nice thanks

I suppose I didn't read into the post that anyone would actually put tires on a vehicle that they could stuff into the fender with out thinking about bump stops. I's sure it's been done. I know what a strut is VS a shock thanks, and agree nothing good happens when you bottom one.

I had a F-250 HD, i cost me more in fuel and other repairs than I have spent on the CRD to begin with. Sorry, no pick me up truck in my future :) I do understand how hard snow plowing is, its not something I have to do with this vehicle, but it would be nice to be able to do the road with out...

From what I have read the bump stops are there to prevent spring bottoming. This is when the coils start to close and touch each other, this leads to problems, broken suspension bits being a big part of them. There is a great read in the forum with some pics on how suspension lifts can create...

Hi guys, Been on the list for a while but not posted much, try to read lots. I have a 2006 CRD, about 130,000 Km on it now. Rear shocks now seemed to be bad now,,, very stiff in the -10000 degree temps we have had lately. So I have shocks on order, nothing special just KYB's. I have been...

Great Idea... I'm in Let me know also please.

The rock lizard ones looks rather cool indeed, but I don't see any cutouts for da fog lights.. Maybe just this version. I will check websites. Thanks guys

Well, actually it has little to do with refinement.. It's a product of supply and demand.. With all them big rigs on the road the demand is HUGE... they get what 5 MPG on a good day ? I used to think it should be cheaper 'cause it's easier to make... A trucker straightened that up for...

Humm, ARB... something something BAR.. Yes, I will feel like an idiot once I realize what it is.

I have yet to hear of any winch mounts ( notice I said winch, not wench =P~ ) on the forums anywhere. I would like to get one, but not sure how to mount it without it looking hideous. Any thoughts ?

Don't get me wrong.. I would never do it. But there are many a people running WVO.... I don't think it the way to treat this diesel engine, but... With poor biodesiel there can also be leftovers from the conversion process that wil make the PH problems in VVO seem like nothing.

Beware of higher concentrations levels in cold climates. The viscosity factor for Dino diesel vs. Bio diesel is much different. The Biodeisel gels in colder climates... The mythbusters was not bio diesel, it was waste vegatable oil.. Hence the french fry smell. If your climate is warm...

That can be a problem for sure. I was going to ask how many people are out there that have done a HID conversion, get flashed (by others highbeams) on darker roads. I would love to have HIDS in the lows, and not real worried about the highs as I have 150 Watt KC's beside the neadlights...

Thanks for your reply. Now, on Sunday I decided to plug in the block heater (was rather cold that night -20deg C ) in the morning. I guess I had it plugged in about 2 hours. Funny thing was it made it MUCH harder to start. To the point where it wasn't going to start. It would catch but would...

Recently, since it finally got cold and snowed, a rather LOUD noise has developed from the engine / frame area. It only started since it's been quite cold, and I think it kight just have been some snow / ice build up near the engine / frame area. Has this happened to anyone else. It resonated...
