You can also install them behind that sheet metal. It is actually easier to screw them in place. I replaced the one in the drivers door and works great. Thank you for the video!
I think you would want TDC on the compression stroke? I’m thinking an unsealed bearing would be best. There would still be residual oil in the bottom portion of the outer race when shut off?
Thank you Alex. I fractured my patella and needed the surgery and screws. I had the surgery last Friday. I am at week 1. I tripped up the stairs. Devastating... Can you talk a little more about the procedure you had that increased your range of benging? Also, can you tell me what types of alternative pain medicine you used. I do not want the opiods. Thanks again. This is painful.
I think the 20 watt was quite a bit better, I wish you would have went until the HT’s could not heard at all and see how far the 20 watt would go. Thanks for the video…
The issue is where my house is, in a valley with limited roads besides the interstate, I could not go further without being out of range of all of them. But I agree with your comment and I will find a way to do it next time.
I have a Radioddity gm-30 that I'm using in my truck. I finally installed a lip mount on my rear driver side door and a Midland 3db ghost antenna. Simplex is pretty quiet where I live. I'm going to be installing a Radioddity qt80 and a Tram 3500 magnetic mount antenna in a couple of weeks.
Agreed, but the receiving radio was the same for each transmission. Like I said in the video, I'm not trying to demonstrate the number of fars a GMRS radio can transmit, only the differences of these radios in these conditions. Parts of those conditions was the receiving radio was inside a house.
Nice comparison. I think rocker may have something to do with it. I have a Pungo 120 and a Dagger Stratos 14.5. The Pungo has a nice, long, relatively straight keel, whereas the Stratos, whch js only 2.5' longer, has a lot of rocker, so the bow and stern turn up. If i dont out the skeg down, the Stratos doesnt trac well at all, because it's made to be easier to turn. The Pungo tracks loke a dream, and actually glides better. The difference is I cam taje the Stratos into deep, choppy waterz i can take it offshore, and I can roll it in surf. The Pungo has to stay on flatwater. The Stratos will hold more gear, like your Carolina. I'm glad you tested it, because I was wondering the same thing.
Thank you dear.. Its been 30 days for me.. Physio is very painful.. Yes.. I wish everyone here a speedy recoveries n. But to be honest.. I am very scared. Scared as hell.. 😢
im 60 days after surgery and can barely bend my knee. physical therapy office canceled on me. (they say they don't take my insurance, after another worker took down all my info and said for surely they take my health insurance.) Appointment was set 7 days out after i made the phone call. They call me the morning of the appointment and give me this news. That was this morning.. Wasted a whole week that i could of been finding another physical therapy office. ---How is your knee doing? im curious. Your surgery date was real close to mine. -thanks in advance!
Make sure your rear drum brakes are adjusted, and I mean adjusted the “old school” way! The Toyota way is leaving way too much slack in the rear brake shoes, consequently the limited slip can’t activate properly, I drove around for several years with what I considered crappie Tacoma brakes, had poor traction in snow and off road trails, when I did front brake pads the rear shoes always looked new after 90,000 klm, I went to three different Toyota dealers for proper brake adjustment with always the same results, finally took the truck to a long time professional brake service shop, the manager said he sees this all the time with Tacoma’s, improper adjustment on the drums, he told me what they did and it was the same procedure we did since drum brakes have been around, adjust until light drag, go around the block use the brakes, come back and snug them up again until light drag! First light I came to I almost put my wife’s cell phone through the window, yeah brakes worked as they should and I actually noticed the LSD work for the first time since I owned the truck.
And my 23 TRD Off Road has LSD and a locking rear differential with CRAWL control. The thing I hate about LSD is that when one wheel slips and the other wheel grabs, the wheel that grabs will pull the rear end to the side
Just wanted to say thanks for such a quick, but helpful, review of the Pungos. I recently picked up a Pungo 120 and my cruising speed is about the same as what you reported. I had a Necky Looksha 14 touring kayak before the Pungo, similar to a Carolina 14, and I barely notice the slightly lower speeds in the Pungo 120. I may pickup a Pungo 140 sometime, because I've been so impressed with the speed of the 120. Actually when I got the Pungo 120 I figured it would be hellpful for the smaller rivers and creeks nearby, but have found it tracks so well it's actually not as easy to maneuver the creeks as some longer boats without such a pronounced keel.
