    BX23S Roof Project

    Howdy RWS. I considered blue, or even red. Then I went to my hardware drawers and grabbed split-ring lock washers. They help, but the added thickness took away 1 to 1-1/2 turns of the bolt thread. I also considered buying longer bolts, but the thought and expense has been a debate with my...

    Grab Handle, Cup Holder, and Lever Guide on BX25D Aft Attachment Stripped

    Would RivNuts be a cure? Maybe if a short sleeve was slipped over the RivNut, then done? You might and up having to step-down in fasteners size to make it work. Or, maybe use stainless zip-ties?

    BX23S Roof Project

    Indeed. I've only got $200 invested in it over a two year span, so I figured I'd give it a try. The assembly is pretty straight forward, the way it's all tied together with the brackets, bolts and nuts, I'm skeptical it will remain tight. All the brackets, bolts and nuts also add a LOT of...

    Chainsaw Mount

    It works perfect for my need. However, I'll have to revisit my prototype chainsaw mount, after I get my roof project completed.

    After a year away on this project, I'm back at it. The frame and uprights are UniStrut, aswell as all the brackets that bolt it together. The front supports will be attached to custom aluminum L-Brackets, using the two existing holes in the floor pan, near the foot pedals. Custom lighting mounts...

    The cost of getting old

    I use to install roll-up doors. I learned a lot. How to do it right, and how to do it wrong. The springs, I've done hundreds of windings...on residential. On commercial, and after several installs, I'll pass. If you don't have the "correct" tools, you could be found "mamed in a meme" and...

    2012 BX 25 Looking for the upper ROPS bar.

    If it was originally sold having a ROP, it's odd that it doesn't have one now. Must have been a good price when you bought it. Now the deal sneaks up on you

    B2601 nose suitcase weights? What, where, and how much?

    If, by chance that was an option for you, I could assist by meeting them so they could get them. Within reason of course.
