[QUOTE=JUKE179r;693264]@Landy-04 Who made that driveshaft? It looks exactly like mine from A-1 Driveshaft Co. out in Milwaukee. If it is, it's a great build and quality.[/QUOTE
im not sure 100% but it looks like the one from Great Basin rovers.. I scored last time I went to the salvage yard. $40 😎

 

Nearing her final form. How she is sitting after adding TF +3" adjustable shocks and 1" spring spacers. Went out Saturday morning for a shakedown and the added height eliminated some minor rubbing issues I was fighting and the added shock travel is well worth it.

 

Did you use spring spacers in the front and back? I've been looking for 1" spacers for the front. Source?

 

I bought Lucky8's 1" spacers for front and rear. I was pleased with the build quality. My rover sits pretty level but it's a little harder to tell since I cut the front fenders.

 

Weren't you going Fox?

I'd cut 1" off the rear fenders - it's easy because you just follow the flat spot. I used bulb edge-trim off amazon to replace the body seal and door seal. And regular edge trim for the arches. It'll make it look less squatty.

 

Thanks! I didn't realize they had a 1" spacer. Just ordered.

 

Over the last few months, I noticed some dried coolant onto of the coolant recovery tank. By D2 being 19-yrs old, I noticed that the bottom of the cap had a small crack. No problem replace with new. Then I noticed a very small pin-hole in the tank itself. Got a replacement today. Didn't help that the temperature gauge sky rocketed this morning, but at least I know it works. After installation, I filled the coolant tank, started the engine and found no leaks. Then I went for a short drive, upon coming back the tank was whistling out one of the small holes on the back of the tank. Coolant evaporated for the most part in the tank. What is going on?

 

I broke down and got some new LED side marker lights from Tuff Rok. Instant upgrade. They look fantastic and work great.

 

I got a Joy Factory cupholder iPad mount. It fits and works perfectly. I’m just not sure our jenky cupholders will hold up when going off road. I’m going to see how it goes. No matter, if I see it wont work, I’ll keep the cupholder mount for my Power Wagon and look for another solution for Clarkson.

 

I was going to but I had rushed an already ordered the TF shocks. UPS and USPS wanted an outrageous amount to return the TF so I could get the Fox. I goofed and will live with it and when they wear out just means hopefully I'll be done renovating my house and I can go a little more custom and try to max out travel without going any higher..

I have been hesitating on cutting the rears. Do you know if anyone has done a how to on the process or maybe a pic or two? It seems fairly straight forward but body work is not really a strong suit of mine.
