Good morning folks....

Friday used to mean something....a hot date, off to the desert for some
varmint hunting, hittin' a pub or two...

My Suzuki Samurai has a 1.3L engine (same thing as Jimmy, I believe). It isn't fast, but it will go anywhere!

My neighbor has one that he restored..absolutely mint. My fear was always
that if I got one of those on a side hill, it'd flip and roll down the hill.

They don't make a '92 version, but still a third gen ! I'm still looking for that hood I have the hard to find parts to make it a functional cowl induction. My TBI is the same size as a carb the fuel injected hood versions were non functional.... looks only.

Ho ho ho!

I will be comparing dream mat to my Gold Hog mats next year. It's hard to find any matting as good as the no need to classify....but I do... kick ass mats !!

They look cleverly designed. Swirl and trap by the looks of it!

Yep or "vortex" as I was told from a mining buddy.

Wrong wheelchair fork bearings dammit! Cleaned things up and tried to get some oil past seals. Helped a little,.

The internet is a help or it isn't... Should have known as the article of how to change them the guy used a torch.

I did change out one set of caster bearings with bearings reserved in stock a while.. The other chair in que fasteners won't budge. And the only metric allen wrench I don't have could be it.
Doubt even that is going to work. Will know after I buy one though.

Had a service guy out years ago who stripped heads and I showed him how to drill them out. Once the head was gone screws turned by fingers.
Poor design/engineering choice of fasteners throughout.. Let's act surprised...

Yep that's it.
Years ago a dodgy mining company had left stuff behind when they moved they had left an old Vortex Hydrocone. There was fine sands all around it so me and a mate got a trailer load and put it through our portable sluice. We only got for the trailer load a few grams of gold though and back then its price wasn't worth all the effort taking it to water. Different story now though, now it would be worth it.

I don't even know how its spelt correctly, that's what I recall being told it was.
Looked like a mini grain silo. Sands and gravels put in, it uses water to spin it all around and the concentrates came out the bottom. Again I don't know much about them and it was the first id ever seen one. The entire description was what I was told how it works. I have zero knowledge about that stuff myself.
Looked like one of these small grain silos.
