    Changes to trails @ EJS

    I can see the argument. There are a lot of people who register for EJS, and I have been one of them (and will be in the future). My brother flies down from Mass, and we meet a lot of good people (just like whenever you're out on a trail). A lot of people do come from a long way off to have a...

    Little Moab vs. Rattlesnake/Constrictor???

    Little moab and rattlesnake/constrictor are relatively close. You can probably visit both in a day, however, I would suggest doing rattlesnake/constrictor first, then make the 20+ mile trip over to little moab. Little moab is really just several groupings of rocky areas. There is not...

    Control Arm Woes

    I have to disagree. The poly bushings I had on the procomp arms simply didn't last at all. Every time I checked them, they were loose, and I did torque them whenever I found them loose. The bushings were completely hammered when I removed those control arms. I just feel that the poly is not...

    Oops!!!

    too funny! That's why the first thing I do when I have to clean up my truck is get in and start it!

    tj doors on a yj?

    well, if you're talking about soft doors, you can likely make them work. I used YJ soft doors on my TJ by building a YJ type striker pin. I tried to make YJ hard half doors fit on my TJ, but the door would only close to about 4-6" from the striker pin. It probably had something to do with the...

    Stolen XJ

    I think the guy and his grandson should be taken to a remote area in the desert and left there to walk back. After several days (of hopefully painful hiking to get out), they should be found and buried alive.

    Head shaving party this Friday

    It's just hair.....you never know, she might just like it!! However, I hope Carl hasn't led her to believe it is going to be the greatest surprise she's ever seen. If she's expecting {jewelry, nice dinner, fancy undergarments, etc.} and gets a shaved head....would be a bit of a let down!!

    Cheaper R.E. Lift?

    I'd go talk to those guys at Rocklogic. Obviously, the cost depends on exactly how much work you want done, but they built a set of front control arms for me (based on drawings and measurements I provided) at a very reasonable cost. I brought them a bag of parts (RE joints), and I came back a...

    Control Arm Woes

    I"m using the RE long arm on my rig. It seems like the skyjacker stuff is all heim joints, whereas the RE stuff is either the stock rubber bushing (on one end) or the RE ball type bushing (on the other end. Poly control arm bushings are crap. I had the procomp arms on my rig and those poly...

    Santa Throw

    about a half dozen tries: 321.4 Pretty funny to watch him bounce along the ground!! finally got 350.4, but only once or twice. I'm not consistent enough to know if I can do better than that or not.

    Removing a sun rotted tire from a rim

    don't forget to use plenty of lubricant. And I suggest using proper tire lubricant, not soapy water. Myers tire supply sells plenty. Honestly, I wouldn't suggest using rotten tires.

    Head shaving party this Friday

    You know I'm not afraid of shaving my head, however, I need some better reasons for why I should do it again. Who's the one with the bad genes? and what the hell is a 'CD gene' anyway?

    drum brake draging

    If one tire wears one way, and the other tire wears the other way, this really does sound like an alignment issue. It means that the one tire is running toed in most of the time, and the other tire is running toed out most of the time. I'm mostly familiar with 18 wheeler alignments, but...

    drum brake draging

    I still wouldn't rule out the alignment. If the track bar was bad, it could have created other alignment related issues that stuck around after the track bar replacement. when you say the tires are wearing like ****, obviously that isn't good, but can you be more descriptive as to exactly...

    Any interest in local off-road park

    not to mention the potential problems that those future homeowners may cause because they didn't bother to research the area around their new home. I mean, how many times have you heard about a homeowner that wants to close down a (insert whatever here....airport, dump, etc.) that was there...
