    Blackbear has made some changes

    That would certainly suck if you guys were not. Any company compromising its integrity in the pursuit of greed will eventually pay the price. When you signed on with them, I consider that a 'handshake' deal. I do hope they do the right thing.

    Best place to get power for driving lights?

    I can identify with everything you wrote, especially regarding the bad habits, such as rent, electricity, etc. I knew that I had a harness kickin' around that I wanted to send you, and I found it this morning. Unfortunately, it's a plug and play H4 harness from one of my bikes that really...

    What should I add in during a rebuild?

    I'm surely not laughing at your post....just the 'moron' part. Certain words can be reported and taken off the idiotic censor list. A moderator can help... df2x4 kennythewelder

    Spyder headlamps.....my take on 'em...and LIGHTING in general

    Hell...I just saw this. I never much liked the WT grills on these, hence why I started this thread. Over the years they have grown on me, but it's on a case-by-case basis, lol. The red one in the picture is one from the internet, not mine. That truck would benefit from white steelies and dog...

    3500hd section

    God...I remember when those under-lifts first came on the scene. Hell, I remember the first cradle-style wheel lifts from way back when. We mostly used WeldBuilt, as they were on the same island as us. My '71 White had a Holmes 750, though; it was the only Holmes we had.

    Found something that I thought they gave up selling.. Good old fashioned print magazine

    I would look forward to that....and 'libations of choice' is what makes the world go round. ... and oh, I didn't forget that paper. I just can't find the full-length version, only the mislabeled shortened (to meet the page count) submission. I'll send that one. I need a personal assistant.

    Man....we have to chit-chat, for a few days, over some coffee one day. Beneath the humor, there is something that will be extinct soon enough for sure....when we're gone.

    I found this on a forum I check in on...thought it could help some better understand the reality of those stupid things in reflector housings so far. It may happen, just not now. https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/osram-street-legal-led-headlight-bulbs.482116/post-5529650

    Found something that I thought they gave up selling.. Good old fashioned print magazine

    Only two decades old...cool. I just googled this magazine...and I remember the cover. It was around the last year of my subscription. I believe 1986 was; I started in '78 or '79.

    Ahh...the ol' 4X4 and survival/knife/gun rags of the mid-70s....then it was hotrod Harleys. Somewhere, I have some boxes full of the mags I wanted to reference....and it was Sabbath and Rainbow....no mullet.

    Low beam headlight upgrade. Options?

    Man...I spent so much time over a couple of decades riding VT. It surely is one of my favorite states as far as geography goes. My ex's parents had a house in Waitesfield/Warren. And heading east on the 'Kanc' is fantastic.
