I need some advice WRT ring and pinion replacement. I am looking at putting 4.56 into my ride. Is there one company that is better than the rest? (Yukon, Alloy etc). The dealership quoted me $1300 + tax for the install. Any other advice is appreciated. Cheers, 2011 with 3.8l, auto, 33" (not...

I have a 2 dr, and when I take my 12' canoe, I have 4X foam blocks to put under it,and secure it from the front and rear to the bumpers. My wife's surf board, take out rear seat and keep the rear window up.

That wasn't the cost of pads just labour.

I just had the rear pads installed at Dealership. I'm off on Thursday for yet another Government sponsored holiday so I did not have the time to do it today. They charged me 1.5 hrs to service and change front pads. $169+tx =190 and change. WTF, to me this seems little excessive.

Thanks just ordered the lot. Cheers,

Ok I'm looking at the Northridge site and the JKS disconnect comes in two sizes. Currently I have the AEV 2"spacer lift, but I'm planning for a proper 2-2.5 in about a year. Therefore if I buy the JKS disconnect for 2.5-6" lift will this effect anything, or cause any problems with my current...

I just saw Eddie's write up on the rear brake pads. Pros and Cons of the Hawk pads and slotted rotors. I need to replace mine. Cheers,

I'm looking at installing the JKS sway bar quick disc, would I need to extend my brake hoses to compensate for max articulation? Cheers,

This is my trail buddies rig

Are many people still running the stock rear plastic bumper? (in the Northern States, Canada) It seems that the end caps are providing some protection for the inner rear quarter. I really want to take it off however will all the salt and shit I was wondering about that getting up inside. This...

Any one running this on their rig? Any photos of the install. Wondering how much was cut off rear, and if this is something I can do my myself.

Thanks Eddie. My line on the drum has a 'heat sheath' on the first line so I will for go the duct tape. This also serves as my visual. However I'm going to try the criss cross method. I would like a certificate upon completion for Recovery 101! God I just got sucked in, didn't I.

I don't know if I should have started this on a new thread, this one has gone a little south. However it has to do with my original question on recovery. I broke my steel line last fall pulling a friend out and replaced it with Masterpull synthetic. I put it on the drum nice and tight and...

I have one similar made by Master Pull called Super Yanker. Good piece of kit.
