Truck Looks great man. I like it better with the cap off.

x2 on the Black hills. I have yet to make it up there since we moved out this way.

Lots of beautiful place from South Dakota, through Wyoming and into Utah!


So, I didn't make much progress on getting the bike running yet today because I was busy figuring out paying taxes, late fees, license and registration etc. But after a long run about my title is officially in the mail and I have my license and registration in hand!

It is almost running, then come the mods

You think your yota gets good mpg wait til ya see what the yamaha gets!!

BuzzardsGottaEat

Oh I know what it gets. I was getting 75+ the two summers I rode it and expect 85+ after I put on street tread, lower it and regear for the road

This one gets about 46 at 75mph bags loaded down with the ol lady on the back.

If I ever do upgrade it will be an enduro adventurer that I can comfortably cruise on as well as hit some pretty rough trails and explore BUT that is highly unlikely for me since I have a messed up spine and hands to say the least . . . I'm just fixing the bike up now because I don't know how long I'll even be riding anymore

I hear you there man. I used to have a Husky TE610. Was ok on the street and pretty good in the dirt. But definitely would tear your butt up, literally, if ridden for long periods of time. I just could never find a good balance between comfortable on the street and good off road. I have come to the conclusion that I would rather have it perform off road rather than on. So my next enduro/adv bike will be a KTM 525, 530, or 500. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPP

riding is fun but sometimes hard on the ol body.

Have you ever considered a KLR 650. They're pretty capable off road and people have ridden them from Alaska to the tip of South America and all over in between. Cheap man's adventure bike!

I trimmed my XT's front fender today


I drew in the new lines pretty similar to the old, but right how I wanted them:


Here's the rough cut before filing it down nice and smooth:


Stocker profile . . . derp:


Rough cut, before final shaping and filing:


I liked the stock shape and wanted to keep that widest point so I just bent some lines to make it work and look the way I pictured it in my head.

Here's the final product :

This is what I would love to own and ride

Nice looking truck. I noticed you used the 11" 100# springs for your zuk mod; have you been happy with them? I'm going to do the mod on my 93 xtra cab with a leer cap (sits about 1" low even with new springs) and can't decide between 100 or 125# springs. Thanks.
