    Is it ok to have a "make light of" thread?

    Everybody of old is gone. Literally nobody is the same, not even any of the peeps that were there when they closed Orem down are still there. Their head “tech” recommended to a former employee to use RTV in place of some tcase gaskets he requested to order, rather than just selling him what he...

    Is it ok to have a "make light of" thread?

    It's been like that for quite a while, I chuckle everytime I see it. I don't know if TrailGear is even aware that they are even advertising there. I've been tempted to email KSL and ask what the deal is. All the cool peeps at LR are long gone, so no point asking there.

    Single axle Samurai trailer

    True that. I also know though, that too heavy of a tongue weight can be just as problematic due to making the front end of the tow rig too light.

    Single axle Samurai trailer

    Thanks! It's pretty heavy duty I think, but I haven't been able to find a 12'-14' single axle trailer with a capacity greater than about 2,000 lbs for any less than several thousand dollars. Seems like all the ones you see for sale have a 3,500 lb axle, and are really flimsy, by the time you...

    Single axle Samurai trailer

    Any trailer pros on here? Want to get some input if so. 13’ deck, 4’ tongue, weighs around 1,000 lbs currently, probably about 1400 all said and done. I followed the 60/40 rule to place my axle. Frame is 3”x3”x1/4” angle, paid like $125 for all of it, so the price was right. Unloaded, the...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Been trying to finish up my Samurai hauler. Finally started to build a ramp today. Current weight is right around 1,000 lbs, probably around 1400 once I add a few more braces to the top rails, and some aluminum decking. Coworker of mine has some old aluminum bleachers I’m getting, and will be...

    Which Winch?

    That’s sick, but for $5400, they could at least figure out a way to cover all those little wires and power bars. At first I figured it was just to show what’s underneath, but then I saw a pic of it mounted up and muddy, looks like it would be easy to rip off one of those little wires, then be...

    Wanted 1.6 16v sidekick/tracker motor

    My friend Tylor who used to work at LowRange had a Swift DOHC with a turbo and micro squirt. It scooted!!

    Wanted 1.6 16v sidekick/tracker motor

    It’s a huge increase from what I hear, but also a ton more work. Trailtoughs “complete” kit really isn’t what they say it is at all. I’m very active on a Suzuki forum and there’s a couple people lately that have done it, and said it’s got great power, but there was lots of little things they...

    Wanted 1.6 16v sidekick/tracker motor

    Specifically a sidekick motor? Because the 16v was available in Geo Trackers as well. There was 2 door 16 valves available as well, starting in at least ‘95. I pulled a 16v from a ‘96 a little while back, but ‘96 is the first year of OBD2. As far as the Suzuki EFI stuff, it’s actually pretty...

    Mach-E motor available in a crate.

    Interesting though is that it is designed specifically for transverse mount. Does make me wonder why they didn't make a longitudinal version that can accept a driveshaft so you could drop it into something older and just use the existing rear drivetrain and a modified driveshaft. There's a...

    Which Winch?

    But if it's true? Which I can totally believe it. He's now the second source that I've heard this from. After the Snap On/Harbor Freight floor jack fiasco, I wouldn't doubt it one bit. Just seems to be how everything goes anymore. over on the Ih8mud forum, Warn industries themselves replied to...

    Cancun, Cabo or??

    Don't drink the tap water, I'm sure you've probably heard that before. When I was in Cancun, I even went as far as to brush my teeth with bottled water, but I was on my honeymoon, and that would've been the worst time to get the runs.

    My mind is blown by the IFS YJ. I feel that you should probably have a thread on here with more engineering stories and pictures!

    Is that the upgraded rack and ends? Because the ends sure don't look any better than stock from here.

    New Cordless Tools

    I’ve heard great things about Makita, they seem to be the go to for a lot of wood worker/finish carpenters. Do they have a square drive impact?
