Like most off-roaders, you’ve probably gone to your local store and purchased small 12-volt (cigarette lighter) powered air pumps promising to deliver 100 plus p.s.i. Maybe you’ve even purchased the bulky red air tank that you can fill at your local gas station that holds a whopping 80 or 90 pounds of air pressure. After a full  day of wheelin’ …

Our FJ40’s 11 year life span as a product test mule has officially ended. We celebrated its life with a few cold libations, said a few words and then threw some dirt on it memorializing its past existence. Its days of having hundreds of goodies bolted and welded to it have finally come to an end. Just moments after our …

  This is it. The build for project Buckshot, our 1975 Ford Bronco Sport, has officially begun. Most of the parts are in, the build plan is finalized and we’re off to the races.

The M.O.R.E. kit comes complete with every thing needed for installation. The kit itself is a work of art! The pucks are milled out of 6061 T-6 billet aircraft aluminum! The kit also includes …

Bang!! Pow!! Crack!! No, it’s not the sounds of Bruce Wayne stomping out evil in a Batman episode. It’s the horrible sound of a good day of wheeling gone bad. If you’ve done enough hard-core wheeling it’s a sound that you’re probably familiar with. Tempting fate is something we all do to some extent when we head out for yet …

  About 15 years ago, well before this web site was even a thought, I made a several hundred dollar purchase. Of course it wasn’t my only multi-C-Note purchase, and my wife is quick to point that out. It was however, a Kayline Soft Top that would work with my original hard doors on my ’74 TLC FJ40.
