    I cannot lie, the first two articles about these scary awesome forward control 4x4s had me enthralled as I had never seen nor heard of one.  There is just something about them that makes me want to throw on some boots and a heavy flannel jacket, toss my chainsaw in the back and disappear into the…

  • Name That Part- Eng & Chang Edition

    /

    Marvin Gaye once sang One can stand alone in the dark, Two can make the light shine through- It takes two, baby, It takes two, baby, Me and you, just takes two.

    I had to leave work early today to meet my better half; ’twas a scheduled meeting to lend spousal support for a medical consultation, and I knew when to meet her and what it was for… but she neglected to tell me the place.   I knew it was with a specialist, but that only narrowed…
