Last time we installed plenty of beef to our stepside Chevy 4x4 with a Dana 60 front axle and 14 Bolt rear. Now we turn our attention to the steering. With big tires to turn, we went to PSC and Off Road Designs to tackle the task and get us steered straight. Read on for the details.  October 28, 2008

The progress on our little Toyota Rav4 project continues. In this installment we swap out our mild mannered street tires for some Dunlops more suitable for the dirt so we no longer have to worry about getting mired in the mud. August 22, 2008

A simple install makes our truck feel like new. In one hour we put into place a one-inch body lift for much needed tire clearance and new body bushings to replace our worn stockers. The results are well worth the minimal effort. July 18, 2008

Our Project Big Bad Chevy kicks off with rebuilding its thrashed wooden bed. After lots of grinding, cutting tube and positioning plate we can finally use the bed again. The Trucklet gets a haul-everything rack.
