Adding BS to your thread and still hating Taco.....

Pete, the Bradford beds do leave a little overhang even with dualls, but it will look much better than it does now.

Sorry, Pete, I don't trust anything under .500ID on my inlet tract, I worked hard to keep it that open. I'm already totally bummed about the check valve on the very bottom of this new inlet.

I am gonna try to find a way to use the Dodge's filler neck on the RC's tank setup. It's gonna get expensive if I can't use the tanks at work when I need topped up. :twisted:




Oh, and I may have another one of those rubber hoses off an RC tank if you want it, Pete. I'll check my old tank and see how it looks.

Glad to see you finally stumbled back into the forum, Tyler.

Thanks again, BC. 8)

Levi, are you going to buy the Ramcharger that Josh found for you on craigslist?

I still think that thing's in Texas. The ad he sent me said it would be best to email them, and every time I call their phone is busy. I can't find the ad anymore, so I guess not.

I'm pulling the body sometime in the near future. I just bought 2 quarts of chassis saver to hit the frame with.

Meh, the body on mine looked decent in pics. Once I hit it with the steam genny things got a little sour. :lol:

Well, I de-whAt?-stroyed a deer in my Ranger last night. Considering I recently sold my other backup Ranger, I'm looking at having to to pull all my twin stuff off my Dodge and throw it's factory H1C back on so I can have something to drive. :?

On the plus side, it does have a 'gated 12cm housing I swapped onto it to run in my Ranger but still... :( I figure I could plug the primaries oil lines, rip the 5" DP off, and throw my old 3" DP and stuff on there. It'll only make it to the front driveshaft or so, but at least I'll be mobile.

This is all so depressing... :cry:

Can't you ride the Buell and hope your turbo comes in before the weather gets bad?

The weather is already too bad for me. Sure, it's not that bad during the day, but I've got to be at work at 7 and it's a little chilly that early. :P


The Ranger isn't as bad as it could have been, but I'll still need everything from the core support forward. In the dark last night it looked like I may just need a grill, bumper, and headlight. No such luck. :(

I must have missed it but did you order another turbo?

Andy, I missed that too. :roll: I used to ride my bike most of the year round. If the roads were clear in January and February I was riding. Don't be a sissy and just do it, your coworkers will think it's funny when you roll in looking like that kid from the "Christmas Story". :lol:

We have a guy at work that rides his 20 miles each way to work. He showed up the other morning when it was in the 30's wearing just a flannel jacket. Most of the times its just a T-shirt though. He has bigger balls then me because i would be bundled up like that kid.
