Filled her up with 93 octane for the first full fillup since we've owned the D1. It's amazing how much better it sounds on premium vs regular. Makes me wonder how long it's been run on 87 octane gas....

I bent my track bar on 31s with mild trail riding.... I have graduated to 1.5x.25 wall DOM for my steering now!

I think the specs on the track rods I ordered thru Lucky 8, which I believe are TF units, are 30mm thick, which is a tad thinner than 1.5", but since they're solid, I would imagine it would take a LOT to bend those? Let's hope I'm not ever in an off-road situation to find out, lol...

Try the paperclip trick I mentioned on the previous page.

I am sure I will be building tie rods eventually, the list grows constantly, sometimes I make progress in leaps and bounds but still the list grows

Summit Machine made me some real nice tube inserts and jam nuts for Rover TREs for a pretty good price. Just wait til they do a run so you don't get charged for a custom setup.

Got the new headliner installed today. Material is thicker than the factory stuff, and it's amazing how much better it looks all tucked up nice and tight, instead of sagging all over the place. And then there's the headliner, lol...
