Nice work! I've built a few ground up skids, some based off of the T-motion or R-motion race skid. The two things I would look at with your design is motion at the end of the shock stroke and I'd be keeping on the bolt holes in the braclet if ots aluminum.
The shock at the end of its stroke...
Gold is good, but everyone in the industry believes It's getting close to it's peak.
Keep an eye on Uranium. It's been in the dumper for a number of years, but a lot in the industry believe it's on the verge of ramping up significantly. There is a lot of optimism on new projects right now...
I'll give them a try - I've done some local tours of builders already might have to take a trip to Saskatoon and take a look.
For reference, most system I've been looking at (4'w, aluminum framed) seem to average in that $110-120/ft. Looking more at composite decking - handful of options to...
I still have 2 sections of a Hold On sitting behind the cabin that we bought a number of years ago. Great, no maintenance docks, but out lake is shallow enough that with how bouyant they are, they didn't work well for us. I connect both sections together and use them for a floating dock for...
We've decided to look for a new dock for the lake for next year. I'm asking this now as there are some deals to be had on buying something now.
We are looking for a roll out dock system, aluminum, composite/aluminum topped dock system. Needs to be approx 70' long and will only sit in about...
It's unfortunate, but the dealers are somewhat in a no win position. Looking at the ISMA's sales numbers last year, sales were flat, which is good they weren't part of a decreasing trend, but nonetheless, sales are significantly down from where they were 20 years ago.
From...
This is a bizarre time. My Brother in Law decided to look for a Sea Doo. He knows nothing about anything mechanical so I said I would look for him. Nothing new to be found and those who have close to new and have put super low hours on them, believe they are made of gold right now and will...
We had a good day on father's day. We went to a local lake and took the boat out for the afternoon where the little guys were happy to go around and around for a good chunk of the afternoon until I made them try an actual sport that requires skill. My father's day present ended up being a new...
There's alot going on in those patent documents. I would imagine all of the variations of intake tracts are related to any EPA handcuffing that may exist. Polaris has such a spotty track record of new engine designs, I wouldn't want to be an early adopter on this. For those who would...
Is it a infiltrator install?
I help my neighbour with this stuff alot during summer as he's does this type of work regularily. If it's an infiltration field, it should only be in that 24" - 36" depth. But be cautious, slope is important, and I'm sure some who install this could skim the...
Took the dog for a walk yesterday and found a mom fox with her 5 very new kids living in a culvert down the road. We have three kids and I have to hand it to mama fox...she has 5 of them better under control than 2 of us have our 3 kids controlled.
Has an interesting history here. Our hamlet was actually a German Mennonite Colony. Original church from early 1900's is still here, as is the rectory, nuns villa, amd the original school house. I believe shortly after WW2 the hamlet opened up. Few houses were built in the 60's and really...
No, but funny you say that. We do live in a Hamlet that is a former Colony!
I Have a big potato spade for the tractor that rolls them out pretty nice. We don't keep all of them. I think we keep a little less than half. Between us and our neighbour behind us, we have a combined total of about...
One thing to keep in mind, I had a 10 and have a 14, but a 2500. In either 13 or 14, they updated front suspension in the 3500, but I believe it was the 14's. My 14 at 190K has been bulletproof in the front end. Previous Rams I was rebuilding front ends starting at 80K. This one still has...
Be cautious with the tents. When I put mine up ~5 years ago, I did alot of research. You get what you pay for with these. They are all constructed on the slimmest of design safety factors and alot even use the tent as a structural member, because there is really no building code for these...
