    Who is the toyota axle hoarder in the Northern Utah area? Or, should I bother trying to find axles?

    Are they as rare as they seem now? I've been away for a while, and suddenly there's nothing left. :) But, what I am up to is a budget geo tracker toy, and I thought Toyota axles would work well. Only they are hard to find now. I suppose I could try to find a Samurai front axle, and just stay...

    Discount tire still good place to buy tires you will thrash on trails?

    I've been away a few years. 6 or 7. Used to be I would buy tires new at Discount Tire, and they had a pretty good warranty regarding trail damage. $60 or so to replace with new. Is that still the case? Seems like there is a lot of places around now selling brands I've never heard of, and they...

    Budget winch, yea or nay?

    Budget winches, yea or nay? I have a several hundred dollar tracker I am putting together as inexpensive as possible. Doesn't weight much, clearly. But, a 13k winch on amazon is only just under $400 with synthetic rope. Would go on a $75 bumper I bought used, and modified to fit the tracker...

    Friend selling his wrecked taco. Good deal or no?

    My friend had his 1st gen taco TRD rammed in an intersection. I tried to convince him to let me buy it from insurance, because I was looking for a project at the time. It's now winter, and I don't have a proper shop or even driveway space so I am a little less inclined to purchase it at this...

    General Tech Making a gas tank skid for a 4x4 van, how thick?

    My tank is very vulnerable, being in the middle of the van, and slightly below the frame in some places. It's about 52" long, and 24" wide. Since this isn't a rock bashing vehicle, but more of a backcountry sleeper/gear hauler/family trip vehicle, I am planning to get some sheet metal that's...

    I have been having trouble finding parts for my Nissan, er, truck, van, thing. I am used to Jeep parts, everywhere has them, and stuff from other vehicles fits. Not on this. :rofl: I have been on a search for longer rear shocks, so I can get more travel from the rear. Stock amount of travel = no...

    Wanted Looking for a fabricator to make a winch bumper for new truck

    Aluminess makes one for the Nissan NV, but it's a bit too... much. I am looking to have something more low profile made for this (admittedly already unattractive) panel van. Unlike our other vehicles, this one hasn't been in an accident, and I am hoping to get something that looks professional...

    Wanted: Stock TJ passenger upper control arm, or someone to make me one

    Jeep doesn't pass inspection. Where can I get an LCA bracket, axle side?

    A few years back, I was fooling around in AF canyon, and ripped a control arm apart, and the remaining arm on that side took a beating getting out of the canyon. It mangled the stock bracket so much that it will not accept a control arm in the correct place anymore. It needs to be cut off, and a...

    I need help moving my hardtop to our new house, in Bountiful

    It's located at our old rental, in Woods Cross. I plan to plop it into the bed of the Toyota Tacoma (somehow?) and strap it down. The other option is actually putting it on the Jeep, but I still need to locate a track bar, and I need to do that quickly too. I turned mine into a pretzel over a...
