Dana 60 up front, Ford 9" in the rear. Unless GTii does something. Then I'm having the axles purpose built. lol

 

Old Fords are beasts. My '77 F-250 would go anywhere. The problem is they are just to damn big for most of the trails I do now. lol

 

Mine was janky enough I just straight didn't gaf. use the quarter panel to pivot around a tree if needed. Then at home either bang it out or saw it off depending on what was required lol

 

Portal axles or go home

 

My neighbor's got this beat to shit old troybuilt snowblower he leaves outside between our yards all year long. Drug it into the garage, changed the oil, put some fresh gas in it and off she runs like she hasn't been abused and neglected her entire life. Loud, kinda lopey, and lots of black smoke will come out the first couple uses, but she'll settle in and work great by mid winter.

I think the fuel it got this year has been in the can in my garage for at least 4 years. Gives no fucks. Gave it a little shot of sta-bil just for luck. Didn't even have to use the carb cleaner, just started on the 3rd pull.

 

BTC doing it's rocket thing. Glad I held onto those RIOT calls. lol

 

Pump to get the poors hyped for the coming week, bleed it all week to maintain collateral requirements. Rinse and repeat. Tale as old as time.

Wen regulation, sec?

 

Thats gnarly, hadn’t you just reinforced those buckets?

 

You can see the booger welds, right? He was out there with a couple car batteries in a series and a welding rod I think

 

dang, in his defense it didn’t fail where he reinforced lol

 

Only partly

 

Are your bump stops removed?

 

Nope. Bumps are in good shape and engaging properly.

 

i like the dory

 

My dad and I have a couple of pacific northwest versions of them. Mine on the left, pop's on the right. I too, like the dory.

Unfortunately, I live in the desert, and my boat is stored in the aircraft hanger on my brother's farm.

 

cool.
i watched the dorys surf the beach break and get winched onto rusted trailers on some Oregon beach. watched them bust thru the surf heading out. been a fan ever since.
i'm a fan of the desert.

 

Mine was built in '85. It's all wood construction. Has a motor well, oar stanchions, and a sail. It's a pretty neat dory. My dad's is motor only but has a cuddy cabin. Same builder. His is a 1994 build

 

Having my Sunday night beer down by the beach. Getting ready to lose some more money this week!

 

totally cool on wood build boats. it was 1987 at Pacific City when I stopped to watch the dory. northbound solo bicycle tour. def needed a motor leaving the beach, or surfing in.
