    Custom rock sliders and that tab down there

    I'm ready to start cutting metal for a set of rock sliders and was wondering; how do you guys that fabricate your own stuff deal with that tab on the inside, bottom of the sill box? I can see that the vendors simply build them deep enough to enclose it, but I was wondering; is there anything...

    Come alongs

    Take for instance my Harbor freight 1/4" steel wire come along, rated at a breaking point of 8k pounds. In real life, how much is your average bear able to pull with this thing? Have you been bogged down to the point that you can't even turn the thing?

    Questions about 1996 Disco tune-up.

    Bought a automatic 1996 Discovery with 41,600 miles waaaaaaay out here in Japan. Got it from a dealer who looks like he got it from a trade-in, who was particularly happy to get it out of his lot (it was looking really funny next to all of the tiny cars he sells there). By looks I?d say that...
