That's why we switched to #57 smooth river gravel. Looks awesome and never needs replaced. One and done!
That's called weld failure within the "heat affected zone" which is typically caused by lack of proper pre-heating of the base metal prior to welding. The non-preheated base metal draws heat too...
You have to drive long enough periods to get to regen preferably on a daily basis. It’s not so much about towing weight. I had a 2500 Ram Cummins and was driving longer distances every day the first...
Try looking at a van like the Ford Transit Trail. Same base cost as a pickup but way more adaptable to overnight stays. Pickup’s aren’t the end all to vehicles.
As an engineer, I’ve found that states themselves hold most of the blame. They go out of their way to avoid upgrading and or replacing bridges so they can divert federal funds to other projects that...
Do the cast iron thing mentioned above. It turns out great as it adds another layer of flavor. Just make sure you put some good heat on the skillet first so you don’t end up getting a steaming effect...
Good move! I had a friend that switched from a 6" to a 10" Bob's on a 2004 521VX and it really helped both speed and rough-water performance. That boat needs all the bow lift it can get. We fished...

It all started when they decided to not put proper dolphin protection around the abutments back when they built the bridge. Disasters like this are typically the culmination of various bad decisions.
No doubt! You can see the lights of the ship blinking on and off then staying off just the collision.
The 518vx is an awesome rig. I had 2002 and loved it. It has the same front deck as the 520vx and it fishes big. I fished mine primarily on Erie and it was very responsive to the throttle which helps...
The 361 is a much better fishing platform than the 370 series.
I make my own mix. Way better than any box brand.
Have him find his way over to Cleveland Clinic. That place is amazing!
Bake the skin on a cookie sheet line with aluminum foil. Once its crispy, drain off and reserve the fat or "Schmaltz" as its better known as. Excellent fat for home fires!
That’s a bad idea. First they’re adding needless dead load, second, if you do develop a leak in the future you’ll trap water between the the two layers and that’s when your real problems will start....
Its most likely the Merc Racing 250. When I bought my '06 I wanted a Z21 but Merc still wasn't making the standard XS 250. The racing motor only came with a one or two year warranty while the XS had...
The 2005 Z21 had a bit of a hull issue that Ranger addressed in 2006. The bow lift was affected. Make sure he test drives it.
The bottom line is driven people will succeed degree or no degree, and those that don’t like to take risks and pay their dues won’t. I did great w/ my MS in SE engineering. I now own my own company....
you should be good if you keep the clear coat confined to the chip area. Clear coat tends to peel of of existing gel if you're trying to coat the gel coat or feather out into it.
I doubt it. I remember when Denny Brauer tried to have Ranger extend production of the 361-V when they first discontinued it and Ranger replied with a no and hell no. Personally I think it would be...
That's actually how the original Bass Pro Shop store in Springfield MO was set up. My dad and I drove out to pick up one of the first 400 aluminum Bass Tracker boats produce in 1977. The shop was a...
No doubt! There are a LOT of opportunities for out there right now for young adults that make a commitment to a technical education and see it through. I've been an engineer since 1982 and the pay...
If its actually made w/ duck fat, it has to be good. Try cooking home-fries in real duck fat sometime. You'll get a glimpse of what heaven must be like!
