i pick up my green 01 Monday after work. The back door locks and rear hatch aren’t opening from power, just from the inside. Should I just order new actuators or are they possibly fixable? Have people been able to repair them or is best to just replace them?

 

Replace

 

Looks good, best of luck with your new discovery.

If you take the LR Badge off the light/latch cover thingy you can douse the mechanism in WD40. I did this years ago, and it works. Of course, it’s only a matter of time until I need to replace it.

 

thanks collie, I’ll give that a try first, I was hoping not to blow all my money right off the bat, want to drive it for a bit to make sure all of what I needed first.
How do you guys feel about the spacer lifts vs the terra or ome lift springs? The stock ride felt pretty decent

 

I put TF Medium Duty 2 in on my disco, ARB bumper but no winch on it. 7 passenger, so it has some extra weight to it, and I never really noticed a ride quality change. The old springs were original, as were the shocks and steering stabilizer. I replaced all those parts with TF and again it rides the same. I run ARB springs on my Grand Cherokee ZJ which is a 5 inch lift and I honestly feel that the ride on the two is similar. My tires are 275 75r18 see attached pics, right is pre lift, left is post lift

 

+1 to this It's worth the few minutes of effort to spray it up. Looks like this >

 

Did this on my 01, lubed the living daylights out of it...and its been fine since (about a year now).

I will definitely try that first for sure. Just dropped her off at my mechanic buddy’s. Who is also one of my wheeling buds. So I hope his list is short for the safety.
Although I did find some water in the headliner. Lol. Guess I’ll be sealing up
the sunroof too

 

Congrats on the truck....ENJOY! Let it be known

Before you seal/goop up the sunroof check the drains first. You might get lucky.
