Off work today amd going to make a big push to wrap things up. Basically transmission tunnel/trim work, cargo area shelf fabrication, removing terrible looking "Land Rover" and "Discovery" decals, maybe a hood blackout, plugs/wires.....

Got my Kingsbourne 8mm wires yesterday. Going with the good ole Autolite plugs gapped to around .04, maybe .045.


The old shifter gasket was held in place with rivets, which of course I had to drill out. Putting it back together I'm using rivnuts and machine screws.

 

F*cking Photobucket. So much for my build thread. Those ********.

 

Aren't you able to post a picture straight from your device? Haven't used PB in years.

Anyhow, any progress?

Brian.

 

I can, but the entire thread used PB links to directly embed. I have not the time nor energy to go back and add pics at this point.
Took it to Colorado for a couple weeks and it did well.
I started rebuilding my front driveshaft and ended up messing up one of the ujoints. How I have no idea since I've rebuilt a bunch of them.

 

Just getting sloppy in your old age.

Are you guys doing the Midwest Rally again or is it dead?

 

Got ya.

Question. Do you disconnect your swaybars? Was thinking about doing this on my 01, but only have 2 inch lift (spacers)...so I'm not sure if I'd gain anything.

Driveshafts joints, you win some...and occasionally lose a few.

Brian.

 

Pretty sure that's dead. It would be easy enough to resurrect but I don't have the time and nobody else stepped up. Hell the club is pretty much dead. Haven't had a meeting since February. Apparently the people "running" the club don't have 5 minutes to make a Facebook event. 🙄

I don't have any swaybars on the red truck. It wanders a bit more/is slightly tippier than my dailu driver with sways but its not bad. If I ever build a bigger truck I'll run an X-Eng or Anti-Rock swaybar in the rear.

 

Sad to hear but not overly surprising really

 

Can everybody else see my old pictures?? Maybe I'll pick this thread back up.......

 

Roger Roger. They are up.
