    BC’s boat/dumpster fire thread

    M going to say the loops on the sides are for storing oars maybe? That other piece? Beats me. Unless it was a mount for a bilge pump to hang off of?

    AM/FM Radio

    I looked through mine, they all have the wires but they’re all cassette players. None are just plain am/fm. If you decide you want a cassette player, let me know.

    Is there any hope for these tools?

    Like the title says, is there any hope? This tool box was left by the previous owner of the house. I put them on the shelf and forgot about them until I cleaned the shop out this weekend. They obviously sat in water for some time. I’d like to save them if possible.

    LED vs halogen.

    I think I’m going to go with a 20” bar, as my bumper has a decent sized hole down low that it should fit into quite well. I’ve done some looking around and also found some auxiliary push switches that snap into my factory blanks on my dash and match the Oe switches. Should look pretty slick...

    LED vs halogen.

    Now that they’ve been out for a while, what’s everyone think about halogen vs LED off road lights? Looking at putting some lights on my Titan, I’ve got a couple sets of halogen lights but I’m intrigued by the LED pods and light bars. Now I’m not talking about putting 7 light bars on top of my...

    Are “cheap” tires bad?

    I’ve heard a lot of good things about Falken tires, but around here they are priced about like BFG and Michelin.

    Are “cheap” tires bad?

    Man, some good information here. I hear a lot of complaints about goodyear for some reason. The Ironman tires have been ok, not great. Definitely noisy for what they are, and they are wearing fast. They were like new when I got the car at 177k, and now at 194k they are close to the west bars. I...

    Are “cheap” tires bad?

    I’ve been happy with mine. I only bought them because they were the absolute cheapest 31 the local store had, and I needed tires immediately. But, they’ve ridden well, been quiet, and taken me everywhere I needed to go including through snow and mud.

    Are “cheap” tires bad?

    Something I’ve been wondering for a while. I have Sailun tires on my 78, and my car came with Ironman tires. Cheaper brands, no doubt. But I’m the last few weeks, I’ve noticed 18 wheelers at work running sailun and Ironman tires. Now, I’m my opinion, that means these tire companies know what...

    Lawn mower stator

    I think I figured out why it wasn’t charging lol. It’s pretty crispy. Good news is, both mowers are identical. I even swapped over the steering wheel and seat, since my old ones were in better shape. And y’all were right, it was under the fly wheel. Pretty sure one of my steering wheel puller...

    Lawn mower stator

    Good point, I’ll look into that.

    Lawn mower stator

    Yes, both are intek. Probably not the greatest, but they do carry the B&G name so there’s that. The first mower was free, I’ve got $40 total in the second one. So $40 for two riding mowers, I think I came out ok. I feel like the parts are all interchangeable.

    Lawn mower stator

    The lift mechanism and attachment is the same. Both are husqvarna mowers, everything is pretty much identical between the two except one came from a dealer, the other looks like it came from Lowe’s. Old mower has an intek 22Hp Briggs and straton, new mower has a 23 Hp Briggs and straton. Also...

    Lawn mower stator

    I haven’t had time to look yet. Got busy trying to figure out the deck belt, and now we’re at t beach for a week.

    Lawn mower stator

    Anyone have any experience with replacing one? Picked up a husqvarna mower recently for a whole $40. Only issues are the deck is missing, and it won’t charge the battery. The good news is it’s identical to my current mower, so I can move the deck over to the new one and swap the stator out too...

    BC’s boat/dumpster fire thread

    Well, y’all were right. Just got to put eyes on this thing in person yesterday, and good lord it’s rough. Holes drilled all over the hull to mount various parts. The front deck is busted in. There’s a 110 house outlet wired into the bow for who knows what. About the only good parts left are the...

    GMC Savana, Plus a Chevy Express Now Too

    Yea I wouldn’t expect miracles. It’s pretty peppy in our farm truck still, but it’s a 2wd, single cab short bed. Big difference in weight between it and your junior school bus up there.

    BC’s boat/dumpster fire thread

    Ok final decision has been made. This boat will be scrapped. Motors will be sold. I was talking to my wife this morning about this. After the baby gets here and we find out how much daycare will cost, we will consider a boat for me. A Jon boat, like I really wanted to begin with. So there we go.
