Last year space was getting tight in the garage, so I moved some gear up into a shed to make room. I haven't been up there in a while, so I don't know when they disappeared, but it was in the last six months or so, maybe longer. I went up to grab the welder and it was gone. An old large plasma...

I'm back

Deisel conversion legal? I have a friend who's trying to talk me into converting my '96 Land Rover Discovery to a diesel. I am tempted, I am just curious about the legal implications. I don't want to own a vehicle that's "grey area". I live in Utah county, don't know if that makes a difference...

My guess is Santa's sleigh broke down and he needed something he knew would get him back to the North Pole. All joking asside, I woke up this morning to find my '96 discovery gone. My guess is it was my druggie brother or one of his friends, who I know have broken into the garage before and...

I just got the Garage it's Christmas present. A good condition used Le Blond lathe, and a Bridgeport mill. I'm pretty good on Lathes, but haven't had any real experiance on a mill, and am anxious to learn. I took a general machine tooling night class at UVSC several years ago, and ended up with...

After seeing the price of buying storage containers, we've decided to finally just build our shop. We've been working towards this a long time, and are getting excited. Hopefully we will build it come summer, and now just need to figure out the route we want to take. This will just be our...

I've run out of space, and have been considering picking up a C-van storage container or two to help out the situation. I figure 2 20 footers in the back yard, and lined with shelves should do the trick, wish they made a 30' container. ANyways, any of you know a good place to look for them...

Well, the time has come. Buisness is doing too well, and it's time to trade the rover in for a truck. I have some pretty big trailers, and am looking for a diesel dually. The only problem is the ones I've found in my price range have 150,000 + miles on them. If I can sell the rover soon, I can...

Does anyone know if there's a good lab breader in town? I'm looking to get a golden lab, and I do want it to have papers and be from a breeder. I've bought dogs off of neighbors and petstores before, and they always had health problems. I'm willing to pay for a good dog with good breading, I...

Hey guys, I know this isn't exactly 4x4, but also know this is the place to get advice. I have a 34' gooseneck trailer that's just a bit overloaded. I have to take it to Tampa on a job, and before I do I would like to add a third axel. Never have done this before, but it should be pretty...

We tried to get my brother to go into rehab, and he stole the truck and some credit cards and ran. We cancelled the cards, but know he's made purchases in Salt Lake, and in Lehi. The real bummer is I need the truck for work, and we don't want to bring the police in, he's in enough trouble with...

Turned 27 yesterday. was at work, on a location scout up in Heber. Got out a little early, about 5:30, and started for home to enjoy. while passing dear creak the engine started sputtering. Looked down to see the gas gauge drop from half a tank right down to empty, and the engine died. I managed...

I'm on a job that's going to be spending a couple of weeks in upper Canada. I was just informed as to what it will take to get me, my crew, and my equipment in... and may I say what a pain in the a$$. I have to provide a full inventore of trailers and equipment, get it inspected here before I...

http://www.aev-conversions.com/ http://www.ok4wd.com/product.asp?id=653 How would you like to win this truck. I know it's far fetched... but the odds are better than Vegas, so I got a ticket. Plus it's for the firemen, so I can justify it.

Hey guys, I'm helping out BYU film dept. with a short film on the war in Afganistan. The guy that was going to provide the military vehicles for the shoot backed out, and they are now looking for replacements. I've given the producer the information of the guy we did "Saints and Soldiers"...

Every time we're in Salt Lake, we hit Baja Fresh on 53rd and state, kind of a tradition, since it was the only one in Utah, and we were so big on them back home. But last night it was gone. Anyone know if it went out of buisness, or just moved?

I bought the discovery used, and it was already wired for off roading lights, but the previous owner took the lights off before selling it. My question is, which lights am I wired for? A pic is included of the light controle. Thanks, Ryan

Hey Guys, I have an air compressor that's giving me trouble. It suddenly doesn't like to start up, and if it does, it cuts out. It runs fine when the line is open, but the second I close the line to build pressure it has trouble. I first tried replacing the starter solonoid, but didn't do...
