That is SICK! Really like it alot! Would definitely suggest a heat guard though so you dont take skin off. I want to do something really simmilar but with a deep water fording stack on my HMMWV
One fuse can cause that as a minimum lol love the video the man fixed the fuse, the squeak camera and lights oh he will have it back together ASAP don't you worry ❤
OMG, this brings back some rough memories. I know that smoke & smell. F250 on the beach in Hatteras by the ferry. Similar scenario & sat & cooked ourselves on the beach, buried the fluid in the sand, Thank God for kids sand shovels. Made it off the beach hours later stopped & got more fluid. Got wasted at the campsite in Rodanthe cause we weren't sure we could tow the trailer home. But car people/car guys just wing it & pray sometimes & the good lord delivers. Thankfully he delivered for you! Yall are R & D for all of us!
Soooooo.... a few times I was flagged down at stop lights on my CBR600 because people would notice the cords on my back tire. I would respond with, thank you, but I know, I still have about a thousand miles left on them. Lol, I would push the limits all because before changing my first tire which had exposed cords, I had done a burnout for 3 minutes and it still didn't pop... So I had faith in those Michelin pilot power tires after that. Also i would run to the cords on my Falken tires on my Camaro. Not smart I know, but I'm sure you made it home safe with those exposed cords.
YUP sounds about right. I find that I usually get around 12mpg's in a weight reduced M1097R1. Edit: I should note that my truck has a higher idling speed since it used to be a Maine National Guard truck and spent more time in the cold. I'm assuming the reason for the higher idling speed is so the truck would heat up faster in winter
My 2.0l 4-cylinder Miata gets on average 20mpg so I'd say that's not too bad lol but those vehicles do need to be updated. Every gas powered international combustion engines (especially commercial cars) can be getting a minimum of 35-45mpg now days with the technology that exists. Direct injection high compression engines. And freevalve technology. The tech exists, it's just not being used bcuz car manufacturers are being controlled by government nonsense
