yes it’s hard to beat used kitchen cabinets. Easy to make or order new doors to suit your decor but the basic structure is there, try and find older all plywood cabinets instead of particle board if possible.
garage journal.com has a thread on this

even better is if you can find some cabinets from an industrial setting like a lab or similar.


Ill check it out for sure. I've just been trying to find used stuff on kijiji...not even sure where else to look to be honest. Thanks for the suggestions

I was saving my bottle money for this set from Costco online but suddenly Costco doesn’t have them anymore. Costco prices where better for the same sets.

New age site was faken out too. Maybe they are experiencing the covid short stock syndrome.

Swapped out Carli junk for EMF Track Bar rod end.
Wow did it stiffen things up. I was developing a wonder, I was shocked this swap made that much difference!
Good part is I found a water pump leak! Sure glad I paid a shop to do that like a year ago!

Tore the ol' girl apart last week...
So I need a few parts... Swing arm shaft, all swing arm bearings, all bushings [front and rear], all brake pads, rear rotor, ball joints... haven't even got to the front diff yet.
Anyone have any experience with the "TORQ LOCKER" vs Visco replacement?

Hmmm, I've watched a few You Tube videos with no mention of that.

Also looked at the "HALO LOCKER"....freakin' expensive, sweet lookin' piece thou.
Both of those are axle breakers. I had the torq and buddy of mine had the halo. Only way to get away from breaking axles is to buy really good axles like turner. If you're set on doing a locker then the halo is a much better option. At least you can lock it in only when you want it. Steering is substantially harder when locked up also.

Thanks, steering was my next question. I have a buggered shoulder and really like my power steering.
I'm not a hard core rider by any means, just looking at options for diff replacement/repair....shes really clicking.
