Here are a few pics from a recent trip to Moab. MyBlazeOfGlory.Blogspot.com:Bull Canyon

I've done a search and read that flat towing with a tow bar requires pulling the rear drive shaft in some cases. I am going to moab and will be attempting to flat tow from camp to the trails. I was wondering if it necessary to pull the rear shaft with a np208 transfer case and a c6 auto...

I am getting a new welder for christmas and wondering what to get. They had me pretty sold on the millermatic 210 mig, but the DVI seems to be a good choice too and it can run on 220 or 110 (and it's cheaper). Any opinions as to the DVI with the dual power option? They recomended not to go to...

I put some 6" add-a-leafs on my rig about 10 years ago when I first started wheeling and have not touched them since. I am thinking about ditching the old rear springs for a set of new skyjackers softrides. How much better will this be and would a 4" spring pack with a shackle reversal get...

A group of us ran 21 road last week. What a fun trail! I ran this trail with a bigger group a few years back, but this time I ran with a smaller group but bigger rigs! One guy ran a suburban with 38's and another ran a 72 f250 with 42's. The f-250 has been bobbed. The burb broke all 3 rear...

Heading down to moab over memorial day, and thinking of heading over to area bfe to check it out. Has anyone explored this area that can give me an idea of what I might find. We may try to run upper, but were wondering what else is in the area and how well organized it is? Is it fenced in or...

I have a rear dana 70 in my garage that I am wondering what to do with. I am currently running a ford 9" with 31 spline currie shafts and a spool, with a dana 44 front with yukon shafts ctm joints and an ox locker. What I am wondering is if the dana 70 is a good upgrade over the 9"? I know a 9"...

I need some new axles and joints for my front dana 44. I keep popping the caps off, then the axles get buggered. I am looking at the warn shafts and the ox joints. Are the ox joints as good as the ctms? How about the superior shafts? How strong would I be as compared to a stock dana 60 if I...

I have a buddy that has a xj with a 4.3 litre chevy vortec. It has an external cage and stock 5 speed manual trans. He has stripped off the axles, transfer case and the front suspension. He wants $500 for what is left. I know the motor is decent, but will the transmission hold up? And if I can...

Does anyone know if ford ever had a front dana 60 with the diamonds on the housing to be used in the radius arm/coil spring setup like the dana 44's on early bronco's?(pre 80) I know I have seen them, but was not sure if this was a stock option or if they have been modified?

What is the best axle and why? I have a dana 70 Rear from a 72 dodge dually(motorhome), free. I know the gears are 4.56 or lower(have not looked inside yet). Or a 14 bolt Rear that I can get for cheap. I am building a buggy with a ford 390 motor, and 38 to 40" tires. So, which axle should I...

So, all of you that went to safari, did you in fact see more police officers than normal? If so, how did they do? And were they pulling over buggies left and right, or were there illegal buggies on the street without problems?

Just a thought since the topic of buggies in moab came up. Are tow bars legal when the towed rig is not street legal? Obviously not the best way to tow your rig, but if a large mud flap of some sort is used on the buggie, with correct lighting, would it be legal? I would assume not, but just...

I have been calling around and all I can find is pipe. Does anyone know where I can get some 2" OD with a .120 wall in the Layton/Ogden area?
