As you can see in the thread, my reman with the pressed on pulley leaked, squeaked and wasn't even out of a Discovery.
FWIW: I paid $17 for shipping so I could get my $55 core refund. They say it can take up to a month to get your refund, mine took two weeks. Their prices are cheap but don't know if it's worth it. If the pump lasts 3 years then it is.

Ordered new front and rear bumpers, Diff Guards, Rock Sliders and some other stuff. Going to be a busy few weeks. Hope I can get it all done before SCARR.

Perfect... I think I'm going to have it redone outside the spring for a bit more flex

Just throw a 4 link under there


By summer I think I should have my rear end linked, and have decided whether or not to link the front. I'll just have to reroute the exhaust somehow for the front. I'm giving my terrafirma kit to my pops and buying some bilstein 7100's and either getting custom coils or just the terrafirma 3" ones.


Also, put a new HD front driveshaft in today, that spline is massive, and its nice and shiny on a bad note, I think my front diff is going to explode rear soon.

I want to link mine... we'll see what happens. I want to see what happens when I get my 7100s installed.
