You will find quite a bit of that type of thing w/in the Jeeping community. There are many that will give their time and or their stuff to help.
I was recently PM'd on another forum by a local guy who noticed I lived nearby. He asked if I or someone I knew would be interested in a set of 5 Rubi Moab rims and MT/R's........ FOR FREE!! I had been recently shopping for a set for my XJ so of course I was interested and now they are in my garage. I offered some money and the guy refused it. I then offered him up an oil/filter change or gear oil or whatever Amsoil product he might be interested in and he remembered that he needed to change out his diff covers for some new, stronger ones he bought so he took me up on several quarts of gear lube and I threw in a bottle of fuel system cleaner too. The only other thing he asked of me was to lead him through a local trail. Of course I have no problem w/ that!
Boi1ermaker also gave me the hook up a while back w/ the air intake tube assy from his 2004 KJ. IIRC, I only paid shipping for the item. Regardless, It was a pretty cool hook up and I appreciated it a lot.
I will toot my own horn too and note that I recently sent skrracing a set of axle tube seals for free because he mentioned needing some for his ZJ. Clint has given tons of his time to this group both in person and through this forum so it was a no brainer in sending them to him for free when he mentioned needing them. It was the least I could do. (toot toot)
I have been thinking of starting up a "Karma" or "RAOK" (random act of kindness) thread on the forum to promote giving away things you have to others for free or maybe just shipping cost. So maybe think about it and see what you can afford to give away to help someone else out.
AAMOF, I have a rear tow hook that needs a new home and if no Moab attendees need it I will be offering it up to the general forum for shipping cost only or local pick up. (Moab atendees 1st because it is a required safety item for the trip)
Anyhow, Keep up the good Karma folks, it will come back to you.
