I have a Prodigy P3. It works ok. It takes a long time to adjust an empty to loaded trailer which is a problem if you forget since the manual brake only applies up to the set voltage. If it's set low, you won't have a lot of trailer brakes. I commonly lock up the brakes while I'm getting it...

So I am dusting off my old 4runner. It has no straight panels left, so I don't want to spend a bunch a money to fit inside Utah's box. Last it was registered in Utah my tube bumpers were legal. Now they are not. They need to be 4" wide for the width of the vehicle. Any ideas as to what might...

Ideally an old pizza cutter tractor tire or semi tire would be awesome say. Who has one, or knows where I could find one?

I haven't been on in a while, but I had to drop by to post this. It certainly helps my view of Greg Miller... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QbFS3dlzPE&feature=youtu.be I admit I really wanted a cruiser before I settled for a 4runner.

I am considering registering my 4runner as off-road only, the trouble is I don't have a trailer yet. Is it legal to flat tow it if it is registered as off-road?

I am trying to build a cheap version of the costco garage overhead storage. Pic: I was planning on using pillow blocks to retain the rod/tube in the center. These are the cheapest I could find. They are a 'clamshell' type. My concern is that these look a bit weak. I am thinking of...

There are a ton out there: Thueren, Lazarsmith, solid steel and many others. Some use the 3rd gen track bar, some are adjustable, some delete the ball joint, but I have no clue what the advantages/disadvantages are for my setup. I have a 99 2500 That I intend to keep stock height/tires. It...

I posted this elsewhere, but thought I would share here. I am just stoked to finally have a tow rig!!! It all started because my ball joints went bad, so I figured while I was there... Parts list and notes: spindles out of a ball joint (91-98) ford F250-350 with (look for the large lock...

So the Vegas economy sucks even worse Utah so I am coming back to Utah for the time being. I have some bad memories about getting pulled over once a month for some lecture about the 4runner is not legal, no matter how hard I tried to make it comply. That was when it had 35s. Now it has 39s...

I saw a pic of the upper heldorado waterfall that showed it a lot shorter than normal because of the sediment that had buried the bottom from this spring. pics of helldorado and pritchett here. http://s33.photobucket.com/albums/d64/tanzuki/ It got me wondering what else has changed??? A...

Posting for a friend: He is wondering if he can make it in a 2wd suburban. He will have other vehicles to strap if required. This sounded to me a little crazy. Plan B is to rent a 6+ passenger vehicle from the airport here in vegas like a commander etc and do it with that vehicle...

Thought you guys might enjoy a little footage. Hopefully it might inspire some of you to come next year or in between. This is located 30 miles south of mesquite just off I-15. It has mild to wild. The lines I am on are definitely not the most difficult obstacles out there. Had a...

I only made it for part of a trail. These are shots from Arokalypse, except for the last one. I will confess that after filling my cylinders with oil on this obstacle I decided to come back another day. So anybody who wants a tour I have some unfinished business out there. Weather was in the...

little writeup over here http://www.sincity4x4.org/viewtopic.php?t=205 had a blast. I always wanted to know how it stacks up to moab. The trails are in the 4+ category and up. the trails I did were canyons, and I used my low range (10:1) way more than in moab. similar to coyote canyon on...

So I found a good deal on this winch. Of course it is broken, needs a new motor. A quick ebay search tells me a new motor will run me $100 or so. Checked the Warn site and they have exploded views of the winch. doesn't look bad. The question is can I easily replace the motor myself? Or...

Bobby long's real life axle strength testing. (he is a axle parts vendor) This is a post that everyone should read! I'm sure that he will be updating the list to address requests. He has tested some products that the vendors have asked him not to make the results public...

http://www.vv4w.org/humpnbump.asp Put on by Vegas Valley 4-Wheelers I've never been much of an organized run guy, but these guys have some very worthwhile trails to show off. They are a family oriented type club, however when I was with them we had a rollover, and I put my rig on its side...
