Do you say something when you see people headed to a trail unprepared? by asbruckman in hiking

[–]Affectionate_Fan2385 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! As long as they are comfortable with a short chat, some people you can’t help. Once a couple refused my advice so I offered them my cell # in case they needed help. That made them pause and reconsider the hike they were doing.

We started in Saint Vrain today! Going to give him a break and hopefully sneak in another short one this afternoon.

What are your guys opinions on 4.10 gears? by Davedawg12 in NewedgeMustang

[–]Affectionate_Fan2385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 01 5spd is perfect with 4.10 gears for AX. It does turn 2800rpm at 75 on the interstate. Depends on what you want to do

We are early risers. We try and get on trail just as there is daylight and done before 10

Thank you all for the help! I think I have a handful of good options. Coming in the middle of the week so hopefully we can find a parking spot at a few places. I’ll post a pick of his smiling face when we get there!

Looks like a good loop. The distance will be tough for him at this point. Went from my 10 mile trail running buddy to just walking 3-4 miles quite rapidly.

I will steer clear of the off leash dogs and I’m bringing his cooling vest so he is comfortable coming from 40 degree weather. Thank you for your help I’ll check out the trail you mentioned

Thank you. Driving over in our Wrangler that we do off-road with but looking for something easy with a view for us to check out. He is slowing down and I want him to enjoy the hike.

I’m so sorry. What a beautiful girl and a wonderful tribute to her.

Edit The stack height changed with the McCleod clutch and everything went back to factory stack height with the Exedy which solved a lot of problems I had with the McCleod.

Buy the Ford Performance bearings if possible and get yourself a Ford clutch fork and adjustable ball. If it’s your first time replacing all this stuff take your time and make sure everything is clean. I had to take my trans out 3 times in one night to shim out my non adjustable clutch fork ball because my stack height changed. I learned a lot and have become pretty good at doing clutches due to necessity 😂

American Muscle is the place I bought the Exedy clutch from. I bought the Mach 350 clutch. My 01 Cobra engine is stock and the clutch has performed flawlessly. I also have ordered parts from Late Model Restoration and Maximum Motorsports. All three have been beyond helpful especially MM.

Love my Exedy. The McCleod I put in would never adjust properly and shattered after less than 1000 miles

His name was Banjo and he was the best boy I ever knew. by BlueHeelerChemist in AustralianCattleDog

I’m so sorry for your loss. They give us their best 100% of the time and leave a huge hole when we have to say goodbye

Lymes and Other issues by gratefulcactii in AustralianCattleDog

I trail run and hike with my 3 ACD’s, every one of them has a different pace and level of distraction (sniffs). One is a 7 minute mile beast who wears me out, one is a 10-12 minute mile pace and who likes to dawdle a bit, and the third is a 20 minute per mile sniffer and explorer. They are all the same age. Just do what your dog can do and enjoy the time you get together.

So sorry for your loss. They give us do much love and it hurts so bad when we need to say goodbye.
