• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Rigid Industries Duallys mounted up!

Not sure if it's been covered but I got my Duallys in the other day and was pretty sure they were going on my SW Motech crash bars- but after realizing my cool new lights would be trashed the first time it goes down I had different ideas. Fabbed some mounts off of the top clamp on the fork- added bonus is that the light goes where the bars are pointed! Not wired up yet, but the left side is a 10 degree spot and the right is a 20 degree flood. It was a really easy project and they are super strong. image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

Looks good. Can you post some close up photos of the mounts?
 
I will – but it will be a few days before I'm back at my shop. It really comes down to a simple L bracket… The ones I used just happen to be one eighth inch thick nickel plated steel (spare parts of a machine I had laying around – just needed a little time in the mill to modify)
 
The mounting- as you can see- I'm only using one bolt so we'll see if I need to do anything additional to keep them from moving. I've got plenty of room to pin them in place... Would have done both clamp bolts but seeing as I milled them from some scrap I had around that wasn't possible. image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg
