"Dog, I say hey Dog, your goin' about that all wrong!" I too have missed some of the good natured ribbing and pranks, gotta get my groove thing back on (yeah I know someone is gonna run with that statement ) I know I have been guilty of taking life too seriously here as of the last, oh say, 9 months

I was just looking at that thread here yesterday, what a great time that was. We'll square it up by measuring corner to corner, just get her to Kreg's or my house and we'll make it pull like a dream

Youse guys crack me up!
-
She'll do better at home, sorry to hear of her being sick. Hopefully the last one she'll ever have to go through...lots of love to her, yeah you too I suppose

Dave, When you get it just let us know and we can make it bulletproof. We'll take the hubs apart and pack them with GOOD grease, thats the biggest key in all this talk of smaller wheels. Just holler and we'll make it happen...just like your rear tire before Big Bend
-
Cool Beans!!!
-
Dave, You would have to change fenders, HF sells the premade trailers with only 8" wheels. It wouldn't be a big deal to swap it over, you just have to buy wheels and fenders. If you want to make a trailer let me know and we can whip one up for you, I have built half a dozen of them or so.

You know...sometimes you just HAVE to stir the pot a bit, keeps you from blowing up. Besides, it's been a good while since we have had some mindless parlor tricks happen...y'all remember Calimari dont you

How cool is that, wish I had the time off I'd love to join him for the trip
-
All the best Vic, you take care of our gal Tom!
-
You know Jerry, I'm really glad someone picked up on that
-
Now that right there is funny!!!

Well.... You know George, you had mentioned in a previous thread about us moderators doing nothing. Now I can't totally disaree with that, y'all are a good bunch of folks, cept for a few that like to stir the pot a bit and we really dont have a lot of "moderating" to do. We have been getting a good amount of new members here and I didn't want them to misunderstand your statement, that we really do nothing , hence I decided that I, as a moderator, would do something to let the new folks know that we do indeed do something....like change peoples names Now I really love the new avitar, and I wont change Bobbies name to Chickenhawks Mechanic, because, you know, she's really likeable. Perhaps we'll change your name back...perhaps not. You would have to plead your case to the other Mods here, and Freebird when he gets back online perhaps tonight. I kinda like Chickenhawk....it really made me laugh when thought of it BTW buddy.....have a great day

Bigger is better in this instance, 12" wheels will spin less for the same amount of speed than the 8" I have towed my homemade trailer with 8" wheels for over 20K before I sold it to Marcarl and I never had issues with it. I pulled it @ 80 mph regularly. I put bearing buddies in it so I could shoot grease in them before a long trip....the weight rating on the 8" tires should be way overkill for how much weight you'll actually haul in that thing. Buy the trailer and use it, you'll be fine
-
I have been fortunate that I can spell pretty good, Mom worked with me @ a young age and I actually retained a lot of it. I still have my off days when I spell like a caveman

The '86 up trunk is bolted directly onto the rack, so the '87 is the same thing. The '85 trunk, although it looks the same attaches differently as I believe it is removable like the other 1200 MKI's. I know some of our boys with the '85 will correct me if I'm wrong

You ain't just whistling dixie there brudder!
-
From a liability standpoint your second statement rings true, it's not "designed" for that. The 1st part....there are a LOT of dumb people who pretend to know what they are doing and shouldn't be touching anything. I'd be willing to wager that 90% of the people that do work on tires have never seen a tire blow up. If they did, they would NEVER put that much air in them. I hope you get some sort of resolution out of it all.
-
I hate to say this, but I doubt either will honor it. @ 80 psi, it exceeded the recommended air pressure for seating and I can't believe they will replace it. I know guys have talked about seating these tires with 75 to 110 lbs of pressure, that is nuts! I have never used that much pressure to mount any tire in my life. If it doesn't seat after about 55 lbs, let the air out and break it down and re lube it, try again and keep doing that as it will stretch the tire. I know others have talked about leaving it set in the sun for a few hours at it will expand from the heat and be easier for it to seat

Just stop by whenever you get a chance, there will be people there from Friday on, and I'm sure the BS will go far into the evenings both Friday and Saturday
-
I was wondering who was going to be the 1st to catch that Great list BTW

Hey Folks, Got a call from the Boss last night. He's in Minisoda at a conference and they have his laptop for upgrades. He wont have it back till more than likely Thursday Evening. So if you need to get ahold of him be paitent as he has no means to communicate with us here. If you have questions for the site contact myself or one of the other Moderators. He apologises for the inconvienence and will get back with everyone as soon as he is able. I kinda like it that he hopefully can relax a bit without worrying about this place
-
That was me Jeff...and you said you were my friend
-
Looking forward to seeing you Perry, if you get the part, bring it and we'll put it on at the house
