I have a little used distributor cap, Coil, and wire set for sale, the cap has a little over 6 months of use by me before I upgraded to EI's Civi ignition, the coil and wires are asumed to be a bit older but who really knows when parts were changed out on these trucks and what kind of milage they ...

Paul,

Great choice in tires, I am on my 3rd set and love them (265/80R16's), cost a lot less than wrangler mtr's or BFG's and so much more traction, 2 weeks ago I was sent out on a vehicle rescue by the forest service, it was a 09 GMC 3500 lifted with huge tires and weighing over 8,000lbs stuck in ...

You mean that little dusting they got back there, I never heard so much bellyaching about 36" of snow in all my life, we beat their snowfall by more than 2 feet, had all roads into and out of the valley closed with either avalanches or clogged with stuck/wrecked cars and trucks, our chain ...

Erik,

Duran, makes Gold Mountain Jeep Trail ( the one Jim took you on last year) feel like a paved road, I can say that cause I did GMJT almost every weekend last winter as all other trails in Big Bear had over 6 feet of snow on them, The water fall on Duran, where you see my truck making it on ...

While Jim is totally right on as usual, I did reinvent the wheel, after installing 3 different factory brake switches, I got tired of the brake lights not comming on unless I pounded the pedal into the floor, so I got a contact switch and fabed up a small bracket and mounted it to the pedal mounting ...

I took my 712m in the day after I bought it to get it weighed, and it came to exactly 5000 lbs, the guy at the weigh station said he had never had a vehicle weigh an excat even number like that so he had me drive off and back on the scale, 5000 lbs again, no accessories like I now have, bare bones ...

I took the tubes out with the malyoas and run with out them on my TSL's, only lost a bead once at a very steep angle with about 12 passengers on board, didnt have a can or lighter fluid to re seat it so had to swap it with the spare.

Michael,

I've done the air down to get into the garage too, took all 6 down to less than 3, I think, well the tire guage didnt register any pressure at all, drove in and my antenna mount cleared the opening by 1/4 inch, I did refill all tires to about 25psi while I left it in the garage while on a ...

Ed,

Jim is right on, I seem to remember on a outing up to Deep Creek, Bernhard was down around 15psi or so and rolled a bead on one of his tires, I for one never go below 20psi and thats on stock rims, running super swamper TSL radials, though last Janurary I did roll a bead but I had 12 in the ...

well has anybody looked close at this picture, I am still trying to figure out why a come-along is doing behind the front wheel and what is it holding together, maybe it's that new fangeled adjustable suspension we hear so much about, hop out and give it a pull ot two to lower the ride.......

Hey everybody, I was in Quartzite, Az over the weekend and saw this awsome 4x4 and thought maybe I should trade my pinz for it, what do you think.....

M Wherman,


I saw this in Quartzite over the weekend and though what a great paint scheme for my motorhome and remembered you suggested paint as it clashes with the pinz, when I got home and showed the pics and asked if we could paint our like the she said "NO not even dont even think about it" but ...

Michael,

Well we are making it happen too, Grage sale and an Estate sale ar being planned as we speak, the house is going up at a FIRE SALE price, properties in Colorado are being looked at and considered, and does it ever make us feel good, almost out of the most taxed state in the nation, will we ...

I think reguardless of weather or not it's legeal to flat to with out a break system, logic should tell you that you don't want any vehicle your towing to break away and not be able to stop it, I for one know that my land rover that I flat tow has a evenbrake brake system installed, (not cheap over ...

Desert Cat,
