Hey all! Welcome to the Shredist! I'm Jim and here we'll be doing all things mountain bike and dirt bike related. From ride days, to reviews, to trail building, and hacking things together to support my hobby, this channel is meant to document my growth as a rider and share my family's adventures! My main riding buddies are my wife Sarah, and my trail pup Agnew.
I will be removing my NVG136 transfer case today. This video is exactly what I needed! I'm not doing the NP233C swap.....I'm replacing, bearings, seals, case saver, shift actuator, bushing, etc,. Why? I live in Colorado and this vehicle performs very well in the snow as is! Thanks for the clear and concise instructions!
lol scruffy is a sick name, love Futurama, was my childhood, anyway I got a 1998 Astro (same year I was born) really appreciate you making these videos, it's been a rocky road so far, tis my third van xD other two were write offs
Thanks. I was a mechanic for decades and hands were injured. They easily hurt. Docs were saying it is in my head and I can’t keep working… fools. I can’t regardless if I want to. I would like to save this video link that shows a search on the surface of what we need as a mechanic, hand wise. I used garden rubber pads 100% of the time when getting up and down and knees are still good. I wore cheepo gloves and fingers get use to touch through them. I hope this helps. Pat
On your Troybilt tiller the bolt on the shift handle needs to be tightened up a bit if it’s moving on its own and dropping into reverse! Also the spring that keeps the reverse from contacting the pulley is likely missing or weak!
I recently ser the Spire alloy with a Dvo Jade X as well! How much do you weigh? How many pounds spring are you riding and what is the bladder pressure you use? Please let me know. I am a bit lost and struggle to get it right.
Idiots at GM that thought welding thier doors to the vehicle is a good idea (all thier vans are the same) should be made to watch this...for those of us that do not have a welder it's an issue.
The “Pulaski” in this video is actually a cutter mattock. Pulaskis have a smaller hoe coupled with an true axe blade opposite. Pulaskis are also distinguished by using a narrow axe handle, whereas the mattock has a thicker rounded handle.
Your Pawlowski is weird! I have a regular axhead with a 2 inch wide Mattoc that’s about 3 inches long. That Matic looks more like what you see on a pic Mattoc.
Now up in North Idaho theres a trail named ExtraTerrestrial and it's a great black diamondback jump flow trail which is a lot of fun. Just thought I would give a suggestion since you where talking about there not being many trails like Mohawk in North Idaho
.22 caliber ramshot pops the pins out. Seen a guy on RU-vid do it. It works. I did my express van doors and am now doing my rear safari doors. Leaves paint untouched. ✌️🇺🇸
Hi Mr. Shreddist. I just purchased a 2005 Astro and I'm glad it is an Astro, because I'm absolutely over the moon with it. I do need to change out the headlights, though. Would you recommend me a good set to use? I saw the ones in your video required a bit of finagling.
