  1. Looking up those shocks in Canada, they are $242/each.
  2. Thanks. Probably not worth shipping from Canada. There are some local shock guys here I can deal with. At those prices, its probably worth replacing them.
  3. I've got a 2015 ZR9000 LXR and I've never had the shocks serviced because I thought they were non-rebuildable. Anybody know for sure? I've decided to keep the sled as a spare. Maybe its worth throwing some decent shocks on it.
  4. Jones got Bubba'd. He wasn't the only one. I know Wallace is running better but I still don't like him.
  5. He is to blame no question. It was surprising that he couldn't make passes once he got buried back in the pack. Reddick made his back to the top 10 and Bell ran right through the pack to the lead. Up until Hamlin spun, he was a top 5 car.
  6. My Legend 7x23 is now 14 years old and the steel axle mounts ate their way into the aluminum frame. I had the trailer into a welding/fab shop. They cut out the rotten sections of1/8" tube frame and welded in 1/4 plate aluminum. Its all fixed up and looks good. The floor was capped over top of the axle mounts and I told them not to worry about being gentle. I had a rubber sheet flooring that I pulled out before taking it to them. They cut an opening just enough to remove and replace the mount bolts. I'm thinking of replacing the entire floor while its half way apart. This trailer originally had that AdvanTech OSB water proof flooring. Other manu's use products called Dricore and Drymax, etc, all the same stuff. I don't see where I can buy that at a local lumber store. There are some specialty plywood places here and maybe I'll call around a bit to see what they have. Anyone have a recommended product. What about using 3/4" Pressure Treated plywood?
  7. Good win for Bell. Dominate car for the second half of the race. The rest of the top 10 was a mix of good cars and pit strategies. It was a good race until Hamlin spun and everything got messed up.
  8. 2 lbs headed for the grill shortly.
  9. Pretty terrible review when they spend half of it talking about the gauge that they bought from Garmin. The front end sucks, the rear end sucks and the motor is average. Wow.
  10. Still coming to the feeder every night.
  11. Some of these guys get a little too obsessed with the "1 of 1" thing. To me, this isn't a real car. Its a one off show piece of an idea Ford shitcanned for the bigger motor. Its a runt. I get that it's "special" but I wouldn't put any increased marketable value on it.
  12. Around 1700 kms and I’m done for the year. My buddy and I loaded up Thursday morning and drove 8 hours to Kirkland Lake. Rode 80 kms that afternoon. I was feeling sick for a couple days before and it got worse. Halfway from anything I needed to take a crap, immediately if you know what I mean. 2 minutes up the trail I see an outhouse. It was like a beacon of light. Mad dash in the door, even had toilet paper in stock. Major day saver. Rode 300 kms on Friday to Iroquois Fall and back. Saturday, 225 kms down to Elk Lake for lunch and back. 50 degrees when we got back to the hotel Saturday. Some great trails, some bad. But it’s done for this year. Hopefully things are better next winter.
  13. I was a away and forgot about the Pool. I scored 27 points from the 3 last place starters....lol I'm now in 56th. Good to see the rest of you back here with me.
  14. Currently 39 here in Ontario. Going to 65 this afternoon.
