    Spill kits: Do you have one? What's in it?

    After this last weekends trip in Moab, someone had a vanagon get a coolant hose stuck on a rock and yank it off, dumping coolant all over slickrock. They were able to cover it with sand to keep desert animals from licking it, but it seems there are better ways to clean it up. I've seen some...

    For Sale - Best Offer 8" FOA reservoir shocks

    I have a set of 4, 8" (22 inch eye to eye) reservoir shocks from FOA. I've been running them in the rear for a while but decided the control arms in the front will need to be modified too much so I'm going to switch to a non reservoir, custom valved Bilstein 6100 in front and custom valved...

    Bull/Roo bar safety and tech...

    I am planning on building a new front bumper and love the look and utility of a traditional Aussie roo bar, very similar to this: Now the vanagon is a fairly safe vehicle considering you are sitting inches away from the front of the vehicle...

    Think I need another, non-westy syncro to do this

    Or if someone makes them in town that's good too! But looking for some short ones, Probably 8-12 inches long eye to eye. I haven't measured exactly what I need yet but they will be adjusted with clevis pins and mounts welded on so I have some room to play with.

    New here, with an AWD Volkswagen...

    I've read threads on this forum before but I guess never registered. The recent ExPo post about the AF canyon recovery brought me back and I'd like to get into some more off roading, so I'm hopefully going to make it to the event in a couple weekends! I drive this big gold brick: You can read...
