deflate tube all the way and squeeze all the air out and put in air valve to keep it flat.

tire spoons and pop the valve stem side up.

motorcycle talk..

Did pretty good on my first bike ^ (ported, cammed, jetted, pipe, etc YZ450F) Wrecked a few times in the rocks down at the NationalForest. But worse crash was in the driveway 10 feet away from the door. Had turned off gas, and it leaned out, kicked rear end around.. Gravels in the knee and arm. Possible broken bone in the wrist that is still tender occasionally. Helmet saved the noggin cause it has a skuff across it.

its the weekend!!

YZ`s were my fav off roader bikes 250 and 500 kept me busy for many years and the stump pullin PE 250 was great for trails. The highway bikes were numerous and would buy or trade one at the drop of a hat, just to get to run everything out there.

Anyone else here really like the old flat fender dodge power wagons?
One of the vehicle on my bucket list of things I need to own at some point. Along with a series 1 land Rover, and something with a two stroke Detroit diesel.
I really like the big, old, slow, go-anywhere 4x4 trucks. I am thinking of going with a late 80s-1992 toyota 4runner with the 22re I4 engine as my first truck. Good on gas, and lots of fun.

As in a 1948 PW?......I grew up with one on the farm, first truck I got to drive around 9 years old out on the cut fields running fence. That old truck would go anywhere. My first cousin and I bought one when we were around 20 and drove it everywhere, many fishing and hunting trips it got to see.

Yep, a 1948 would be a flat fender. That just refers to the first series of power wagons, in that style.

The project trucks in need of a full restoration are surprisingly affordable. Hopefully I will restore one sometime once I am out of school and have my own place. That would be about the perfect firewood truck IMO, no logging road could stop it.

Well, I'm off to drop off an application at the gas station, and pick up a new degreaser at home hardware. This degreaser looks promising. Reasonably cheaper than pizz off, and about the same PH. If it works as good, I might have found something even better for us nadians. If it isn't just as effective as pizzoff, the savings aren't worth it, they are real close in price.

The older ones had flat front fenders with more square corners, the 47 and on fenders had more rounded corners. The 50 and on up PW`s were the most popular up here and the military sold off hundreds of them as surplus , we could get them for around $500. in great shape.

My home hardware sucks... None of the things I needed they stock... And all of them are on their website.

I did look at brake cleaners though. Crc chlorinated is a mix of trichlorethylene and perchloroethylene. Gunk chlorinated is a mix of perchloroethylene and methylene chloride. The gunk sounds like it would be a damn good paint stripper. The trichlorethylene explains why the crc is about the best brake cleaner... Nothing is anywhere near as fast at dissolving oil as that stuff...

Any thoughts on your favourite brake cleaner?
