smokinjoe

Hi all, been awhile since i been around, i got a new crotch rocket recently and have been devoting most of my time to that, unfortunately with the 3rd vehicle in the garage its getting a bit tight in there, and the wife will be looking for a new car shortly and probably will no longer have the room ...

I have no problem with that. I can't do EVERYTHING myself either ...yet

smokinjoe

just for gee whiz i have 30X9.5 bridgstone dueler A/T's and dont have a rubbing issue, no b/l or tbar crank, stock everything else

smokinjoe

personal opinion, i have upgraded to bilsteins and have no complaint, im not sure what you're looking for in shock but for all practical use the bilsteins are about 1 trillion times better than stock, i drive mine to work and back on a daily basis and have done a little adventuring on the side and t...

4 and out, or did you retire? i am a engine troop by trade, btw how did you get your bike out of the bed? ramps and just kinda roll off with it?

smokinjoe

if an 03 fits i'm pretty sure an 05 would fit, the 04 had a .2 inch longer wheelbase, did you use a canyon dancer to tie it down, and if you dont mind, how did you load it and get it unloaded, did you just ride it down, or back up to something, did you also have to use a bed extender or was it all g...

smokinjoe

Anyone actually done this, i was wanting to try to fit an 05 CBR600RR in the bed, the wheel base is 54.5 in. but thats axle to axle so maybe 72 inches total i'd imagine it would fit but i wanted some input from people that have done it, thanks for anyones help

smokinjoe

welcome

smokinjoe

i used some fishing line and a can of aerosal adehesive remover i got from autozone for 3 bucks, worked great

smokinjoe

HA HA HA... that reminds me, my uncle used to have this old piece of junk VW Beetle that had an awful buzzer that wouldn't shut off until both front seatbelts were fastened. I guess they didn't want anyone driving their cars around alone. Anyway, he always kept the passenger seatbelt buckled behind...

smokinjoe

and completely off topic we are

mine has 3.42's, actually other than looks the ZR5's arent all that great, mine doesnt have a G80 rear end either

smokinjoe

all of this stuff is awesome, ive got alot of new information to think about, i appreciate it all

i've never heard of one of these, would you happen to know where i could find one or a good website to research them?

Does anyone know where I can buy a new ZR5 decal for the side of my bed other than the GM site? Angelique i had this problem too, of trying to find a bed decal and ended up having to pay full price from the dealer of 42 dollars and change, from now on ill gladly pay the 25 bucks from the gm gmparts...

smokinjoe

my hitch came from the dealer so i assum it's a valley

smokinjoe

there is always dykeing the end of the connector and using just the wires

smokinjoe

Why can the bike not be transported on the back? You could fab a ramp that would also slide into the receiver to support the rear of the bike. This way the hitch wouldnot have to take all the weight, and some of it would be transfered to the front where you would need it. to answer your first quest...

smokinjoe

well that will about do it then, 90 for the carrier and about 420 for the bike, what do you mean by weight distributing hitch? i have the gm hitch, which i believe is the same as yours

smokinjoe

it may be on the site but i couldnt locate it, i'm working the wife over into allowing me to get a bike, and i would like to get one of these Mototote i figure it would be easier than and cheaper than a traier big enough to fit a crotch rocket

smokinjoe

i have the access roll up cover looks good but it is not watertight but it does roll up almost completely out of the way and is pretty easy tp install and does lock. its all right and it does fit between the rails

it took me a moment to get it but i smiled afterwords

smokinjoe

im a cheapie when it comes to things like that, i spent like 6 bucks in the gun but i use mobil 1 synthetic grease, then gun works fine, its the grease that i think is important, but i definetley agree with the 18 inch extension, i love mine

smokinjoe

this might sound a little stupid but i know that sometimes when i take off to fast the tire iron behind the rear seat slides around and hits the the inside of the truck, i just out a rubberband on to hold it to the jack and havent any problems since, its not entirely related to your problem, but i t...

smokinjoe

do the self tapping screws go all the way through the truck bed?

