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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Please give a feedback how resistant it is on the wheels. Had the same idea, but wanted to leave out the spokes an the hub.
Maybe in Winter time, when i mounted my set of TE wheels on my SM.
I have done this to my 93 mr2 and my 02 ford ranger, kept for over a year in and out of car washes, power washing... Now if you are going to beat it up, it may not hold as well as on a supermoto that's more road than off-road. Don't get me wrong, I like the look of the polished wheels but either the previous owner or the one before (I am the 3rd owner) stained the wheels with something. Eventually I will re-polish the wheels and re-plasti dip to protect them. I may go to a different color next time on the hub and spokes.
I have use plasti dip on a lot of stuff that I wanted to try a new look and if I don't like it or change my mind in the future I can just peel it off. It all comes down to the prep work. I first tried to do the rim only and it was a nightmare. So plasti dip everything. And I kinda like the all blacked out look.