Thanks for making this video review of your Staton-inc axle mounted kit, albeit 10 years ago. It looks like you had a Tanaka PF4000 40cc 2-stroke engine. I have the same kit and same engine. Do you still have yours?
"Wife or 'slow old man' bike"😂 That's a fun definition! I'm neither and I love my XT250 more than any other bike I had before (I downsized from massive bikes). Great video! Enjoyed the virtual ride with you!
I guess im an old man. I have no desire for more power than the XT250 has to offer. Coming from a Z125 you probably understand why the xt feels like a rocket to me
Realize this is old, but posting for people like me that are just watching. The dr200 has something like 19hp and 13 ft lbs of torque. You confused them in the video.
Thank you for this video. I broke my patella on 2/6/24. I haven’t seen the surgeon yet but they say I have a displaced fracture of my left patella. I couldn’t stand at all for 3 days until I got Dr.Brace support brace on amazon and I stood right up when I put it on. I’m using a walker and getting around pretty good. I’m getting a second opinion about surgery.
Thanks for this video. I am nearly 70 and tripped, shattering my patella. Getting it to bend is no fun - so far I have hit 65 degrees (70 with help). The pain is bad. The doctor is talking about the MUA procedure. I just want my life back. At my first post-surgery appointment, my orthopedic surgeon told me to bend my leg “100 times” per day. The orthopedic brace was uncomfortable, but I tried to do what they told me. It is indeed a journey. Before my accident, I had signed up to join a karate dojo. So my long term goal is to be able to kick and punch again. (I had made it to 1st degree black belt in my 20s.)
To fix the LED hyper flash change the brake and or turn signal relays to LED Compatible ones. You can find them at any auto parts store. I actually heard about them from another RU-vid video😄 but I've done it to both my vehicles and it works! They flash at normal speed and work like before just with brighter LED lights now👍
Thanks for this video. Still are very few about this injury but lots of great comments here. I fell from my bike 11 weeks ago and broke my right patella. Too many pieces to fix so 60% was removed. Quad stretched some to get the tendon reattached to my baby patella. No block as sometimes the nerve is damaged and that can lead to many months of pain. I agree, post op pain was brutal after the first day. After 4 days of narcotics and not getting great pain control but having all the negative effects of the drugs, I went cold turkey and switched to NSAIDs and Tylenol. The first 2 weeks were very painful. At 2 weeks I was at 30* flexing and I pushed hard to get to 90* by week 4. 105* by week 6 and now it seems I’ve been stuck at 130* for a couple weeks. I’ve lost 75% of the muscle in my leg and I can tell this will be a long recovery even if I get full ROM. I took 2-3 Aleve a day for the first 5 weeks and ended up with a hypertensive crisis and renal damage. No real answer as to why as I’ve never had BP issues and was drinking a measured 96oz of water each day. Be careful with the NSAIDs. I’ve taken nothing since week 6. The pain is bad at time and I’ve used ice packs to help control it. So I agree, get some quality ice packs. If you’re unsure what to get, ask any PT. I’ve also found a muscle percussion machine helps to get the muscles loosened up. Mine was $40 and well worth it. I’m disappointed in my recovery so far as I want to be back in skis this winter. It’s a driving goal that everyone says I can do, but green slopes only. With only 8 weeks left this winter I’m really struggling to see how it happens. I can walk without my brace on level ground but only a hundred feet or so. I literally spend 5-6 hours a day working on my leg. Other notes… I was unable to drive for 8 weeks. Plan for that. Sleep has been hard. Some nights as little as 4 hours. I’m averaging 6 hours the past 3 weeks and feel like that’s a new normal. Before the crash I slept 8 hours a night. Showers were a pain the first 2 weeks. I didn’t bother more than 3 times. Foam tape and plastic wrap and a trash bag to be sure. I was told to get a stool but it didn’t work in my shower due to room. I did the high risk one leg shower. This is a rough injury but all these comments help me know I’ll recover “soon”. Thx!
