I’d need pilot blocks to amplify & that means a looooong rope
I only plan to use the winch for pulling things onto my trailer, it’s only a 2k winch. I used to use a 1.5k on my old car trailer, seemed to be fine. I was looking in the classifieds for a 4500 tho. Lol.

Default body clips


Change out my corner bumper molding above the bumper . The plastic clip get briddle and corner molding pieces fall off. I found clips at Orlielly Auto parts ( Nissan Door panel retainers are a perfect fit and tighter than original clips.

Nice find! I just did this job too except I got the OG clips from AB for .95 cents each.

Got towed home today because my starter wouldn't spin. Funny, this happened with my last Disco II five years ago, so I get to replace a starter this weekend. Yeay!!

I’ve installed old, old man emus on the rear today, both shocks and springs, took an hour of work and much better than the stock shocks from ‘04

I installed a new starter this morning, and starting is now absolutely sure. My son helped, and it was really nice to have someone to hand the starter up to to pull it up and out, and then hand down the new starter from above while I stayed under the truck. Having a helper really made this job go quickly and smoothly.

Not today but over the last few weekends I've replaced the upper and lower ball joints, tie rod ends for the track bar and drag link, oil change, front axle oil, flush radiator, new thermostat, replaced plastic T bleeder with an aluminum T, master cylinder, SS brake lines, EBC rotors and pads. Next on the list is installing LK8's washer relocation kit.
