We do what we do.
The good new is, she should be rock solid for well over 6 thousand miles after. (Kidding)

Got my bumper about half done, still waiting on some more steel. Also got my second transmission cooler hooked up and got my tail pipe ran all the way out the back which you can actually see in the picture because it comes out at an angle. That 3" exhaust is big.

Since I'm at 92K miles, the mechanic threw in a free 90K full service after the engine and tranny mx.

Inline thermostat parts came in quicker than expected. Got it throw in today, but no time to fill and bleed. Off to work then ill probably get it finished up tomorrow. Found a cheaper way to do it, too. Post coming soon to a forum near you.

Finally got the 03/04 SLABS unit into my Kalahari and got the stored codes off of it. (originally had it installed, but no what to clear the 4 amigo's so I removed it). Nephew at that works at Nissan mentioned they had a 5-9K Snap-On scanner so I slapped it in again real quick and drove down to see if it would clear the faults. Sure enough it did, and the 03 that I got the SLABS out of had every ABS fault you could have stored in it... Nice to have a complete 04 CDL setup now!

Probably going to save the SLABS out of my 02 Kalahari and install it into my 99 when I lift it and delete the SLS as it will be programmed for coils vs SLS already. Or take the SLABS out of my 03 D2 parts truck with coil suspension and install it in preparing for another 04 CDL Linkage install into the 99.

Got my odometer back light in from Atlantic British in today. Pulled the fascia off and super glued the cracks and replaced the bulb. Light never worked before. Killed 2 birds with 1 stone.
For those interested here is the correct bulb:
Bulb & Holder Instrument Grey Base (Genuine Part # YAW100020 ) - Land Rover bulbs from Atlantic British

when I was chancging all my fluids I took an lg 2 liter cola bottle. and put a rubber patch on the bottom of the bottle with glue. the punctured the patch with the smallest drill bit I had. I fill up the bottle with the geer fluids. and run a modified cap on the bottle to a hose that goes down through the engine bay. and on a hook like they do in hospitals with iv bags. one in holes I have 2 liters of gear oils in place I then take my compressor and put on my basketball filling tip and insert it into the bootom patch and press on to put pressure in bottle. they empty out in seconds of pressure. I made a small mess on the ground but found where to put buckets for the rest. kinda hokey nit it works. lol

Replaced my D2 wiper arms with some D1 arms I picked up at my local indy rover shop, and finally popped in my terrafirma steering damper. Dropped in some center console cup holders I also snatched up from the shop. Next will be rearview mirror (mines cracked) and headliner.

Paint the headliner, don't bother putting new fabric on it.
