Everyone going to KOH should create an account and sign this E patition. I think we can learn alot from the way Americans fight land use issues. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/save-johnson-valley-ohv-area-be-fiscally-responsible-stop-29-palms-marine-base-expansion-keep-public/5r0C7Xw4 ...

Re: Atlas transfer adaptor

An atlas will bolt straight to the jeep aw4. I've read about guys in the states swapping the tail housing and output shaft in the Toyota A340 to jeep Cherokee parts so I could only assume the same thing may possible for the Vitara aw4.

Re: The Welding Thread

Im no expert but i think you need to slow your travel speed down or turn the wire speed down a little. Looks like your weld is sitting up on top because your moving to fast, if you slow it down you'll end up with a flatter stronger weld. Also try and work on keeping your speed more uniform, can tell ...
