    10th Gen Ford F-150 Torsion Bars

    Are there any manufacturers that make custom torsion bars for the front end of the F-150 (10th gen)? I'm looking for something in the ~2" range and will rely on turning the bars to fine tune. Thanks.

    Engine Accessory Drive Spares

    On our most recent trip (three weeks, ~7,000 kms, five provinces) we ended up getting stuck in Corner Brook, NL for an extra five days for want of a power steering pump. Of all the parts to get stranded by... a ~$50 PS pump. I want to put together a couple of extra parts to go into the boonie...

    Trailer Plumbing (potable)

    So I'm out fumbling around in the dark winterising the Starcraft. Found a water leak in the plumbing to the sink. It's plastic, compression fitting type stuff. I think the part that is leaking is just plain worn out from swapping a filter in and out. What's a good, high quality replacement for...

    USB to Serial Adapter

    A buddy of mine is having some difficulties with using a USB<->Serial adapter in an automotive environment. Sometimes it just stops working. He's casting about currently for an old clunker laptop with a built in serial port but I don't think that is the right way to go. I've heard that some...

    Rust free YJ tubs

    I don't know if this is practical or like searching for the proverbial unicorn... I'm looking for a rust free YJ tub. Anyone know of some Jeep salvage places in the south west USA that are used to or are willing to ship body parts cross country? Destination would be upstate NY. If anyone...

    YJ Build: to OBD-II or not to OBD-II?

    I'm getting things together for this winter's YJ build. I've been watching the want ads for a Cherokee to donate the engine, transmission and transfer case (4.0/AW4/NV2xx). It seems like there are a number of good deals in this area for a 1997-2001 XJ donor. Any real reason I should avoid...

    Pop up tent trailer column supports

    I have no idea if that is what they are called... did a little googling and came up blank. You know the steel C channel pieces that are used to support the columns on a pop-up tent trailer? The ones that get popped in after the trailer is raised to the correct height? How many of those does a...

    Range Rover Classic (RRC) Self Leveling Suspension

    I've been looking at auxiliary air bags for my Jeep while at the same time researching Land Rover vehicles for interest's sake. The thought occurred that I might be able to combine the ideas and fangle a self leveling setup on the Jeep using the RRC parts. I'm not terribly keen on the standard...

    TJ Unlimited Soft Top

    Does the soft top on a TJ Unlimited rely on the factory roll bars for support? If you did a custom cage would you still be able to use the factory soft top? TIA
