    Novice/Beginner - I want to hit up some basic trails, but need a leader with patience

    I look forward to the class... I'm going to go to some driving seminars at Overland Expo this year as well. And here's a picture of my Rig from Fall of last year up in the sawtooths near Sun Valley.

    Novice/Beginner - I want to hit up some basic trails, but need a leader with patience

    For the class I'm in! I recently finished up the RespectedAccess.org website for Treadlightly... I'm a big outdoorsman so I'm all about Tread Lightly and conservation. I know I could get a few more people for the class. How many people would you need to pull the trigger? I'd could start...

    Novice/Beginner - I want to hit up some basic trails, but need a leader with patience

    Thanks guys! I saw there was a few people going to Little Moab today... If I had seen that post a bit sooner I would have worked it out. I've read a few 'driving offroad' books, but they just give theory, the theory I'm comfortable with, it's the real world experience that I need. A book can't...

    Novice/Beginner - I want to hit up some basic trails, but need a leader with patience

    Tie Rod Boots - keep loosing them. Only one side, one end.

    I am using washers on both sides(actually supplied wit the kit)... I'm guessing that the taper has been compromised as you say. It took a pitman arm puller to release the arm last time I replaced it, so it was really able to get wedged in there. Any corrective measures short of replacing the...

    Tie Rod Boots - keep loosing them. Only one side, one end.

    Thanks for the tips! These are HD Tie Rod with Moog Problem Solver Rod ends. The other side has no issues, but this side does. The Tie Rods came from Independent4X.com. Any suggestions on making these work? Or where I can [locally] get rod ends, and make sure they're the proper size?

    Tie Rod Boots - keep loosing them. Only one side, one end.

    So I keep loosing tie rod boots every time I go out. I've lost 1 Black Urethane boot, one Rubber Boot, and now a Red Urethane boot (energy) I'm not sure what is making it happen, I don't seem to have any sharp or rough edges. Any suggestions? I'm tired of replacing them. Here's an...

    Summit Machine June '08 Run - AF Canyon, Forest Lake

    Wish I would have made it... Wish I would have made it :( That looks awesome... How was the trail? is it a 4-lo low gear trail? occasional obstacles or a few scatter obstacles? I had radio trouble and didn't get on the road until 11:00 (ogden) so I ended up picking up my Nephew and we...

    Summit Machine June '08 Run - AF Canyon, Forest Lake

    I'm going to be doing a trail up American Fork Canyon the 19th of July... But I'm not sure what trail we're doing... Will my vehicle make it? Isuzu Vehicross 33" tires, LSD rear, and open front. And I'm a novice driver who might need baby sitting.

    Cool... I'll have to check it out... What ever happened to JohnG? There are bazillions of ZR2s on the road, when we were into our rigs (99-2003) they were still "new" Now a days you can pick up a truck for $2500 and a Blazer for a little more. So you've got everyone from Boy offroad racer...
