I pulled out the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) and rebuilt it. I had bought one off of Ebay for $35 to examine, and I found it easy to disassemble and the problems with it were easily correctable, so I pulled the one from my truck and did the same. I'm going to start another topic with the writeup and photos.

I finally made my bumper pretty, and cut the plastic pieces so that they didn't hang down. (for the longest time I didnt have any plastic on it)

As promised took the Disco to the beach.
This site is situated in the National Elephant Park and to get there takes a 2hour drive to cover 50 km.
The disco behaved well but need those coil springs and shocks.

Sunday, I painted the rear bumper, front bumper, brush guard and end caps flat black. Changed the wipers, I'll clean it out today. She was down for 7months.

Just threw on a bumper and a 4.5 inch lift off of a D90. Doesnt look to shabby at all, and it wasnt to hard to fit it all up either.

Today I replaced about a dozen burned out switch lamps. Rather than pay a couple of dollars each, I ordered these from a Chinese seller on Ebay:

100 Pcs 3mm Clear 14V Mini Grain of Wheat Rice Bulbs | eBay

They fit exactly, and at a total cost of $18.83 for a hundred, they not only cost less (18 cents each) but I've probably got enough to outlast the truck.

Got a pic of the front? Looks like there's a fitment issue with the bumper. What springs/shocks did you put in there?

The fitment issue is the fact that I dont have a passenger side light. Still.. It does sit slightly low, but nothing to really get my bungaroos up in a knot about.



So far I havent had any clearance issues with it, and I have been trying, but about anything I would normally go through, or over it clears.
