Re: Gray Man, Inc.
I ran down to Moab to ride for a few days. Utah has cheap diesel so I drove the scabby tractor instead of towing the bike behind the Venza. Rode a few hundred miles and managed to avoid injury or breakdowns. https://i.postimg.cc/c41JHNSV/20240416-111953.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/3xpzQdq7/20240418-102...

No. Just giving him a hard time.

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
Here's a bit of a boomerang story. This was originally purchased in 1982 by a high-school friend of my dad, who was later my employer, and years later -- my uncle. Weird stuff happens in small towns when octogenarian widows/widowers remarry. It was sold around 1996 to my brother's best friend to com...

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
Most of the new car transport is done in volume on semis. Most of the hotshot haulers are 1-3 cars. A lot are between dealerships or hauling wrecks to and from insurance auctions.
Seems to be a mixed bag that I see on the road. More Fords and Rams than Duramax, for some reason.

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
Hundred mile shakedown ride on the blue bike. Ebay XT225 engine is A-OK. Extended swingarm has noticeable differences, positive and negative. New Bradley rear shock with the RaceTech emulators is great! Not quite motocross suspension, but waaay better than stock TW. https://i.postimg.cc/prgmt6Jb/202...

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
I might try it as a hail Mary after the reflash. Toyota did have issues with torque converter lockup shudder in later Camrys and Rav4s, but having this problem in a Venza is unusual. The 4-5 flare is wierd too. It only happens with the cruise control set. And even with the cruise set, if I add a lit...

Re: Around Waynos house
I've got a big stack of keystone papers and border bricks that I haven't figured out where to use. That's a lot of work, but the price was right. Should be nice when you get it all finished.

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
Restoration work on the new/old work Venza continues. I replaced the seeping rear axle seals. https://i.postimg.cc/6Q74Tn7P/20240330-152319.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/vHHBcfkv/20240330-152334.jpg Unfortunately, it looks like I'm probably going to be putting a transmission in this thing at some point. ...

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
I've never ridden one. I don't even like riding 4Wheelers at any real speed. I'm paranoid I'd get tangled up with it if I went off the road or tipped over. I've always been much more comfortable on 2 wheels.

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
Another side project... My dad just bought this trike from a buddy that quit riding. I guess that's something that happens when you reach a certain age. The plan is to spiff it up and flip it in the late spring, early summer. It's in pretty decent shape. The rocker boxes seep and the LS airshock lea...

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
100 mile shakedown ride to the lake to test out the refreshed engine. Ran just fine. Easy 50-60mph two-lane twisty asphalt. https://i.postimg.cc/rps8Q8sw/20240320-153901.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/4yBLLTmX/20240320-154050.jpg I'm working the next 2 weeks straight.

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
I know a couple guys that do it but I've never asked how much they make. It's a job, like everything else. If I was 20 years younger and single...maybe. I'm already on the road more than I'd like to be.

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
It's all new territory for me. 90s Chrysler products are pretty crappy and the only reason I bought this thing was the Cummins. It really does run good and I haven't seen any black smoke, so I assume whatever has been done to it is on the conservative side. I need to just put some miles on it to get...

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
I took 6INAROW for a drive today. Actually, this is the first I've really driven it beyond my driveway. Ran to the truck stop and topped it off. Trip to get it home was 18.3mpg running 70. https://i.postimg.cc/fLFsK6NW/20240308-115043.jpg Maybe you guys with more Cummins experience can educate me. I...

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
I stopped by my dad's to see what he was up to and got there just in time to help him wrestle his de-arched rear spring back in. It's about a 2" drop. He may still do a 1" shackle drop on the front. I think it needs just a bit of rake. Maybe it's just right though, since the tires are all the same s...
