    8.1L Suburban vs 6.0 PSD Excursion

    I've got an 01 Chev Suburb with 8.1 and CNG installed. Pretty sweet burning $.89 / gallon fuel and being able to tow 13000 lbs! I love the 8.1, you definitely lose a lot to the turbos at altitude, but for how much more comfortable, driveable, quiet, and cheaper to maintain it is, I sold my PSD...

    Anyone Got A Metal Brake?

    I need to make a tunnel extension for my snomobile (I know not 4x4 related, but its fab related) and I was wondering if anyone around had a metal brake I could use for 15 minutes. Its 0.060" aluminum which I have CAD designed and pre-cut. Does anyone know anyone around that will do it? Every...

    How Much Snow?

    Took my kx500 to the gate up Farmington Canyon yesterday. There were 3 snowmobiliers loading their sleds up! Anything in the shade still has lots of snow above the gate (around 7500 feet) and the snotel at 8000 feet is reporting 80" of snow still on the ground.

    8 Hours of testing!

    Yeah, the worse part is the hard metal chair. I actually brought in a pillow! Unlike RJmax, I really had one thing come up at work that I couldent do on a piece of scratch paper. I think it all just depends on what kind of engineering job you get!

    Mini-Baja & Building a transmission... from scratch!

    Your mini looks pretty good! I stopped by yesterday on the way to class and saw your black car with the coil-overs and the red car inside with the fox 2.0's. Both look awesome and like you'll be ready to go. I really wanna make one with an 800 sled engine and some paddle tires!

    Moab trip april 7-17

    Tubetoy, I'm heading down tonight and plan on wheeling as much as I can on Sunday. I'll call you and see if we cant meet up. Were going to try to camp at sand flats, but if that doesnt work, then Kens Lake or Potash road are our next stops.

    Moab trip april 7-17

    Probably dont need to state the obviouse about this being easter jeep safari, I was planning on going down and mainly doing a bunch of hiking and biking with a little wheelin' mixed in. I have heard that EJS is a mad house, I dont want to register for the safari either. Will it be completely...

    Cancer Run

    Yeah, same guy, the run is in memory of his mom, she passed when he was your TA. I was a TA at the U the semester before that, and on the mini-baja team the semester before that. We both work together at ATK now, and he led me on to this fundraiser, and I figured i'd give it a shot on the forum.

    Hitch Receiver Dimensions

    I know I know, its a 2" reciever, but I want to make my own rear bumper and bike carrier, and my question is this: Is the 2" dimension the outer dimension of the actualy part that gets pinned in? Is 2" the outer diameter of the part on the bumper? Normally i'd just measure but I need to...

    Best mods under $200?

    Aussie Locker I think aussie lockers are right around $200. My first time out wheeling with a locker was one of the coolest days of my life, literally!

    Cheap Frame Straightening Shop

    Thanks to everyone for the advice. My smart analytical side says not to buy this car, everything else screams that it would be a lot of fun to restore and to drive, but I think i'm going to listen to my analytical side here and probably not go for it.

    Cheap Frame Straightening Shop

    I paid $2500 for the jeep, but would have to pay $800 for shipping. Then, it would need at least a drivers fender, radiator, grill, condensor, and flares. I think I could salvage the hood, and the passenger fender. (I dont mind a little ghetto-ness) I figure $200 for fender, $100 for...

    Cheap Frame Straightening Shop

    Anyone know of a good one around Salt Lake/Davis county? I have no clue how much this costs. I won an auction for a wrecked Jeep TJ and before I bid a guy I called told me the frame was straight. Well, now the guy who actually listed the jeep (different from the guy I talked to at first) says...

    Help! I just bought a junked TJ!

    Thanks for the support! I think its always natural to second guess a little after buying something a little sketchy. I just requested the build sheet from Jeep, a D44 rear would be such a bonus! I havent ever seen a hood fender combo, i'm googling right now!

    Help! I just bought a junked TJ!

    Yeah, I know its kinda sketch buying a trashed car, but I wanted a project. I actually got this on... Ebay. The guy has 205 positive feedback from selling salvage cars. As far as I can tell, he was very honest, you always take a risk but, I just paid $2500 for a 2000 TJ sahara with 75k on it...
