Helped a friend to the Camel Cut on his rear fenders and replaced the heim joint on my RTE panhard rod. Also discovered I have a bad Ujoint on my rear driveshaft. So I broke down a spare DS I have and will put new UJ's in it Monday at work. The fun never ends!

Haven't watched the videos yet but looks like you're getting some pretty awesome flex with your new set up jake. Those tires are monsters. But looks like the trimming was just enough?

Yea got a couple small spots to trim and it's rubbin in back of the rear wheel well. Gonna put a 2" spacer instead of the 1" in the rear. Watch the first part of second video you'll get an idea of how much it flexes now. The massive cut out wheel wells, massive travel and giant boulders make the tires look small.

Reinstalled my newly painted bumper and sliders. Talk about pita! A extra set of hands would have been nice.

An engine hoist and a floor jack always helps

Default I fixed and then broke me cd changer :(

I went to my local pick'n pull yesterday to see the remnants of two Discovery I's which had been on the lot for a little over a month. There wasn't much left of either, but I managed to find a seat belt, a sun visor, and cd changer (same year as mine). It turned out that my cd changer just had a busted magazine and the magazine from pick'n pull made my changer operational. The pick'n pull magazine even had six cds that I enjoyed on the ride home.

After I dropped the rear right male seat belt off at the upholstery shop to be sewn onto my rear left strap and then swapped out the sun visor I got to thinking " Wouldn't it be nice to see if the pick'n pull cd changer I took the magazine out of works too so I could offer it to someone on the forums". After I unplugged my changer's power and data connections and plugged them into the pick'n pull's it wouldn't turn on. When I cycled the band button to get to the CD changer menu it only displayed AM, FM I, and FM II. After hooking the original changer back up its the same story - it doesn't power on and band only cycles through AM, FM I, and FM II.

I tested the voltage at the power plug to the CD changer and its got 12 V when the truck key is turned off and 7.5 V when turned to position 1or 2. I disconnected the battery and reset the security code to see if that would do anything. Still scratching my head here.

I have a feeling both changers do actually work but I am just missing a step. If anyone can help out there's cd changer in it for you.

Thanks for reading.
