here's to third try of posting this! not sure why my posts aren't saving Well 2020 has been...interesting? But that won't stop my progress! Can't believe it's been another 6 months since my last post :dunno: Here's some late 2019 i forgot to post sorted out the splashback for the laundry...

Long time lurker here! I was always hoping one day this thread would venture into video! Keep it up, I bet you’ll have 100k subscribers within year or two!

Well 2 weeks flew by but sorted out a few things Transmission mounts started Mounted :) Yeah i have a significant shortage of short bolts at the moment :headscrat New years i cooked up a good 10kg+ of meat with friends; 7kg brisket, 2.5kg pork and some chicken. 16 hours smoking and...

Merry Christmas all! Jesus it's only been two months but feels like 4! Dirtbike toolkit had it's first workout recently, got the Berg caught in a barb wire fence a few weeks ago and Pocket knife saved me bigtime!. The wire wrapped so hard around the tyre and swingarm i'm not sure how the tyre...

haha even without a lifetime of money, i'd take a normal wage to ride bikes or rip trophy trucks for a living :bounce:

This thread has been going for 5 years and I’ve only ridden maybe 7 times? Had a dirtbike the entire time. I came across some wisdom in a ted talk or motivation video that’s very relevant here; I didn’t ride because I didn’t have time, I didn’t ride because I didn’t MAKE time. edit:

I know Haha 100% right on the tyre lever situation. Honestly I hate changing tyres with a raging passion, I would seriously consider the cable tie the tube to rim method and ride it out. I’m very much considering a tubliss or mousse setup for the next tyre change to avoid changing tubes...

Yep, that's it from Carbatec. It has a veritas tax to it but the quality is exceptional. Have a look on facebook marketplace for dirtbikes....so cheap these days! :bounce:

Thanks Matias! Update on the Husaberg; installed a new lithium battery, so much better at cranking now. Changed the fuel filter, only 50hrs but sure was dirty Started work on the backboard not bad for my first go at upholstery aaaand done not sure if i posted these before but quite a...

Feels like months since i posted but it's only been 4 weeks :headscrat The wardrobe has been installed (ikea pax) and all drawers + lighting, just needs trim and knobs which haven't arrived yet. Honoured to receive no 56 casting of the 1/2 cup tribute Haven't found an appropriate spot for it...

I wish! but deal has been made it will be worked on till complete after the bedroom is sorted. Ideally I’d love to get onto it ASAP but realistically I’m about 4-6 weeks away from that. Not sure how long the bed will take to complete at this stage

Time for the quarterly update, time flys! Still slogging away at the ensuite/master bedroom situation but almost there. I have friends who seem shocked that it takes so long to renovate room but then you have problems like this.. When you hand over 3.5k to a plumber to sort out a 1.2x3m...

Congrats on new bike day! Looks like a slick rig!

Sorry to hear about your loss Andrew :( Let’s remember Steve this long weekend by doing what he would have wanted of us and him; just a little more QST. His endless positivity and encouragement will always be remembered by past and future GJ’ers Rest In Peace Steve

wow it's been 2 months since last update, seems alot longer but as always, busy on multiple fronts Bit of demo in the master bedroom lately, wardrobe opening being extended for some new built-in's For a long weekend recently the Amarok has received some roadsafe recovery points in...

Few little updates Pan installed with baffle Gave the heads a slight polish/cleanup to smooth out the ports Installed a full set of trunion upgrades, these have a solid bearing for the rockers instead of needle bearings. 100% overkill for my application until i get a cam. Heads on and...

Spent a fair amount of time on the weekend making clearance on the timing cover and oil pump to suit. Once complete, installed fresh seals Rigged up a Balancer install tool, this is a SFI rated powerbond balancer (stock size) Hopefully it's the correct one I'm going to be running this...

Back in action last weekend Rods were good to go by Saturday morning The first insertion! Everything has been perfectly within spec so far The clearance on the last journal was tight but still well within spec Then the problems started! Forgot to get a new camshaft bolt, found a temp...

Alrighty I’m almost back in action Didn’t seem to be enough meat to hone the rods out. The USA shop I bought the rods from agreed to exchange them which was surprising considering I bought them in May last year! But the cost of posting them back was going to be costly. I ended up finding a...

Thanks mercury, didn’t even consider that! I’ll see how thick the bronze bushing is, hopefully enough meat.
