Update Those of you who have contacted me for the manufacturer contact info, please PM me to let me know if you've actually talked to the guy. You may have to ask his secretary to speak to him directly. You'll need to talk to him (may be more than once) so he knows you're serious about buying...

In (limited) Production Pricing & Ordering Info: Looks like the original builder of these tops will be doing a limited final run of these tops. Get yours before they're gone, "like yesterday is gone!" PM me to get the contact info so you can call him with your order. BTW, the top alone...

Thought this was an interesting example of using a hitch shackle to winch back on the road. To read more about it, click here.

Yes, there is a way. The trail goes through "Devil's Punchbowl". This is the sign at the top of the "interesting" part of the trail: The scribbles in the upper left corner of the lower sign says: "And they mean it!" This is what you'd be going down if you do go down it: The above photo was...

Sounds like your describing the road that goes over Schoffield Pass and does a loop from Crested Butte. If you go to Mt. Crested Butte and take the road CR-317 to Gothic (stop there at the general store/museum and get an ice cream :). Continue through Gothic several miles to Emerald Lake. About...

Others in the Biz Try 4Crawler.com or Sonoran Steel or Shrockworks. Actually, you're close enough to the 'Springs to use Armorology They do beautiful work from what I've seen. Haven't used their services, tho' cause they're just far away enough to make it pain to get down there.

Re: Re: Re: Colorado You would have definitely puckered at the top of Pearl, then. It's pretty tippy and up high on the side of the mountain. If you roll it, you won't stop rolling for about 800 vertical feet. I tried to get the camera as level as possible. It was in the middle of a...

Meant to say TJM or ARB.

Overdrive, Sounds like you know your engine now. Yes, I paid about $3500 to have mine rebuilt with factory parts. It does seem like you got an inferior rebuilt. In addition, your engine probably had to work harder on a daily basis than mine does. I believe the 95s are a bit heavier than my 86...

There's also 4Crawler sliders and Slee Offroad FWIW

My dad has a 2004 Rubi. I can go many places he can't :D :biggrin2: :D But then my rig is modified & his isn't. However, with just lockers front & rear and the same size tires, I'd say it would be a pretty good tradeoff between what one could and the other couldn't. He definitely has a better...

Was that at the mud bog? If so, may have been a good idea to turn around. The bog is fairly deep, but the rock crawling becomes substantially more difficult above there. It would be very challenging for a very experienced driver to get up that with a stock rig. Edit: looking more closely at...

Mine's been running great since March '03. There's a pretty good page at: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jonmarkstewart/cam.htm HTH

SmittyBilt makes some tubular bumpers, front & rear. Fairly lightweight. If you want something heavier, try TJB or ARB. If you want a custom, depending on your location, you could try CBI Offroad Fab or Armorology or Marlin Crawler There are many other options out there. Just can't find the...

So, how well have you maintained your 22RE's??? Who rebuilt the 2nd & 3rd engines? Did you run them (close) to the redline frequently? You must be a glutton for punishment if you're going to put a chevy in. You'll be repairing that constantly!!!:bonk: Mine had 3 miles on it when we took it...
