KeymasterI did some unmaintained road touring last night. Didn’t even need 4WD. Could have done them in a Corolla. Whatever, still amusing.
here’s my home hardware SST. OD is 2-5/8”. Perfect match for the axle seal. Glued a cap onto it and it was perfect! Prolly didn’t even need the cap.

KeymasterMade a nice table out of a sewing machine base and a piece of live edge Walnut.
After breaking a string last night wailing on my guitar for a couple of hours, I put the table to it’s first use today:
Good deal on strings at L&M – 3 pack of hybrid slinkies for $18.25

KeymasterI now have a vibration in the steering wheel between 80 and 95Kmph. Goes away at 100 Kmph.
I think it might be a tire out of balance. Going to try rotating tires front to back and see if the vibration moves with the tires tomorrow.

ParticipantHopefully just a chunk a frozen debris from your little tour the other day.

KeymasterAh! Good point – I’ll check that out first. Didn’t even think of that!
One time I took her into the dealer for some warranty work after a winter back roads run. They sent me a picture of the undercarriage and said they’d have to let it melt before they could do anything. They actually took it pretty well… I’ll post the picture if I can find it.

ParticipantHaha that’s pretty much encased in ice. Glad they could thaw it in their shop, rather than your own. Prolly picked up a few free ponies by the time it thawed out and got on a diet.
I had to chip and thaw truckee cause I got tired of riding bump stops around. Took a couple hundred pounds of snow off the belly, muuuch faster.

KeymasterI sprayed off the front rims and put some air in the left front tire (forgot it had a slow leak). Vibe is pretty much gone now, but can still see the steering wheel shake a tiny bit occasionally. That’ll do for now… Got a major kitchen reno that I will be starting soon.
