My wife, the dog, and me are going to head down to Truckhaven for the Christmas break. Need to get out of SF for a few days.. Let me know if you are interested; we haven't totally set a date, other than between Dec 20th and Jan 1st (need time to get back to SF and unpack..)

My Wife is traveling most of July, and some of August with out. I do have couple of days vacation that I can use to go up in the Sierra's. Interested in any ideas of where to go, nothing too hard. I need to make sure I do not break the JKUR so it's good for my daily drive. I know of Ebbet's...

After 14 years, 145k+ miles, it's time to rebuild the front end of the Superduty. It is all factory - never been touched that I could tell. I also had the front passenger side caliper hung up which it destroyed itself, the rotor, and the pads. I actually had the metal backing plate fall out...

Yea, so sorry, it's a 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon.. Off to bolt on heaven! :burnout:

Since CARB outlawed the blitz can here in CA, and I lost the spout for them.. I'm either looking for a replacement spout, or a someone that wants the cans. I'm told they are banned in CA, and cannot be shipped here.. I am looking for this...

We are planning a trip to Phoenix over the christmas/new years break. Going to drag the zuk behind us. Rick has offered to run up Crown King while there. Anyone else interested? I'm not 100% sure of which day, it's sometime after the dec 25th and before jan 1st.. :) My wife has NEVER been...

"Street Legal". Finally. 18 months of paper weight in the driveway.. Smog referred and licensed today. Thought I had 1 good engine among three when I got it.. and no, none of them was any good. So I picked up a 1995 Sidekick 1.6/16v MFI OBD1 engine, with 110k miles (170psi cylinder...

Dang, this all feels so wierd to me.. I'm actually buying a brand new car. No, really, it's wierd for me, I haven't bought a new car for over 22 years. Everything has been used. Even crazier, it's an automatic.. but that's beside the point, or, how about this has only been on the market...

What is there to do around there? I'll be there from at least Nov 12th to the 18th, and I can extend a day or two if there's something interesting to do..

With the HUGE snow pack up in the Sierra mountains this year, I want to do some day trips to waterfalls in the hills. I know about Yosemite, there's Bassi Falls up by the Rubicon, and another fall on Hwy 50 before Ice House Road. Is there anymore? Post up, or let's get a group together to...

This just sucks, I rolled the zuk on Westbound I80 in Berkeley this AM, at about 35mph. I'm fine, with a few bumps and bruises.. There is no fixing this; the frame is toast, and I think the tcase is cracked. The cage took the brunt of the force, and came out pretty good from what I can...

Sorry Dannyboy, but the truck is sick now.. I'm getting p0308 codes. The codes started just after doing the CPS recall. Anyone have a black CPS I can borrow? Dealership wants $160 just to hook it up to the computer, and then they will probably recommend replacing #8 injector, to the...

Now, me and the GF have modified our vacation plans to head to Southern California for two weeks (August 1st to August 16th..), and I'm considering dragging the zuk with us.. I'm considering spending the weekend (Aug 8th) in Big Bear.. We also want to head down to Seaworld in SanDiego...

:hammer: Almost time to make some changes!

If you live in California, you NEED to read this and ACT. if you don't live in California, this is coming your way sooner or later (and probably more sooner than later). Go here: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/announcement.php?f=18&a=55 and...

Tinbenders is having their Jamboree/fund raiser to re-open Suprise Canyon. Go HERE for more information. I'm itching to go - the Hammers is hardcore rock crawling! Anyone else?

Who wants a real challenge? Let's go!

Anyone feel lucky? The zuk is almost done (details part now) I haven't been this year, and I need to go wheeling before 410Fortune!

I know, I know.. little more than 4 weeks to Moab, and I've pulled the whole drivetrain to worth a portion of it away! I'm such a madman at times! I have had a 2.0 liter engine from a 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara sitting in my garage since August of last year. Been wanting to get it installed...

I broke the drivers side seat (again) during TDS at Truckhaven. I also do not like the "wings" on the seats; they make it impossible for me to fully sit back in the seat without rolling my shoulders forward. 4Wheelparts had a 'Truckfest' down in San Mateo, and I decided to visit and see if...

Who is up for a run in Johnson Valley at the Hammers? You will need at least: 1) 35" tires 2) rock sliders 3) rear locker IFS rigs, a front locker will make a big difference. There is several possible weekends: April 1/2 April 8/9 April 15/16 April 22/23 - Tinbenders Jamboree...

Got the windshield back on, using bling-bling CNC hinges. Also get to start on linking tomorrow morning. I may have to totally cut the rear end off to make the coil-overs fit correctly, or lean them forward.

Am I fool, or what? :D

I found a new engine for the zuk today.. 2001 Suzuki Vitara 2 liter. Double the HP, probably double the torque, only 50k miles on it. Vehicle was t-boned, so the engine bay was in perfect shape. Bad part of this: It is not a California smog legal transplant, so the zuk will be going...
