Ha! Speaking of hot...I installed a t/stat yesterday. I can't say replaced because there wasn't one to start with. Savannah mentioned that the previous owner possibly had an overheating issue. I sure hope it runs okay now. I purchased one off AB.

 

new copper tops plugs , oil flush then change, trans drain then put a new filter in there, used sea foam in gas tank and bought sea foam spray and cleaned intake , new roto flex , brake flush, new calipers , and found faulty abs sensor but after i got the light to stay off while driving the break were worthless on my dirt road and at speeds over 60 i can its not safe takes too long to stop? so i phoned my lr dealer and asked to speak to my buddy, well as he told me i wasted my time on my abs, the d1 abs was faulty due to the time it needed to make corrections , and told me to unplug the pump that the is the only way to get full breaking , so i gave it a try and the abs light came right back up, so i did a 0 to 30 to 0mph. for the first time i heard my tires chirp and i stopped 1/3 faster or better then the dirt test at about 30mph the brakes were perfect ,



went on the funny after drive and dusted everything for a few miles ,looked like i was spraying pesticides ,


but now the front has a vibration , mostly when i let off the gas in a turn , some times its only a shake, some times i also hear what i thank is my left front hub, kinda want to get a go pro cam to put on strange places to see and hear what is going on from time to time...

 

The vide could be your driveshaft. How much lift do you have? How new are the ujoints in the front driveshaft? Is the driveshaft a DC or standard?

 

Finally finished the iPod integration! Just need to chase away a little bit of alternator noise.

 

Good to hear, maybe my sinking pedal is because of the well-known crappy ABS. I'll try it tonight after she's out of alignment shop where they're installing adjustable panhard. We'll see how that goes, I have a feeling I'll be redoing it myself

 

I think I killed my son's 97. Very loud transmission-type noise. now won't go into gear. can't even get it back inside to tear it apart. ugh!

 

Finished installing new steering box. Not sure if it's solved the problems, but seems to work ok. Need to let the bubbles settle and bleed some more.

 

Nothing much, just installed 4.5" bumpstops. Here is a pic of the articulation with the new shocks. Stock arms and bushings frame side are begging for mercy. Spring also dislocated...major pain in the *** to reseat it without cones. Need those installed asap. Still had more shock left but ran out of hill and by the looks of it bushing travel. Johnny jointed arms should take are of that issue.

 

Ian, I want to see what you come up with for trailing arms.

 

2"x.25" DOM. Adjustable polybushs axle end with adjustable Johnny joints frame end. Still working on frame mounts. Preferably boxes like RTE uses. Picked up the DOM Monday.
