The original Hand Brake drum was "wobbled"
Had it checked by enginering works and found the Face to be out.
Got hold of another one (Used) and no more vibrations.
In Meantime got bored and lifted the camping trailer by 6" and installed shocks.
Same hight as the Disco now. (No more leveling of the center on deep track sandy roads)

Default Finally progress made...

I actually got to work on the rig today. I rebolted the rear shock bracket back to the frame and lubed all the fittings and tried to get all the vac lines reattached to where they are supposed to go...1 still sitting with a screw in it, no idea where it leads but tracking it down soon. one way or the other.

thanks to all

From yesterday, but my father and started fixing the inner fender on the passenger side, it is turning out to be much easier than when we did the drivers side.

Also took off the rubber moulding around the windshield on passenger side. some bugs crawled out and the windshield can be lifted without any effort, so that may be the source of most of my leaks in the front.

Looks good, Jarell!!

I spent most the night making a shopping list for jointed trailing arms. I'm sitting at about $335 shipped for all the parts. They'll be sweet when done though. Joints on each end, left and right hand threads so adjusting the length can be done without removal.

I pulled the headliner so I can do something with it (paint or refabric still deciding) and try to identify some goofy wiring that was done by the P.O.


and scoured the entire forum for info on the radio so I can try to put in my aftermarket w/ bluetooth .. lol finally found a pinout of the radio now time to match it up.
