Bob owns Supplee 4WD Enterprises in Oklahoma and is turning
into one of
the newsgroup's favorite guys to buy 4x4 stuff from. You can reach him
at 405-799-8977 or supplee@ionet.net.
The reason many of us like him is
because he's fast to get us the gear, totally honest (has even shipped
us gear before receiving the money at times), and usually has the best
prices that include shipping... and he'll give you his best price up
front with no need to negotiate with him. A very nice guy, we even
tried to get him to drive his CJ out here for our upcoming Death Valley
run but he can't leave his business that long. Oh... Bob doesn't have a
catalog or website yet... it's just a small 4x4 shop.

Foothill Off-Road in Auburn does good work. Very close to Roseville.
Instead of spending the $'s on the Fabtech, have them swap in a Dana 44.

Place to buy aftermarket body parts.
These are not genuine Toyota parts so
the quality is more then likely not as good.

I just got in the mail a Con-ferr catalog I ordered. They've got some cool
stuff for toyotas, and a lot more than their items carried in the Downey
and NWOR catalogs. One thing I noticed that was really cool is a combo
pre-runner grilleguard with winch mount for solid-axle pickups. They've
also got a variety of nice bumpers that are inexpensive, and the end caps
are sealed welded steel, so I suspect they are far more rust resistant then
the Smittys.
They also have lots of inexpensive brackets and so forth; things like 2"
receiver hitch receptacles you can bolt or weld to another bumper, weld-on
shock mounting brackets, blitz can carriers, push plates/pads, and so
forth.
One thing that was kinda weird though is that the catalog is dated 1992(!).
It was $5 and the address is 123-211 South Front St., Burbank, CA
91502-1983
I have a shipment of them coming in late may mid june. run 550.00 + shipping
Please let me know.

Subject: Re: Rear brake line
At one point earlier in the year I interviewed with Goodridge
Performance Plumbing. During the time I was there I got the low down on
this DOT issue. The issue is indeed the "hard bend near fitting" test.
In the 2 other tests braided stainless hose significantly outperforms
std. hose. The bend test looks like this: hold a fitting in each hand.
Form an 'S' curve in the hose keeping the holes in the fittings
parallel. Hold one hand steady while imitating a hand crank with the
other hand. How many revolutions until failure ? S.S. work hardens if
the bend is too tight, which is why the Earl's DOT legal hoses have
those funny looking spring thingies on them. I do like the Goodridge
design better, and no I didn't take the job.
The curious thing is that in the US, the manufacturer certifies that the
hose passes the test. The German TUV uses the US rules (on hoses anyway)
verbatim, but THEY certify the hose. So if a product passes TUV testing,
it's automatically US legal.

My opinion is worth what you're paying for it.
Subject: RE: Driveshaft Wanted
I just order a rear driveshaft for my 87 turbo pickup from mountain
driveline (520) 532-8452. All build using spicer component and have twice
longer spline length. My driveshaft is quire rare. Used one range from
$125-150 with unknown u-joint condition. I paid $170 for mine.
Your might be more expensive since you have a double cardan joint.
Other source is Gloekco (800) 845-6326 they want $195 for mine. And using
only 1.5 in longer than stock spline length.
GDS (618) 288-7470 also make custom driveshaft
Six states are the first into the mail order driveshaft but they could not
give me a specific quote and only say the worst case is $275.
