    Thanks, I appreciate that. I know how you’re feeling at the few weeks, sorry for your loss as well. It’s rough. Thanks for checking out the thread. More to come.

    Black or Gray Mats on Pewter Interior?

    I agree, if it won’t match then contrast it is. I do like my mats to blend with floor color and if it’s a noticeable shade different, it may as well be a different color because it would drive me crazy.

    Running Board Help

    I would put the bolts back in or use shorter bolts just to keep dirt, dust, mud and water out of the cavities. A little anti seize on the threads and even a flat washer with an o-ring between the body panel and flat washer would be worth doing. I do whatever I can to prevent a panel from rotting...

    Last Monday, 4-24 I finally went in for surgery on my foot. They put a hole on each side and put a tube through. One side they went in with a camera and the other with tools and relief cut my tendons. Been 5 days now and it feels like the tendons are balled up just in front of my heal when I...

    Beginning of April I had to do the rear brakes on the Esky. I thought it wasn’t that long ago I just did them but I guess it was in ‘19. Straight forward brake job until I got to the drivers side and the rotor didn’t wanna come off. The parking brake shoe wore a groove into the inside mating...

    It kept me busy though. Both frame rails were rusted through so I replaced them. Chipped and cleaned all the rust scale off everything, cut it out and replaced it or sealed it with rust convertor then coated it with POR15. I boxed in all the “C” channel on the side rails too for added strength.

    Decided to fix some rusty side panels on our EZGO at work and it turned into a complete nightmare project. The more I removed tackling the rust the worse it got.

    This winter we didn’t get much snow here at home. Maybe plowed 2-3 times at work and only twice with the plow I put on my truck. We did get a few cold snaps and had some water lines break at work which was the reason Nick went north before I could leave. Heat trace failure is never a good thing...

    Also did the brakes on the enclosed trailer. I wanted to do this over the summer but with moving the garage and the yard being wet every time we were up, it didn’t happen. I did complete backing plates, shoes, drums, bearings, seals and caps on all 4. This summer the axles will be coming off...

    Before the season started and after the garage was back together I also did some work to the Nytro I bought for Jack and Jess. I replaced some bearings on the rear suspension, put a new set of slides on and replaced the carbides on the skis. The year prior the sled as used by Jack twice, my...

    Nick was gung-** this year, but rightfully so. There were times when I couldn’t get off work until Wednesday and he went up on Monday by himself. A lot has to do with the fact that when we used to ride together in the late 90’s early 2000’s we would always have to pay for lodging. Having a place...

    Season was slow getting started and would snow then warm up and melt. We chased the snow and hood trails all over the state of Wisconsin and into UP of Michigan, even ended up on the border of Minnesota and Wisconsin at one point. We put on about 2000 miles on our sleds and I didn’t even drive...
