A question,a thought and a critisim.

Here is the worst case scenario - a broken transmission in an Eurovan in Honduras. It took them 10 weeks to get back on the road!!!!

My point was more directed towards guys bolting on "Cool guy" rock crawler parts that are not replaceable in out of the way places.


One off road forum I am on a bunch of chimps are yapping

This is one of the main reasons I put the Sky shackle reversal kit in my F350. It uses all the stock suspension bits to give 3" of lift and a way better ride than stock. I do not want to be trying to find a spring from some companies lift kit that is back ordered or no longer being made. Any F250 or 350 from '88 (?) to '96 will have the spring I need at the local junk yard.

I would guess the yapping chimps are on bc4x4?? There is a LOT of banana eaters on that site! It is good for buying or selling parts, but that's where it ends for me.

Crawlin BC actually. Way more attitude and BS than bc4x4.

Well I think it goes back to where you will be traveling.

Yep... That's the main thing. I'd be crazy to take our North American warrentied Rig (Ford E350 towing a JKU) anywhere else.
I've had to many problems in the past with breakdowns, on newer well maintained Rigs, that I now half-expect a problem on cross-country jaunts.
