    JK 44 axles, e-lockers, brakes, gusset, sleeved 5.13 gears

    I have a front and a rear JK rubicon axle out of a project I never finished. They have no miles on them. The original bracket were removed but from what I have been told you can buy the mounting hardware and weld it on or put them under your own creation. Regeared to 5.13 gears and elockers, how...

    Toyota 26 Spline Warn hubs

    I have a set of used 26 spline Warn premium hubs. They are in good working condition. They just need a little cleaning and some new grease. These fit 1986-94 pickups/4 runners and I think they fit some suzukis. Price is $120 Firm. 801-722-5517 Spence

    What would you buy?

    If I were you I would consider a a 2005-06 KJ CRD. While they are not perfect they are very nice vehicles. The 2.8 Turbo Diesel is a good engine and I consistently saw 28-30mpg on the freeway. Despite having an IFS the KJ is very capable with a cheap locker and a 2-3 lift.

    Diesel: Ford v GM

    It's a nice looking truck. I had an 05 GMC with a 6 speed manual and regret selling it. Nothing compares to the Duramax when it comes to MPG's.

    Return of the Montero?

    They just plan to bring back the newly designed Montero that will be released in the global market in 2017. In 2001 Mitsubishi went to a monocoupe unibody design and 4wheel independent design. They were designed to go fast in the dirt and to be excellent expedition vehicles. If you are expecting...

    Looking for a 3/4 ton hauler

    My recommendation is drive as many vehicles as you can. Sometimes we depend too much on interweb and not enough on real world experience.

    Looking for a 3/4 ton hauler

    I have always been very happy with the mileage from my 6.5 as well. I went to Yellowstone in October and averaged 24mpg. Having the new Optimizer engine really brings these diesels into the modern age. Driving my Suburban does not feel any different than driving my New 2014 Cummins or my 2009...

    Looking for a 3/4 ton hauler

    I plan to put it on the market in the next week or two. It's in great condition and being a 1999 it is the last year they made a diesel Suburban. While it has 230K miles it has a new Optimizer engine with all the upgrades which is around $8-9K upgrade. This engine is a huge upgrade over the...

    Looking for a 3/4 ton hauler

    I recently bought a 2014 Ram 2500 with a Cummins and a 6 speed manual. It is one smooth riding truck. That being said I know you are looking at these Fords but I have 1999 Suburban 6.5 Diesel that is on the market and in your price range. It should be able to tow 7000lbs with out issue. It has a...

    RTT Damaged

    I just need this thing gone. It's the way of where I want to park my new truck. First person to show up to my door with $300 and a way of removing it can have it. It really is a good deal. I did some old school tent camping on the ground at Retro Ramble last year and I enjoyed it, so much so I...

    RTT Damaged

    I have a CVT McKinley(5-6) man RTT with frame damage. It needs 2 new ladders, a cover and a few hours of TLC to look new again. Get this thing out of my driveway before the snow flies. There does not appear to be any damage to the material. The tent have been used about 6 times and is one year...

    Sixstringsteve's 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Non-Build Thread

    It's not a unibody, it's a monocoupe. Kinda like a formula racer. I a very cool body construction. The suspension rides on a sub-frame and you can even add a body lift. These rigs are extremely capable with some 35's and a lift. Even in stock form it should be able to do most trails with ease. I...

    GMC / Chevy Project Dual Sport ; 1998 GMC Sierra

    First and foremost I need it as a people mover. With 6 kids I am nearly at capacity. I want it to be as reliable as possible and maybe I will even tow a small tent trailer.

    GMC / Chevy Project Dual Sport ; 1998 GMC Sierra

    I picked up a 1999 K1500 Chevy Suburban with a 6.5 diesel and it got me thinking about this conversation. I have only had it for a few days and I am already thinking about doing a solid axle, just don't tell the wife. The K1500 Suburban is a totally different animal than the K1500 Pickup because...

    Volkswagen TDI talk

    I bought a new 2009 Sportwagen TDI off the dealer lot. It has been a good car. It has the 2.0 engine which is much more powerful than the old 1.9 engines. I do hear rumors that there have been issues with the injection pumps but to my understanding it has occurred in less than 1% of vehicles. I...
