Most of the 4x4 community has heard the rumors and talk of a new off road park opening in a small town very near to the Chicago area, Marseilles IL.
After more than a year of meetings in Springfield for DNR grants, and meetings with the residents and town board in Marseilles, the park is finally a reality. A lot of the thanks has to go to local enthusiasts who showed up in force weekend after weekend for trail and fence building.

| How to Build a Coalition and Save a Recreation Area |
|
By Del Albright, BlueRibbon Ambassador
I was nodding off with my chin resting on my chest when the meeting
speaker suddenly caught my attention. I hate it when that happens – he called out my name and asked me a
question. Of course, because I’d been lost in dreams of trails and mountains, I had no clue what the question
was. But my neighbor saved me and said, “Give your coalition speech.”

| Missouri writes "Having a source of air at substantial pressures is important on the trail, whether it be for the use of air tools or reseating a bead. The CO2 tank is an alternative to compressors and air tank combo be it belt driven or electric. This portable source of air can be put together easily and inexpensively. I will describe how to put together a cost effective system and where to get the parts needed.

Exhaust manifold cracks have been a common problem on the Jeep 4.0L since they introduced the tubular exhaust manifold. There are very few 4.0 powered Jeeps out there that have been used hard that will not experience this problem if they haven't already. While not a huge or dangerous problem, the exhaust leak can get annoying. There are several good ways to fix the crack. You can remove the stock manifold and repair it, you can replace it with another stock unit (and have it crack to) or you can replace it with an aftermarket header. Repair is cheapest, about $20 in gaskets. The next option is replacement with a stock part. The most expensive is the aftermarket header. Prices vary greatly depending on what you choose and the install may require slight modification to the exhaust.

"Following is the procedure that I created to mount a 4 ft high lift jack directly behind the rear seat perched on the wheel wells. Most of this is common sense and you may wish to modify to your wishes...however this gives you the idea. The nice thing about this is that is "rollover proof" and it out of the elements and occupies space otherwise wasted."

| Electrolysis, not just for hair removal anymore! |
|
notoriousDUG writes "Original credit for this idea goes to The BEAR, he posted it a long, long time ago.
For me the part I hate most about any project is parts cleaning and rust removal, it is just such a PITA. Over the years I have tried a ton of products, tools and methods. Some worked, some did not and all of them cost me money. After hearing more and more about electrolysis it really started to peak my interest, I mean cleaning paint, rust and grime off of parts for little money and no effort? Sign me up!
