I was doing my thinking thing again (yeah I know rare occurrence) and was thinking about how if everyone REALLY wanted to "save the environment" they would ride hybrid motorcycles.

 

Well, then I thought "there ain't no way in heck I am ever putting my fat arse on a two wheeled motor vehicle."

 

That led to a (relatively) light four wheeled vehicle that is capable of getting economy in the same league as a motorcycle.

 

That led to the thought that there aren't any street legal quads (that I know of). They have things like t-rexes, and that can-am contraption, but they still don't have 4 wheels. Another thing that popped into my head is with none of the above do you have any real off road prowess.

 

So to sum it all up, I guess my question is do you think it would be a good idea to create a street legal quad, that could still hang on some moderate trails?

 

EDIT: To make this topic less biased, I'm null voting.

 

NOTE: I'm not asking if you would buy one just if you would consider buying one.

I thought the "YES!!!(5/5)" meant we'd get tired of your posts!

Same here.

 

I would buy a street legal 4x4 ATV in a heartbeat though...

are you serious?

 

The topic is "More of BJD3's Randomness". Can't exactly say I'm serious as a heart attack, but yes, this is a serious question.

Your crazy. I don't think it would go over very well. I think if they were to become street legal, we would have another breed of crotch rocket idiots on our hands.

I vote that we start a poll to get the admins to make it so BJD can't start anymore stinkin' polls! :cheers:

 

Put me down for a "Yes" on that poll. :seeya:

 

BTW, I already have a street legal ATV. :(

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.
