that transfer case fill plug was tough to get to, I ended up using a 1/2" swivel piece attached to the 1/2" drive. was a very awkward angle, but it worked like a charm. cheers!

Ordered new windshield and going to find a rear driver side door today. Hopefully I'll be on the road in my disco next week. So I'll be Green on my passenger side and white and black on my drivers side..... Can't decide if I should order the original paint or paint the whole thing in a plastic coat. Maybe a dark earth color?

It wasn't today, actually 2 weekends ago... but, I replaced the stock top radiator hose to the newer version on the '99. The relief valve in the hose had sprung a leak. Pretty easy job, except for spilling fluid all over the garage floor.

**EDIT** Oh, and, the weekend before that, I replaced the A-pillar trim on passenger side of the '04. The wife thought it was a great hand hold spot while climbing into the truck... until it broke. Now she knows better. Those pieces are easy to remove, but a pain in the a** to put on.

Drove to Winnemucca in Northern Nevada to pick up my new Toy/Investment. What a LONG drive!!! But, the LR handled it beautifully! Averaged 14.6 MPG on the complete trip, trailer empty on way up, and OVER loaded on way back. Those tires are BARELY hanging on!!! LOTS of straps...

Winnemucca.... I remember that town. It was the last sign of "civilization" before I reached Klamath Falls.
How much weight did you have on that trailer?

Got ONE of the two pre-cat oxygen sensors replaced this afternoon (replaced both post-cat ones a few months back with no issues whatsoever). Anyway, I just could not get the driver's side one to budge and finally gave up after spraying it down with even more PB Blaster... going to let it sit overnight, going to say a few prayers and then get back at it in the morning. Used Bosch 15630 for the rear and Bosch 15175 for the front. Amazon has them for $45.81 and $53.61 respectively right now, so a great time to get them if needed; and with free Prime 2 day shipping. They also have the oxygen sensor offset puller for just under $10, which I highly recommend.

Yes, it was the middle of desert. Not much around there.

Only about 1200lbs. The buggy is about 1050 the way it sits, and I had steel plates and wood ramps loaded under it. We ran 65-70 all the way, so it rode well. This trailer pulls really nice and straight.

No Doubt! Although, we may not keep this one long. We'd like a smaller one that is easier to store.
