I know tire shops all say just buy 4, and if you must only run 2 winter tires, to put them on the back, even if it is a FWD car. I would say that is sound advice for non-drivers, the average soccer mom who loves her ABS brakes and isn't well practiced in the art of straightening out a skid...

I have a goal of parking in my garage someday, and that means I need to get rid of a whole bunch of stuff that is currently filling it. Mostly ski gear and off-road parts. A couple of these things (like the GM factory TBI wiring diagram service manual) I am more interested in just getting to a...

I really want to see the eclipse, but all sighns point to an absolute cluster**** on the drive there and back. There has to be some dirt road options that can allow me to go and skip the interstate mess. I have yet to sit down with some maps and really start going over a route, but figured that...

Well I'm finally paying the price for the idiotic decision to buy a hybrid Honda Civic back way back in 2005 (besides the obvious damage it did to to my dignity). Background: The thing still averages 45 mpg just like it did when it was new, and everything in the hybrid system operates...

Many of you in the offroad community are likely familiar with the name Aaron Toone. He was an amazing local fabricator/designer/mechanic that has had his hands on many of the offroad machines here in the area. He passed away this last Saturday while we were drift triking up in Wasatch County...

What's the over/under on the .gov vs. this man?

Drooooooool. A luxurious Mercedes with 5 locking differentials, portals with beadlocks, 37's and CTIS, a twin turbo'd V8 and a seven speed tranny,a factory warranty, and it still has a functional pickup bed...

Well, pirate seems like a place I'm no longer interested in sharing my tech with, so I'm moving the Bible here! Here is a copy/paste of the bulk of the info I've compiled. I'm going to skim through it and grab any additional useful info I see. Enjoy the tech! -Redd The Dana 70...

As always, it's free to come and watch, and we have plenty of open spots for anyone that wants to try their hand at going fast!

Local crawler/racer Carl Nielson placed better than more than half of the racers in KOH 2010! He placed 48th out of 102 racers. I don't have any information on what happened to take him out of the race, but considering that only 5 of 102 people even finished the race, he deserves a huge...

BOR has released the 2010 race schedule! For those of you who were able to participate in last years Wendover 250 in our new 4400 (rockcrawler) class, those who want to race this year, and those of you who want to see some desert racing up close and personal! As always, it's totally free to...

Well, it's not quite 4wd, but it is strictly off-road, so I'm posting the build here to show one of the other kinds of off road vehicles that we work on here, in addition to crawlers and daily driver rigs. MD Motorsports is putting together this single seat class 1600 desert race car for...

VisionX just released an even newer LED light bar. We just got one of the first ones, figured you guys might want to see how bad-a this thing is. Their first generation of LED light bars were called Xmitter iirc. The new generation, which is blindingly bright I might add, is called RefleX...

Bonneville Off-Road Racing is proud to announce that we are now working with JeepSpeed to bring affordable racing to the people in the Northern Utah area! JeepSpeed is a great venue for those of you guys with caged out Jeeps to try your hand at racing. The rules are pretty basic, you must...

Well, really close to Utah at least for now. ;) As you may have heard, Bonneville Off-Road Racing has a new owner, and is in the process of adding a few new classes. For those of you who aren't familiar with Bonneville Off-Road Racing, we are a desert race sanctioning body that has been...

I have deleted the original thread, for I am promised that I will recieve a phone call tonight and the issue will be worked out. I am hoping this action will show the other party involved that I am happy to move on, once the debt is corrected. If it's not, I'm ready to take further steps to...

I decided my little 84 Toy pickup is going to EJS, but I think I'm going to want to gear down the T-case to spin my new 33's. Is there anyone in the valley that stocks them or has a new set they would be willing to sell? I want to leave Wednesday, but I don't want to order them from Marlin...

I have a crazy idea about towing my bare chassis down to Alabama behind my Civic Hybrid, and I'm looking for an uber-light trailer to carry it on. It weighs just over 400 lbs, I'm hoping to find a rediculously light trailer to keep the total hauled weight under 500 or 600 lbs. I'm headed...

:greg: :greg: :greg: I will be building their production chassis. Fawk I'm excited! So does anyone have advise for surviving in the heat and humidity? Oh and it's actually either next week or the week after, I just finally decided maybe I'll tell a few folks, I still haven't...
