Very new to all this by any chance could you tell me all the material you purchased and what you had cut off so I can go to my local Home Depot and get it cut. I have an arrow shed and my whole base is gone
For mine, I based it off two and a half full sheets (4x8) of underlayment. I did this to minimize cuts required, only split one of the sheets in half. Then the frame was two 4x4x10 and seven 2x2x8. Of the seven 2x2s I cut 8 inches off 5 of them to go between the 4x4s. Hope this helps.
Clutch still retains all normal operation. Still need it to shift. Still works as a power modulator when off road. Clutch up wheelies still the same. Only difference is that I can come to a stop without using the lever. Makes slow speed moving easier.
Very enjoyable ride. I was looking into Wimer and this was the only video about it. Thanks for sharing a bit about growing up in that area and the ways it shaped your life. Appreciated. God Bless.
That’s a torque multiplier for everyone who doesn’t know what they looking at. Usually like 3:1 so with the cheater bar on the ratchet it’s probably at least 600 ft-lbs on the nut.
Yeah, everyone has gone to line replaceable units. Even in the private sector they'd rather just throw in a whole used unit (of questionable quality) in than rebuild.
This looks like a really cool project. Can't wait to see the final product. Also you look like Sam Hyde, I don't mean that offensively, but the similarity is there.
Check the pump first, it is easiest to get too. You can run a battery straight to it and see if it runs properly. While it is disconnected you can check the harness side, see if there is power and ground present. If not, you'll have to locate and check the fuel pump relay. If I remember right it is under engine cover on the left side in a black box.
We've talked about it, but it leads down a rabbit hole. Cause for the bigger turbo to work well you need a tune, which requires a tuner. Then you need bigger injectors and a better fuel pump, then larger exhaust, and the list goes on.
Wow, felicitaciones, con cuánto amor y dedicación realizaste éste trabajo, muchas gracias por su aporte, saludos desde Argentina. Por favor necesito saber cómo poner a punto los clips superiores e inferiores para lograr una suspensión suave! Desde ya muchas gracias hermano querido!
I am SOOOO happy!!! All I did was put some fresh oil and straighten up the wiring and it fired right up (on the giggle juice of course). Next step it to check the fuel system.
Congratulations! I’m glad you can wrench on your own things now with much smaller and lighter tools than the military mechanical fleet. And let your creative work become reality.
Thanks. It is nice working with smaller stuff. Although, I do have a few friends that have a bunch of military equipment that I help with fairly often. Keeps the skills fresh.
Thanks for the video. I've just lost my left hand's index and middle finger in a snowblower accident and I don't want to change my KTM 1290 SAR for an Africa Twin with DCT. I will definitely get the Rekluse for my bike. Happy to see that there is a good solution to my problem!!!
I’ve been saved by them Myself with 3/4 inch drive sockets for Harley clutch and compensator and multiple farm repairs. Slide hammers etc. too far to a larger vendor or tool salesman. Out here .
I like the styling of that particular model. think it'll fit in with the Brat.. I have yet to retrieve a 99 Impreza that's free to me to.. um.. wow. battery, old gas and at least 2 CVs, 40 miles at a uphill grade. Did I mention free? before roadworthy tech.. But worth it, mad as my friends may think of my 3 years trying to move it.
