nice score. I used 1/2" thick metal strap behind my carrier and fabbed a metal plate to raise the bolts up so the spare would clear the bumper. I was worried about the weight, but its been bouncing around back there for a few years and I use the cargo door 95% of the time, That i drive it. no problems!

 

Thats a good idea. Good to know. Thanks

 

Had a little time today. I cleaned up my junk yard oil pan and hardware. It had about 40 pounds of Rtv on it. It cleaned up and checks out straight.



While I was waiting for oil to drain, I got tired of looking at thst god awful lower bumper...so off it went. Soon the while thing will get replaced but it just looked like missing teeth to me before.







I also picked this up today. Cant wait to read it and start going on some of these trails.

 

you know.......now that you mention it.............that really did look like missing teeth.
that's a cool guide. where did you find it? online source or local deal?

 

It was at 4wheel Parts. We have a big ol store here and I stopped in to just browse and saw it. There is another few books like it of different areas on the shelf. So I guess there are more like it. Its really good

 

thanks, I haven't been in a 4wp since they quit carrying mickey thompsons.... I will have to stop by......and i was sure those folks, could not read.

 

Good work. Keep it up. It'd be interesting to explore a place like Nevada, where it's open. Here's it's all trees.

 

Ok got the old pan off . I just removed one end of the tie rod bar and swung it out of the way and the pan came right out. This is what I'm replacing.





its a real wonder this thing didnt just spew oil everywhere.

 

Installed the front driveshaft w new hardware and looks like 4wd locked and unlocked works great! Bit of a pain on the transfercase side with removing the flange for the new bolts. All new grade 8 hardware too.Installed my mongo oil filter and Rotella oil...no leaks as of yet. That will change I'm sure. It is a Land Rover.

 

I found this mystery part just laying in the area in front of the air cleaner box.. any clues?
