4-Wheel Drive And Off-Roading

By Mike Mello 09.21.2007 It sits there, close to where I live, collecting twigs, dirt, and gunk in the seams of its 8' bed. A few rot bubbles have broken through the moderately blue metalic paint but this truck still looks like a solid machine. This early 70's International 4x4 pickup is from a time when there actually were more than 3 choices in the domestic fullsize pickup market.

First, a VERY brief explanation of how a carburetor works might be helpful for some. For those who may already have a sound knowledge of this(probably more than I do), you can skip this part. I won't try to do a comprehensive explanation, just enough to understand why jetting is so important. and what effect jetting has on a carburetor. The purpose of the carburetor is to provide the combustion chamber with the proper ratio of fuel to air or the"Stoich Mixture". Although this ideal mixture... Read Full Story

Well she's back! Last weekend I was finally reunited with my beloved Land Rover Discovery nicknamed "grep". As I have posted previously she has been off the road since last August getting some much needed welding done. Let me clarify that, a lot of welding was done.

Does anyone own one of these that can tell me how satisfied they are with it? I would love to hear from people like myself that have purchased an ATV and have some pro's and con's to share. Let me know what you think. Read Full Story

Brian Deegan is the "disposable hero" This movie that aired on Spike tv has been somewhat of a motivating factor for me. Because of his many injuries and surgeries, Brian is literally held together with metal plates, pins, and screws. Since my own injury in April, I have had a small taste of this with a compound fracture to my arm put together with an 8" steel plate.
