Any idea what was causing you to eat through the idlers so quickly? I recall a post (think it was on the old AS.com) where someone reinforce/braced the idler arms. Anyone remember?

Is an S10's front diff any stronger?

But EVERY page of a website should have a link back to the MAIN page.

That's from web building 101...

Common courtesy 101 states... you should have made the effort to click back and check out the VOM,and given Dean his props for building a nice van,then you could throw in your comment about the links.
I know your right about having a link,its just not the most pressing matter ATM,we are not deliberately trying to hamper your enjoyment of the site.

You do realize there has been some time and effort put into the VOM ( from the nominee putting the info together,and Justice taking the time to put it on the site ) in fact, I'll go as far as saying more time was spent on that ( for your and all other members enjoyment ) than the time and effort needed to make a couple clicks back to the home pg.

The reason was the lift and the oversized tires. That and wheeling in the rocks beats the hell out of the front ends. S-10 front diffs are no stronger since they are the same castings. If they were cast iron they probably would have lasted a LOT longer. Hummer switched to cast iron front diffs in the H3's because of the breakage of the aluminum housings.

but not forum building 101. every version of phpbb i have used had the logo linking back to the forum. Wouldn't be an issue if i was still using a top frame on the site, but i didn't like the way that the pages loaded that way. So...

i'll look into it, but use the front page. thats what its for :)

and now the Forum logo goes to the front page of the site. BUT, only if you are using the subsilver2 theme, which the majority of the members are.

if you're happy and you know it clap your hands.
