Hi all. Should be there Sunday or Monday are all HDT'ers welcome? would like to stay in the general vicinity. Ron and Kerstin

I've been following this discussion closely because I have a older comfort ride hitch 308. It doesn't have the straps on it so I think it's the older design it was on my truck when I bought it 2 years ago and the gentleman I bought it from had it for 3 years but the hitch could of been used then I just don't know. So I thought I should inspect the hitch to check I lifted it up and sure enough the weld at both ends are cracked. The problem is I can weld up and add some bracing but it has a plastic bushing inside and I don't know how to keep it from melting. any one got a ideal? How do you guys think this should be braced. The one thing I don't like is the pivots for the head are mounted into the sides and that is 1/8 steel I want to make new pins that are longer and weld on blocks on the outside to support that extra length also drill the pins to keep them from walking out I found them coming out already and as thin as it is It wouldn't take much to fall out of the supports. I'll add pictures here and if anyone has a educated ideal how best to reinforce the hitch I would certainly be will to listen. Thanks

Yeah there 2 wee-stroms. I'm going to secure them with a pit-bull trailer restraint system. you just pull in and clip into a retainer on the floor and they say they wont move. I've blown enough fork seals to last me awhile. I'm hoping these are the cats meow. I'm installing this weekend if it comes out good i'll post a picture

Wanted to show some pictures of my motorcycle box fixed up. had box made by Carson trailer just no undercarriage. i think it gonna work great

the clamps you see are mostly for the old heat shields that i reused because i had them. if you look close you can see the weld job on the 2 adapters I welded together to get it to go where I wanted it to. It really wasnt that hard. good luck

and another picture

I made my own adapter to take it from top of frame rail to inside of frame then down and back with a 90 I think I used a 15 degree and a short 90 then a long 90 to go back also used the stack mount to make the mounts

Hopefully this will wet your whistle

I'll take some pictures this weekend if you would like to see them. but I made my weed burner. I used the original vertical bracket and make a pipe to bring the exhaust from the DPF on top of the rail to inside the rail Cut up a 15 deg and a 90 to make it. I'm no where my fuel tanks but there only 100 gallon tanks. I think it came out good and cheap

I just installed my Knoedler air chief and it seems like a nice unit.Cost me about 1k with shipping and I bought the Volvo adapter. But I didnt ask i just assumed but the seat doesnt have a provision for the I shifter. Bob i see you have a I shift how did you mount your shifter? I modified the original bracket and it came out all right but a little rougher than a manufacture solution. Still seems like a good seat Ron

I've used them several times for thousand's of dollars worth of stuff and Dustin who runs the internet store and maybe the inhouse store. has been the greatest. a real pleasure to work with. As a matter of fact I'm getting ready to make a new parts order with him in the next few days. And If you ask real nice he has Volvo hats he might give you.

Use to call running the rack a tune up on a old Detroit diesel 2 stroke they had a rack that moved the injectors in and out for fuel and if you messed up it would run away. We all ways called a tune up on a Cummins running the overheads. Cat too.

Well the rig is all polished up, fueedl up and Saturday morning will get all rolled up.Hope to see everyone Sunday. Chad thanks for putting this on.

Hey Dennis hope to see you guys there Kerstin and I will be there with the new trailer to us and my 630. Chad hope to go to the range too.
