    Built YJ to trade for 80, Taco Double Cab or DII

    I think you would be better served by selling it and then look for the rig you want not one someone will trade you. Nice Jeep by the way! I also say wheel what you have you would be amazed at how good of an expo vehicle a jeep can make!

    Garmin Nuvi 650

    as far as I know NONE of the Nuvi products do off road/topo at all. I don't think they will load topo maps and you will be dissappointed in the tracking offroad even if they will load them. I would call Garmin to double check though. Garmin products that do offroad navigation are the 276/376...

    Edgestar Fridge/freezer?

    are they made in china? if so they should be $100 not $500! for that little price difference I would stick to a name brand.

    1991 Land Cruiser Turbo Diesel

    make sure you get the bottom end bearings in the motor redone as well. Most reputable importers will be doing them but alot are not. Major problem. I have seen two rigs with that motor where the bearings were near failure when changed.

    Gears and Locker questions

    if your pulling it apart to do gears now is the time for lockers. If you can't afford lockers hold off on the gear install until you can afford them. doing R&P set-ups twice is not that much fun and costs. Setting up an ARB will cost extra over doing a regular R&P set-up because they have the...

    Pondering: Steering Rams

    ah I see! :D if thats the case then Yes I think its a great idea if you have the money. I could not believe the difference in steering control after I added the hydro assist. I went from wandering all over the road to actually being able to keep it in one lane. Yes alot was suspension geometry...

    Pondering: Steering Rams

    for smaller tires theres really no need. If you are having troubles turning 33" tires your toyota pump is probably tired. Its amazing what a new pump will do. I ran a toyota pump with hydro assist and 36" tires and had no troubles. you also should not have much troubles with the stress on the...

    10,000 Pound Winch & accessories at Sam's Club

    I had one of those 8000 lb champion winches. pure junk! I used it a fair amount but on my sidekick so a fairly light load. the motor packed it in and then when I went to pull it off both bolts snapped off in the housing! Nice! so I sold it for parts and am now getting a WARN.
