They were a set of wheels and tires, I had, with near new tires. I also have a set of wheels with 245/75's which are another .5 inches taller and almost .5 inches narrower I'm a pizza cutter fan - brand new BFG Mud Terrain T/A's. The ones on there now have better highway manners. We are currently using the D1 as a DD.

Side by Side, before and after suspension upgrade....

Stock setup was pretty worn out.

Ok so this is what I have going on. My tach is bouncing, battery has good volt read with truck off and running. Good read from alt to multimeter while the truck is on. No lights flicker, all fuses are good. When I lock the truck the directional light don't blink like they once did, the alarm is working. WTH?

The tachometer displays engine revolutions based voltage pulses taken from the Generator. The tachometer displays the RPMs based on the frequency of the voltage pulses.

If your Disco is charging well and the alternator is testing well, you may have a loose connection, or a bad wire. Tach could also be going bad, but I think that is kind of rare.

Do you have the '95 RAVE wiring diagram?

Yes, I have the rave. Its bounced before when the last alt was just about to die but the lights still worked. I'm guessing the alt, its now making a rattle noise. Damn rebuilt crap, good thing I can change it out. I'll have the store test it.

I read Lane's build thread for the first disco and now I'm gonna have to have 37s damn it! And it's further confirmed that at some point I'll chop the top off my truck.
