Unless it involves welding, I do it myself.

I've built/re-built all my trucks from ground up, including the engines and t-cases. The only thing I don't do is trannys, but I have friends that do that.
And diffs are best left to the professionals.
If you don't do the work, how will you know how to fix it when it breaks??

I do some things myself. My rig is my daily driver, so I can't risk braking something else trying to do a repair or a mod. I do little things myself like changing the brake pads, fluids, suspension work, etc., but leave more advanced stuff to the pros.

I usually end up working on my truck out of necessity. Something isn't right and I have a weekend to fix it.  |

Hey, I never started this thread, I wonder what happened to the original post? And why was it resurrected after 2 1/2 months ? |

Almost all myself.I like things done right & with the best value parts.4WD1 is right on-with the trail repairs.If your new to 4wheelin' -the best experience you can have is to fix it when your not on the trail yourself -you may have no alternative on the trail.I couldn't afford it to have somebody else work on it-even if I could find a competent,honest mechanic in my area.(they're a rarity-where I live)

I've been working......tinkering.....on cars and trucks since I was 13 years old. Since then I've learned the right ways to rebuilding (from the ground up) a good 4x4 TOY. Of course I've also.....without saying.....have learned a lot of bad ways or ideas of how to do things.
But if it weren't for a little imaginagtion and a few mistakes... how will you every learn.
I've done all the work on my truck except for the diff gears and the trans.
I believe fourwd1 said it best.........."If you don't do the work, how will you know how to fix it when it breaks??"
