Bare with me y'all, I'm no fabricator (wish I was) and the stuff below is not anything particularily amazing but it sure brings me a lot of satisfaction when I'm out in the garage making stuff happen on my buggy that I feel are improvements (w/ my own 2 hands plus a little help as well) Have...

Just wanted to thank Keith again for finding some time for a few little 'fab' items on my buggy. One call to Keith (per Bunk's recommendation) about a week ago and I was able to bring the buggy over to BNS today (a Sunday morning of all days/times) for a perfect pillow block mount and heavy duty...

1989 Chevrolet Blazer. Sounds like I've got at least one or two valves needing adjustment on the passenger side bank (considerable tapping). I'm mechanically inclined and have or will purchase the necessary tools for the job but would like to know if anyone has adjusted valve lash on this...

Thank you wifey. Nifty little set-up that I'll be installing in the buggy. Everything on the face is waterproof...fold-down face for CD and IPOD controls built in as well as aux in for other units. Just thought it was neat looking and ends up being quite functional as well. Terry

As I'm going through the buggy fixin' some stuff, I thought I'd mention a couple of products that I've purchased and installed that I would recommend to anyone that might be considering or need them. 1. Differential cover: Crane High Clearance. Design lives up to the name. Cover structure...

Unfortunately, when I was in the middle of the BYS trail, my transfer case shift cable end snapped off the end of the shift lever. Anyone know where I can purchase cable that would be appropriate for this type of application? Transfer case is an NP231 if that matters. Terry

Anyone have one that's in good condition and live in or around Lynnwood? http://www.autozone.com/images/products/dea/deaa6003003.jpg Particular application: carrier bearing assembly from rear driveshaft of 1986 Toyota 4wd ext cab truck hoping to get a hold of one before i go to Reiter...

Kinda interested in getting this for my NP231 as the driveshaft angle is not really ideal and seemingly very close to binding. Anyone have any experience with JB Conversions products? Thanks Terry

A few folks on Sunday tried to help me track down this obnoxious squeaking/creaking sound in the back of my buggy. It seemed to be coming from the Anti-Rock swaybar bushings but we weren't sure. Anyways, I pulled the arms off the splined ends of what looks like an axle shaft to get a better...

Stoked to have finally got my Jeep back together enough to take it out again. Had to replace the balljoints, re-arch my front leafs (thanks Aalbu brothers), and fix a few other little annoyances. I'll be trying to get to the main lot around 9 or 10am in case anyone will be headin' out there...

I'm in the process of replacing my front leaf springs on the CJ5 due to the passenger side noticably sagging. Is it possible that any of you might know what spring I need to purchase as a direct replacement by utilizing the data below? According to the previous owner, they are lift springs...

Once the knuckle is back in place in the "C", the lower ball joint nut has been tightened and it's time to torque the threaded adjusting sleeve retaining the upper ball joint, I'm not 100% sure what the proper torque value is for the adjusting sleeve. I've installed Spicer ball joints top and...

I'm rebuilding the wheel hub on my Dana 44. I've pulled the inner and outer old races and bearings out so I can replace them with fresh/new units. While I did pick up a race/seal installation tool from Action Autoparts, I quickly realized that the discs included are too small (i.e. the...

Forgive me if this is a "newb"-esque question but...what is the most likely cause of lower ball joint wear? or ball joint wear in general? background info: Dana 44 front axle (Chevy-late 70's I believe). Pass drop, LP w/ 5x5.5 bolt pattern, 15x10" steel wheels (4" bs) and 38" Mickey Thompson...

I've been itching to get back up there to see some action and my bro' has also expressed interest in getting a better understanding of what rock crawling is all about. Anyone running OM on Saturday, May 10th? If so, what time do you expect to be on the trail? I'd really like to show my brother...

In case you haven't seen this...pretty impressive. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=287479 I would love to have the skill and patience required for something like this Enjoy!

Can anyone recommend a shop that does good work? (i.e. clean bends, solid/complete/tight welds, quality hardware) I've used Dan Fast before but was never thrilled with their work (Bellevue location). No offense to anyone who may work for them or know any of their employees personally. Thank...

UPDATED (pg 2 pics): In tank fuel pick-up's for FI SBC Vehicle: 1980 CJ5 Engine: '96 LT1 (mildly tweaked per PO) I've recently scrapped the OEM fuel tank and placed an RCI fuel cell in the back of the Jeep's bed above-board. I was hoping to use the Walbro multi-point fuel pick-up's as they...
