• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

I love my EE Rad guards. Buuut I could not help noticing just how overkill they are and how many square inches of rad they block.
So I yanked them and swiss cheesed them, they lost quite a bit of weight (just by feel). And the air flow is definitely increased the whole outer rad row was blocked by the frame of the guard along with the x portion of the boxed in frame at the rear of the rad. I used a drill press and ran basic centering lines and mostly eyballed my edge distance to maintain good strength with a good amount of large dia holes. May be able to snap a foto or 2,, you guys know Im not a foto person for the most part.
The main reason I use these is for slow speed tip overs onto rocks which crush the rads from the side, the force load strength is basically un compromised with my swiss cheese holes added.