smokinjoe

right, right

smokinjoe

i hate to do it but i have to ask the obvious question, why is there an elephant (bullet hole) in your living room(windshield)?

smokinjoe

im a little slow, but what does unlocking the torque convertr do, what is the purpose?

smokinjoe

i know i dont post very often but i thought id throw my 2 cents in on the mtx powered 10 sub box, i ordered it thursday the 15th from crutchfield and paid 449.99 for it, no shipping cost, or tax from crutchfield, it shipped that day and was here on monday with regular ground shipping, i was working ...

smokinjoe

i was looking for an update to see if anyone had bought the powered 10in. mtx sub, im thinking about getting one these and i was just wondering if anyone would relate thier feelings on them, thats is if anyone actually bought one, thanks
joe

smokinjoe

congrats

smokinjoe

or he could of bought a caddy

smokinjoe

smokinjoe

fair enough, my brother is an mp in the corp, i love giving him a hard time

smokinjoe

smokinjoe

disregard then

smokinjoe

im not big on just rims and stuff bit id throw an 18 inch lift on with some 22 inch"spinnas",just for fun

smokinjoe

how tall is he then?

smokinjoe

mine do, mostly the passenger side though because its hardly ever used, havent had any problems w/ the rears

smokinjoe

the one 2bunik did was a nice idea, and you could also easliy add one in the back like that as well if you mounted it on the back of the center console

smokinjoe

I have a feeling that this unfortunate biker may have in fact been....Barch?

sounds like one his escapades.

smokinjoe

looks good, i used the same mounts to mount the surround speakers on my theater system

smokinjoe

i think they all have that accesory power, but its supposed to shut off prior to draing the battery all the dead.i know if you leave the interior lights on its shuts them off after awhile

smokinjoe

HEAR HEAR!!!!!

sorry just had to throw that in there.

smokinjoe

well im not sure if the same applies to all disc brakes but with cars or trucks with rear drums and front pads, the rears give about 70% of your stopping power.like i said though im not sure if the same applies to all disc brakes

smokinjoe

i always look at things this way,if logic says it can be done ill do it, if i do and something isnt working there is a logical reason for it not to work,and then there has to be a way to make it work, or it will never ever work, the laws of physics are against it.sooooooooo what do i mean by all thi...

smokinjoe

i like the wheels....and the..... errr.....uhhh..... frame,looks sharp, bet ya cant wait to uhmm.... push it around or somethin

i think i have the same ladder

smokinjoe

no...... just stupidity

smokinjoe

for the hood hinge if youd like you probably adjust the little rubber stops in the front up or down a little bit to maybe make the hood sit a little differnt, when i put my bug guard on i had to adjust my hood down so it would latch even though its still a pain in the behind to shut it, it not quite...

i got my rhino liner for 250, but i didnt go over the rail though,and they put mine on about a 1/4 of an inch thick, not to mention a nifty little key chain as a free gift, but the wife wanted it done, i didnt it mind it cause ot does prevent rusting and it covers where the bed liner scuffs the bed ...

as they say in the south"preciate ya"

if your not using your factory remotes would you be interested in getting rid of them?

the zr5 appearance package includes roof rack, bed rail, step bars,wheel flares, 5 spoke spectra gray rims,(black accents on chevy,gray accents on gmc)black front and rear bumpers and black grill, notice my avatar has the the black front end,and those nifty little zr5 decals.which are 44 bucks each ...

smokinjoe

those look great, do they come with their own divoce lawyer at the company or do you think they can recommend one w. purchase, i dont think my wife will want to stay married too long if i bought that, i ididnt think those trucks would look that good but i was wrong

smokinjoe

wow 10 inches is a little much for stock tires, even 31's i think will look a little small

smokinjoe

crazyness

smokinjoe

huh thats odd, i know all the chevy ZR5's have black flares, i assumed the gmc's got the same thing.

smokinjoe

perhaps you should inform him that zr5's are only crew cabs and just an appearerance package at that

smokinjoe

that would look....interesting

smokinjoe

bilsteins all the way baby...................

smokinjoe

no but red is usually for emergency services
