    I don't know if I posted up the frame side mount work but I had 1/4" plate that I used my press to bend into a 90 degree. In the first picture in the previous post I added side gussets and cut to fit for the frame. The R2.8 is about 500 lbs so it should hold very well considering it is 1 of 2...

    Decided to redo the engine mounts for my Cummins R2.8 install. I bought these (https://www.farmstronginc.com/product-page/cummins-r2-8-repower-complete-universal-conversion-mounts) for the first install and first they were a pain to line up and secondly I felt they transmitted a little...

    Hartshorne/Huber Conditions

    @pooriggy on the excavator. Cuesta Ridge was a huge mess and there was one section so blown out and getting worse with each storm. It was fenced off but that seemed to make the trail even tighter and the fence was falling in on itself. Iggy flagged out a great layout for a redirect which now...

    Looking good stb222! I love how a fresh rotor looks - unfortunately they don't look that good for long. Speaking of brakes - does anyone have a recommendation of caliper paint? I'm redoing the rear axle of my Defender and the brake calipers are looking a little rusty. Something that will...

    I've been bummed seeing the clips on IG 😥 But glad you got it good! We are going up next week - hoping for at least a little snow but will be happy with some sun and warmer temps too.

    No problem! FB Marketplace is time suck between bikes, cars and trailers and other stupid items I get drawn into lol - I'll keep an eye out there. And did you hit up any of the Norco dealers? I know Alex at Shore Cycling in Brick had a used medium complete he was selling but he might have a...

    ISO - Carbon Frame ... 2022 / 2023 NORCO Sight / Large

    27.5 or 29? Not a frame only but for $1800 I thought this was a good deal for a carbon frame complete. Didn't seem far from what the frame only would run. https://www.facebook.com/share/1DHas8nKGb/

    Late last week/weekend at Stowe: Thursday was snowing all day but windy. The main lifts on Mansfield closed half day but we had a blast all day and caught a lot of fun runs at Spruce in the afternoon. Friday started out with the Quad and Gondola closed when I got there at 8:30. I went up...

    The FailResorts IG page had some interesting postings from ex Attitash employees: You are correct - in this day and age this should never happen. This reminds me of the zip line at Stowe that an employee died on a few years ago. There is not much info on it out there but I remember...

    $30 and it's Fri, Sat, Sun and Holidays. You can park for free at the Toll House but that fills up pretty quickly. Also a shuttle runs from the XC center. I have seen some folks park on the side street by the Matterhorn and take the shuttle too (it picks up right by the General Store).

    Long shot but wondering if you could link up with a local Olympic/B Pro kid at JH and Big Sky and just pay them directly? I have a hockey buddy that was in Snowmass over Christmas and a friend of a friend of his wife is an Olympic skier and toured around his 2 kids for the day for $250. The...
