    Or before a long ride, you could stuff it with hot dogs. The road side snack is an added bonus!

    If the hotdogs cook in the handlebars, then the handelbars are hooked to the wrong part of the bike ;)

    I was thinking pre cooked. Dunno where the buns go though. But now I'm thinking of converting collector box into some kind of smoker...

    There is this spot under the carbs where one can convieniently safety-wire an aluminum-foil wrapped meal into place....

    I've seen under hood brisket before. Mebbe a small pork n sweet potato packet... damn, I've got a BBQ cookbook with a bunch of foil packet recepies. This joke may turn into a hangout lounge cooking thread! "Meals on wheels!" or something.

    Busy week.. A lot happening at work. Received the reflashed control unit for the tdi/Wrangler swap and voila! Starts and drives first try! Although it's not a bike, I think you guys would get a kick out of this little torque monster! I idled it through the industrial park , shifted to 4th gear and never touched the throttle!!!! Anyway, i finally had the chance to build the vacuum forming table, and tested two thicknesses of acrylic sheet. Success! I'm able to achieve way more definition than necessary for the back half of this airbox design. Now if I could just work up the nuts to start welding on the aluminum I purchased (and those pretty stacks)...... Vacuum table.jpg 1st mold 1.jpg 1st mold 2.jpg 1st mold 3.jpg

    Haven been enthused, and then later disappointed, by the Liberty diesel I am going to encourage/beg you to start a thread in the hangout lounge.

    If someone can guide me through the process of getting pictures from my phones sd card, onto my computer, It would be much easier. As of now, I dumped all my pictures to a folder on my desktop, but there are no icons and the computer did not recognize the specific folders i have them organized in.... I.E. "Wrangler build". I just made an attempt to find them and they are scattered all over the sd card. In the folder on the computer it doesn't even give me thumbnails to look at. I know there's a better way. Any suggestions?

    if you have a google account and a android phone, just open "gallery" on your phone, look for the picture you want, long tap the pic till a menu comes up, go to
    "share", find "google+" and send it to yourself. go to google+ on the pc and set sharing and get a link to the picture.
