the office that says …I think it was Albert Einstein who said, ‘In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.’ I’m struggling right now to find the positives and the opportunity in this, but we’re going to look hard at it,” said President of the Kern County OHV Association, d*ck Taylor. The project was strongly supported by local off-roaders who number some 23,000 in Kern County. here is a letter written to the local newspaper regarding the incident, which I think hits the nail on the head The failure of the Bakersfield OHV is a direct example of the minority dictating to the majority. Look at the facts. -Valley Fever has been in the central valley before humans. If it was a major health threat the State would have funded a cure/vaccine years ago. -Erosion is a common problem all over the earth! It happens 24/7 with or without the human factor. -No water for dust control, drill a well just like every other rancher/farmer has done for a hundred years to water their livestock. -No right of way for a road to the park, what bunk. The new freeway that will connect HWY58/99 to I-5 is going to happen no mater how much private property must be purchased to make it happen. The real truth is that the State Parks and Recs found out that this project was going to cost a lot of money,( our green sticker/gas tax money) and take a lot of work, a word State employees do not like to use. The other truth is that the environmentalists threatened the State with a lawsuit, this is their usual tactic when they do not get what they want from their "bought and paid for" State officials. Am I wrong? Look at the West Mojave Plan, years of planning, public meetings and earlier this summer when it came time to implement the Eco's did not like it and filed a lawsuit against the BLM! We the off-road community number in the thousands, we need to take back the State from the Eco-terrorists that are constant in their pressure on our elected and State officials. The Off-Highway Vehicle Commission and the State OHV Parks belongs to US, not the Eco-terrorists, they have no business being on the commission or subjugating OHV Parks and Rec to their twisted will. So, get mad, be politically incorrect, demand your OHV park, start applying pressure to your State officials, Governor and elected representatives or we will lose all of our riding rights. ______________________________________________ note- When the housing market began to boom here in Bako, an OHV site east of the city, that dated back to the 1910's, became a battleground between the off-road community, and developers, who had the Sierra Club weigh in on their side. The two groups came to an understanding that if the OHV was signed off for development, the city would help re-locate to another OHV park. Then it ends up getting exnayed by the state Effin Ca
  15. maybe just the "ford" crowd seriously though, I know the motors work differently. There should be some basic improvements to be done to your truck.

  21. http://www.turnto23.com/news/10610328/detail.html BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- A 7-year-old girl has died after an ATV crash in Arvin on Christmas Day. The California Highway Patrol said that at about 4:40 p.m. on Monday, Megan Bullard, 7, was riding on a 125cc ATV without a helmet on Comanche Drive near Panama Lane in Arvin when her 8-year-old cousin -- who was driving the ATV -- missed a turn in the roadway and crashed the vehicle. Bullard was ejected and died from massive cranial injuries, according to the coroner's office. There's no word on the condition of the 8-year-old boy gee, riding two up on a 125, and no helmet..........I do feel bad for the family about the loss of their daughter, but It COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED
  22. i dunno honestly. I think the place for ford diesels is the diesel page????? find a website forum for your engine, and there should be plenty of information for it.
  23. it is a scam no-one sees that 18 cents a gallon tax, but the politicians' cronies.
