Many of you will remember Walker Evans’ IFS/IRS Rock Spider S10 buggy. It was built around 2003. It was short lived— I don’t know if he even drove it the whole season before going back to solid axles. Turning radius wasn’t great, among other undisclosed issues. It had a very unique...

I’m home from work sick. It’s probably Covid, but only because I’m not sure it’s possible to be sick with anything besides Covid anymore. Bad cold = Covid. Raging diarrhea = Covid. Brain tumor = Covid. Anyway, I’m so bored that I thought I’d write a lengthy post detailing how I ended up with...

So I started this tube chassis build before my now fifteen year old son was born. And I "finished" it last Friday. Of course, nothing is ever really finished, right? Back in the early 2000's, the plan was narrowed Kyosho TwinForce axles, a Losi XXX stadium truck trans, a brushless airplane...

Selling a drill operated tube notcher. Will fit both large and small threaded hole saws on the arbor. Added an extra wing to it so you can notch from both sides. Easily removed with a grinder if you don't like it. Missing the right angle bracket for mounting on drill press table. I found it...

I have a piece of 1.25" x .281 wall DOM tubing that has been threaded on both ends to accept 7/8 rod ends. I think that's 7/8-14, left hand on one side and right hand on the other end. It's 38" long. I was going to use it for a track bar on a project that has long since gone away. Pretty...

I need two pieces turned on a lathe. I'm updating an early 1990's bicycle frame building jig to build modern mountain bikes. I have the materials ready to go. I'm in Utah county. Closer is preferable, but I'll drive to SLC if need be. Not looking for a freebie, I'm just tired of dealing...

Selling an electric cooling fan setup for 88-98 Chevy trucks with the 34" wide by 20" radiator. Should bolt right in with the brackets I made. Bolted into my truck anyway. Uses LT1 Camaro fans with a custom shroud. I put the engine driven fan back in when I decided to sell the truck. Here...

I have a pair of G-Force 3" lap belts up for sale. They are expired and can no longer be used for competition, but are great for recreational use. They are around 60" long and are of the bolt in variety. Asking $40 or make me an offer. Text or call Jon at 801-636-6165

First a little back story: I bought a 1995 K3500 four door long bed with a 454 and 4L80E. The previous owner had installed some LT1 Camaro dual electric cooling fans when the mechanical fan clutch went bad. Unfortunately, to get them to fit he trimmed the Camaro fan shroud down too far and it...

Now that I have my TBI 350 and 700R4 sold, I'm starting to try to put my 5.3/4L60E into my old Blazer. Since I'm retarded and don't think things through carefully, I finally noticed the new (97 and up) 4L60E's have a six bolt hex pattern instead of the 4 bolt setup all the old 700's and...

Is there any place in Utah County that will recycle or properly dispose of used anti-freeze? I've got about six gallons I need to do something with so I can start on my next project. Autozone was not helpful. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't really want to contribute to...

It's time to build a cage for my Blazer, but I've been looking at the BITD rule book and according to the weight of my vehicle, I need to use 2" .120 wall DOM tubing for my main cage structure. Just about everything else seems to be built from 1.75". I'm probably not going to race it, but...

I'm getting ready to yank out the TBI 350 from my fullsize Blazer and pump in a gen III 5.3l and 4L60E. I have a couple of questions before I yank out a perfectly good running motor. I need a VSS. I don't really want to run the electronically shifted T case that is currently on the...

So, my Blazer has a perfectly good TBI 350 with a brand new 700R4 behind it. The plan was to put on some Vortec heads, a cam, bigger throttle body and a chip and hope I get somewhere close to 300 HP. However, I'm picking up a 2000 chevy with a 5.3l and 4l60e this weekend. Would you yank...

I'm in a fight with my steering arm and pitman arm. The steering arm is too long in relation to the pitman arm to get full steering travel, which sucks, especially in a full size. Right now, the drag link is parallel with the axle with the wheels straight ahead. If I switch to shorter high...

I have some coarse thread bolts attaching my leaf spring plate to the pumpkin of my chevy D60. They keep coming loose. I would like to put some factory studs back in, so I can double nut them, only I can't find any. I tried Six States and the Chevy dealer (who claims they don't exist) and...

I need a few more degrees of travel out of my pitman arm (mostly due to mismatched pitman/highsteer arms) so I'd like to increase the travel of the piston in my saginaw (chevy 2WD) box. I know the big cap in the end of the box controls the left turn travel, but what controls the right turn...

Why do we have 85 octane fuel here in Utah? It seems like in a lot of other places (Cali) 87 is the cheap stuff. Most manufacturer's recommend at least 87, but I've been burning the 85 in my stuff forever. I don't have pre-ignition issues and I run higher octane when I know I will be...

Those of you who are married will understand the title better than those of you who are not. When I started this build, it was supposed to be a Chevy truggy/prerunner rig destined to compete in King of the Hammers, but the wife and kids changed the plan. I started off with a '76 K10 on one...

Did EJS seem less crowded this year? Besides UHP, it seemed like there was less of... everything. There just wasn't as many people on the trail, in the hot tub, at the restaurants, etc... Not that that is a bad thing, but there seemed to be less excitement too. Everything seemed laid...
