    longarm/math gurus?

    I'm stuck in Kalamazoo MI on business:smilies27 I'll post some pics when I get home. I have only seen a rustys and this BDS but the BDS is really well made and was a breeze to install:bowdown:

    longarm/math gurus?

    Yes both the upper and lowers are adjustable, that makes sense, as long as caster and pinion are okay then who cares how long the arms are. The steering doesn't bind and we did bushwacker cut out flares so the the wheel can sit a little forward with no issue. I ended up with 33 lowers and 28...

    I put a 6.5" BDS longarm kit on my buddies Cherokee this weekend. We used 8" skyjacker springs. The kit called for 32 3/4 lowers and 28 3/8 uppers. Does anyone know how to calculate the correct length of the arms with the 8" coils rahter than 6.5?

    etrex vs. laptop issues

    I just bought a etrex legend with pc cable. I connected it to a crappy laptop running NG backroads explorer. It worked fine for a day. I accidently un plugged the laptop and the battery went dead. Now the etrex will not acquire satalites. Coincidence? or does the etrex get power from the...

    If someone gobbles that up try this guy. I just bought that winch 2 weeks ago from a shop for that price. Give Barry at www.truckstuffandmore.com a call, 814-357-8142. I know he has 2-3 more sitting in inventory to move. It is a nice winch.

    Post your camping / gear lists!

    These lists are great, I read one that said "brush", I'm thinking does he mean tooth brush, wisk broom, what??? Then I realized that having a buzz cut and loosing hair for the past 15 years, that I don't own a comb or brush anymore:oops: I love the check list idea, keep them coming

    2nd Monongahela WV, 8/24 - 8/27/07

    I just started following this website a few weeks ago, but I've done a ton of camping and caving all over the Mon Nat' forest. I'd like to do some more with like minded folks. That's along way for my jeep but my dd truck should be up to it. I'll try and post more this summer to convince all...

    homemade winch plate bumper

    I like to hack stuff together myself, I figure I can screw it up 2-3 time before I reach the cost of store bought:chef: You threw me, we haven't have a rodeo since 94, the other truck in the garage is my wife's xterra. I did put 31s on it but it only goes offroad when she's putting on make up

    GW build up

    You picked an odd screen name:beer: What front axle are you using? I put a waggy front axle spring over in my YJ, the high steer stuff is an expensive pain in the neck. Do you have any pictures?

    homemade winch plate bumper

    I'm new here so I don't know if your guys are interested in homemade junk but here's mine. I made a new bumper/winch plate. I actually bought a riser winch plate from AtoZ Fabrication but it was way too tall so it had to go. I can't wait to blow a bead or get stuck:roost: The plate is...

    Reliability of Jeep 4L

    I just killed a 230K 4.0 last year by inhaling some water. If I hadn't, I'm sure it would still be running strong, it didn't smoke or use oil. It had a little noise from the valve train.

    7.5 minute resolution topo software?

    Howard- thanks for the detailed response. I should have been more clear, I'm looking for a product in box, I don't want to download anything unless absolutely necessary. Embarrassingly, I'm still a dial-up nerd. I'm not sure I want aerial photos either, what I'm hoping to find is a map on a...

    7.5 minute resolution topo software?

    I hope this isn't a repost, I tried seaching 7.5 to no avail. Do you guys know of any topo software that goes to 7.5 minute resolution? I am looking for the e-equivalent of the USGS 7.5 minute paper maps. I'd also like it to be compatabile with some kind of gps antenna/laptop combo. I have...

    Backup/reverse lights: thoughts?

    I have a single round driving light mounted inside my spare tire facing backward. My spare is on a swingout tire carrier. I made a simple "L" shaped bracket, it is held on by the bottom lug nut. I have a disconnect on the wire for when I need to take the spare off. The light is well...
