i married into a ford focus. it was the worse car ever. my wife bought it new and brakes, tires, and suspension (recall item), were replaced before 30K miles. it stalled out anytime the AC was on. the transmission wouldn't shift anymore at 52K miles, the paint was cracking, and the trunk...

the rear brakes finally wore out after 72K miles. i upgraded the pads to ceramic and kept the rotors in a stock set-up. http://getlost4x4.com/?p=581 a few pictures. old worn out. old pads verses new pads. finished product.

ford and dependable don't really go together.:victory:

i've been watching the build of that ZJ on pirate. very nice, but your welding in sandals and lack eye protection scares me.:Wow1:

i'd like to see how it does in icy uphill stops. stop on a hill covered in ice and see if it will make it up. my QT2 won't do it. i usually just end up spinning the wheels.

thats what i'm looking to do. i think it would be pretty stable with the stock control arm set-up. i've been looking at airbags.

pretty cool vehicles. but that 4 banger would kill me. i need more power! if i was rich and wealthy i would by one of the 40's:smiley_drive:

impressive build. still confused by the whole "green" concept. i still think Global Warming is a Farce. i can't even imagine how much $$ you have in it. congrats on being self sufficient.:snorkel:

I wrote a review of my commander here. http://getlost4x4.com/?p=565 i have really beat the crap out of mine. i maintain it really well as well. my suggestion is to get a 4.7L V8 in the limited trim (2009 and up have the 305 hp motor, everything else has the 235 hp 300 ft-lbs torque). the...

you'll have a hard time removing the winch from the bumper even if its unbolted. your bumper will disintegrate just like steel will rust and turn back into dirt. :coffee:

finally got to get out of the house. i have finals and need a break to clear the mind before this week of school. we went up to Sunlight Basin in Northwestern Wyoming. Nothing very exciting, just a nice day away and some nice scenery. We saw a lot of deer and some elk:elkgrin:

merry christmas to you!:elkgrin:

did you put anything between the winch and the bumper? the steel in the winch will cause the aluminum to oxidize.:Wow1:
