Hard Krom pipes? Had a set very similar on my 1100 Shadow, before I sold up to my '07 Softail Custom. I like my Hondas, but hated the "sound". Even with pipes, they sound horrible. Got to love that HD rumble. I still have stock pipes, but gutted mufflers. Nice deep roar, not crackly noise like my Honda was. Got mine used off craigslist, so didn't get raped. Can't get me off it, that is until my back gets to hurting too much LOL! Saturday was spent in the garage, had a buddy's '87 Mustang over for some welding. Race car stuff. Went out to dinner Sat. night. Sunday I waited to see the rain was not coming, I then spent the morning installing a roof air unit on my race trailer. Should make it more bearable in hot or cold weather(it has heat grid in it also). Got the bike out for a short ride, came back home and washed up the hot rod and took g/f to DQ for ice cream. Our local Ford club meets there twice a month.

Give me 40 acres and we'll turn this thing around............. Veryyy nice.

Dover, PA or Dover OH??

Sounds like my last trip to Beaver Springs, PA in the ol B model......... Thanks for posting the pics Tim.

Ugh...a real Lil Red Express truck with a SBC?? Oh the humanity. Have friends that go to Charlotte for big Ford Mustang reunion every year. It has its fair share of other Ford there too. One guy shows up in a '69 Camaro with a 351W in it!! LOL!! They gave him 1/2 a trophy LMAO!!!

Canton huh? And no call. Jeez.............................I tell ya. I was in Indiana midweek myself. Denver last week. Ya, I'm worldly like that LOL!!

Have seen the tattoo issues. They are kinda rough at first, lots of peeling/scabs right after. Maybe not every time, but the few I've seen done. I give credit for great work, just not my cup of tea. To each their own.

You need one, just at 13ft tall so that you can find your truck in the parking lot. Plus it will keep all the soot off the shiny clean trailer!

Yup, when they are 21 and toned, it is "artistic" and all that. Give them 10 yrs and 3 kids later and that beautiful artwork will look like a 4 yr olds finger painting!!

Look'n good Denny.

Ugh, nothing to ruin a pretty girl like a tattoo. Sorry, not my cup a tea. 5-10 years that will be a ugly smudge of color on her back.

I'm trying to remember, but I think I just used a big screwdriver and pried it out. Nothing much to hurt that way. Or maybe a wood stick or brass punch and stick through the front hole and smack on inner race. That should force the seal out without hurting anything. On cars and light trucks, I usually leave just the spindle nut on and drag the hub over it sharply and that pops the seal off(along with the bearings leaving them undamaged). The big hubs on this might be kinda tough to do that way.

An ol Mercury sleeper on there would be VERY fitting. Good looking truck!

Unfortunately I am passenger on this trip or I would have let you know. No time for side trips.....sorry. No pics. Guess I will be the only one that knows it happened. Bummer for you guys LOL!

On rt 6 in Indiana when a green Superliner comes around a bend coming towards me. I go "Wow....look at that!". As it goes by I realize it is Stan Leman and his E9 truck. Stan does alot of frame hauling for motorhomes, so it is realistic for him to be running around over here. No time for a picture, sorry.

Hmmm,,,,,,, Double Stuf Oreos and a cold glass of milk. Breakfast, lunch and dinner of Champions!!!

If they are nothing "special", then maybe I'll look at getting some 1/4" ID rubber tubing/vacuum line and cut my own? As long as the diesel doesn't eat it up, should be fine. If my local guy doesn't have them, surely he is not going to order "a couple" in for me. Not worth the time/effort.

Ron, I was kinda hesitant about them, after looking at how small they were. Likely not big enough to fill the void of the fitting. It did snug down okay and doesn't leak. Would be nice to get the correct ones(if available).

Paint supplies have quadruple in cost anymore. All the EPA crap has made everything way out of sight! I needed a USB charger for cig lighter. I was at local Azone so I looked around. Found the display with that crap and found one. $13(ugh). I grab it, but continue to look around the display. Ahhh, found another version(different brand) for $9. Perfect, take first one and hang it back up. Walk to counter and low/behold another display with another 2 plug USB charger for $7(brand #3). WTH??? Take second one back and grab third one. Really? Same thing, but 1/2 price? Oh well, pays to not just buy the first one you find. Ken, actually Jeff(regular parts guy there at R/R) takes care of me. He usually remembers me when I started asking for B model parts. Most not get alot of those questions? LOL!!

Congrats Vlad. Just got my passport about a week ago. My work has plans to send me to Mexico and possibly Malasiya!!! Used to get to Mexico with just birth certificate, but have revised it recently and you have to have passport now. Won't be making to Macungie again this year(maybe someday?). Hope you have a great trip and meet up with the guys. Yup, Tilted Kilt!!! We have one here in town. Nice place to eat LOL!!! The scenery ain't bad either! Strangely enough the handful of times I've been there, it was a 40-50's aged crowd of men there eating. Hmmm, not sure why?

So I called R/R Mack in Akron. Tell them what I need, he says, "yup, should have some, how many do you need?"> I tell him two, and he puts them in will call. I stop over on way home and get them. Little plastic sandwich bag with two little round tapered seals. The guy drops it on the counters and waves me away(as he picks up a phone call). He was busy and didn't want to mess with charging me the .05/each ?? I thanked him graciously and walked out. I pulled the line apart again(still dry) and removed my brass ferrel and then poked the original rubber "seal" out of the brass nut. I then slipped the nut on the line and then the new o-ring. I tightened it down and started it up. Dry, perfect. The line is still kinda "loose" feeling, but no where like it was. I was expecting a bit larger seal, but if this works for now? What the hell, it didn't cost me anthing LOL!!! I threw the extra one in the sidebox of the bunk for a later date.

That's crazy..............Very cool.

Great news Mike!

I think the front of an MH would likely scare the bejeebers outta traffic coming up from behind LOL!! Good idear........ Trailer looks super nice.

Wow...even has the hot rod hood scoop!! Typical fire apparatus....Red and very, very clean.
