Can you post some better pictures of the sliders? I would like to build a set like these but I’m struggling to envision the entire design... I see how they are bolted to the frame but I see a weld closer to the actual sliders but it’s not clear. Much thanks!

 

drain & replace engine and diff oil (x3).

Tried to diagnose a squealing rear brake but failed. It is time for new rotors anyway so planning on doing the whole job...seals, bearings, rotors, and pads.

 

Got to the rear brakes. New rotors, pads, bearings, seals, and hardware. That should keep it off the "to do" list for quite a while.

most time consuming part... The run the the hardware store to replace one of the studs in the ABS ring. That set up is kinda stupid. The studs were unscrewing from the ABS ring before the nylocks let go of the stud. Then had to figure out how to remove the nylocks from the stud without damaging the studs. What a waste of time!

 

Hadn’t used my disco for a yr, just sat in driveway. Battery was out, one headlamp was out and my damn rear brake light fell off.

Got a new battery, replaced for free from sams, the pos terminal broke, changed that, changed both headlamps. New wipers.
Whats the best way to secure the rear brake light?

removed the ac control unit, plastic around radio and control unit is ****. The fan switch wasn’t making contact, I took it apart, cleaned it and still nothing, I used a heavy binder clip and it worked, now the switch just hangs outside the unit. Whatever, my ac works.

 

Monday, got the truck it’s final emissions inspection, next yr is just safety.

Question, will the trucks air flow move better without cats?

 

Ace Hardware has nylon bushings that will replace the bushings that come with the discovery. Here is a pic of one.

That's a 1 inch with a 3/8 hole.
I used a 5/16 T nut, outside diameter 3/8 fits right inside the bushing. I drilled a hole in the end of the T nut, drilled a 3/8 hole in the regulator arm put the T nut through the regulator arm, put a washer then a cotter pin.

 

Replaced it. Wasn't that hard once i got my bearings under there. A 7mm 1/4 drive deep socket made it almost easy.

 

New to the forum...
I ordered a user rear bumper for my son's Discovery 1!

 

Found a burnt brake light socket in the back whilst tinkering around.

I'm technically waiting for some parts I ordered from Lucky 8. When those come in it'll be radiator and rotoflex replacement time!

Anybody know where to get new rear bulb sockets?

 

i can't remember if i ordered mine new or went with used. but you could try Will Tillery for used or Lucky8 for new.
