I was planing to go to junkyard to find another actuator just to have it so i can practice opening it but I realized that the dome light doesnt turn on when i open the drivers door, it does turn on when i open the right front door. Which made me wonder about an electrical issue.
What would happen if I split the wires from the passanger side front door and run them into the driver side actuator? So whenever the passanger door opens/closes, drivers should do the same thing. I cant find the meaning and task of each wire which goes into the actuator.
oh also, I found a cool Freelander brush guard in the junk yard for less than 50$!! I should write it on their part of the forum in case if someone needs it.

 

It's the radius arm probably... or the front bumper

 

Little trip to the Enchanted Rock!

 

Got the y-pipe all welded up and new gaskets put in. It finally sounds like a v8 and not like I'm driving a small plane.

Avg mpg dropped a little bit though. I'm not embarrassed to accelerate anymore.

 

I Scored a pair of cup holders on ebay for $5!!!! I've been eyeing some of these cup holders for a long time now but $50 was always better spent on other things. $5 I can live with

Installed a much needed serviceable front propshaft. Old one was 104K miles old but still one piece. Did have a little vibe to it though, it may have been getting ready to go.

 

Picked up some Range Rover Sport rims for it

 

Went to a local park and played with some friends. My Landy and a 4-Runner. Conditions were a bit more wet than I like. Near the entrance there were a few trenches filled in with water. The long shallow one was easily cleared by both. I decided to try the short one that was a bit deeper. NOPE!! Got in just fine, and slugged it to the other side, where there was a 75* exit angle. My brush guard dug in, and while struggling, keeping revs up, tires clawing at the goopy mess, I was only advancing an inch every 30 seconds. So, I attempted to reverse out of the trap. That went fairly well until my rear differential sank into the glop. First time I have ever had to be recovered by another vehicle. I think I would have needed 44" tires to get through that pit.

 

Did the fenders, 6-8 coats. However you can see the part that was sun faded still. I sanded, prepped, etc. I wonder how many coats it would take to hide that difference? It feels smooth, but you can see the difference in the black.

 

Primer before the paint may of helped that out some.
