    Anyone from Western PA?

    Not sure if any of you guys are still living in Southwestern PA, But I just moved back into the Area (Westmoreland County) from a 11 year stint in the Midwest, and I would love to start up a club or meet up to wheel with some of you guys. There are quite a bit of places and trails to off road...

    Photobucket Update

    Really disappointed with photobucket as well. I have years and years of photos and builds over on YT and now they are all basically gone. And there's no way I'm paying 400$ a year. I would do 40$ a year......

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    Performed a much needed Oil change. And discovered that after two days of some mild wheeling, I broke a swaybar link, and tore the passenger inner CV boot.

    I've been absent for awhile. But I have certainly been busy. Finished up the rear bumper, and Moved my family 1000 miles back to wheee we are from. Good old Pennsylvania!! I had my runner packed down. Loaded to the max and it averaged 20 mpg's!! Can't believe it. Since we have been here...

    Nice job on the fenderwell tub. I love the new battery box/coolant overflow setup you made. Coming together nicely.

    My Rust Plan - feedback needed

    I would Wire wheel all the heavy rust off and put the POR-15 over it. Multiple light coats and it will hold up for a very long time. Cant help you on the Inside of the frame since I have never done that.

    The one thing that pains me is having to take my vehicle somewhere to get an alignment done. I used to me an alignment Tech back in the early 2000's before I started teaching, So I have a hard time just letting anyone twist onmy front end. And.......An alignment machine is the one piece of...

    Thanks for the compliments man! I am very concerned about smashing the latch in that area. The only reason I chose to use it was because I already had it in hand and did not want to wait to order another one. Im probably going to sleeve the tube and make another T-handle bolt to hold it...

    Could not decide what I wanted to do with the Plate, so I made a quick bracket that I can put in the Hitch portion of the bumper. I used the brake to make a 90 on the top to hold some lights that I can run off my trailer harness.* So glad that this is done and functional. Now on to the...

    OK......... *So after not hearing anything from Comp4x4 for a 12 days, I received a shipping notification in my email saying the part was on its way!! * I am guessing that Comp4x4 is a one man show or something smaller scale and thats why the communication is bad.* All I have to say...

    Hitting some Road blocks with the tire swingout.* I ordered a Torsion style DOM bushing from Ruffstuff and although a great product, it failed miserably for holding the weight of the swingout. It's my own fault for wishful thinking that it would hold the weight when I knew in my head it would...
