Newbie from Europe!

Hi All,

I'm a Newbie from Guernsey in the Channel Islands! We're a 5 mile x 7 mile British Island off France.

I run a shartened and bobtailed Range Rover with hydraulic rear wheel steering. Rear steer doesn't exist in the UK, let alone Guernsey so it's all built from scratch.

Hope to gather some great info on here!

Cheers, James

Newbie checking in.

2002 F250 7.3L. Not a serious rock crawler obviously, but I enjoy going on trail rides and being able to get off wet grass.

Hey does anybody have any ideas on what coil spring would work good under my CJ5 I built a custom 4-link front and rear but I'm having issue with it leaning real bad when I turn, I think it’s a combination of two light of springs and the spool I have in the rear axle. It has the AMC 304 V8 up front not really sure how much the front clip weighs.
Any ideas?

Ok I am new to the site and new to Toyota But not new to cars, trucks and or working on them or hard core wheeling. I do the MOAB Jeep safari every year was raised in Utah and wheeled most of it... just looking for some good tips and tricks for the 1981 Toyota I just picked up.

The way I see it you there is always someone out there that knows a little more then then you...

hi all. im from VT and looking to get into a woods rig of some sort. Just had a deal fall through on a solid axle 4runner with a bunch of goodies, but I am still on the hunt. Im pretty new to wheeling trucks, but not new to wrenching, offroading, or general vehicular abuse.
