My central unlock button turns mine off..... 🤣

Spent a bit more time investigating today. Still no dice.

 

When you find out why, please post. I want this feature. 😁

 

Oh, I've got a pretty good idea why. Haha

Whole post will be incoming.

 

Took a bunch of old, worn, dead parts out and replaced them with some brand spanking new parts.



Steering shock, dead. One front shock, dead. One rear shock, almost dead, it eventually returned after I compressed it. And the rest 2, well, they returned also after compressing, but not too quickly, So a good time for a change.

Put in the Terrafirma TF534 turrets, TF178 and TF179 shocks and a TF837 steering shock.
I do have polybushes for the front and rear shocks, but didn't feel like putting them on.
Also changed the front stock trailing arms to the Adrenalin 6 degree corrected ones with flo flex poly bushes. The rears I did a few weeks ago.



And had to remove the front crossmember as it didn't allow the suspension to flex out at all anymore.


Next, maybe a Gwyn Lewis front and rear props.

 

What are the switches in the coin tray / ash tray location?

Cleaned up the drivers side. Removed the bump guards and the stock worn fender flares or whatever.
Looks like I feel after a shave, nude. Kinda like the feel of air getting to odd places, but too lazy to keep it this way.
Umm... +50 mm flares are waiting for install.


Also got a shi*tpart rear ladder put on.

 

I am chasing all my leaks, a fool errand I am sure. I have/had a leaky transfer case, I endeavored to pull it apart and reseal. Took all the bolts about and the cover to drain it. Put in STP 85/140 with some blue devil. I was not able to find a capacity, it seems somewhere around 3 liters? It was nearly impossible to pump with out heating it up first. It occurs to me that it may be easier to simply run the hose from the transfer case to a funnel and hold it up to let gravity do the work. Note for next time.

Put a bit of Blue Devil in the jack too, I heard that helps, knock on wood I wont need it.

I put in a full gallon, minus a few ounces of spillage.

How much should go it? Just to double check my work.

Hopefully, that puts an end to the leaks from there. I think I probably have a leak at the rear main seal, but does not seem bad enough to warrant a repair.

While I was under there, i tightened up the emergency brake successfully. It works for the first time since I have had it. The 17mm bolt on the drum, easiest fix ever, take that off the list.

I used this attached to this style bag to do my diffs on sunday and it was awesome. I bought a gallon of gear oil and just refilled the soft sided liter bag.

Rave says 2 liters (4.1 pints / .6ish gallons) for a refill. a little more if it's totally dry. I fill mine until it runs out the fill hole, wait for it to dribble and then close it back up.

 

Swapped out my battery for the second time in three years. Fortunately, it was under warranty. I definitely have a gremlin draining my battery that needs to be found.

This stuff really adds up when you write it all out. Although she's no longer my daily, I never fail to smile when I'm driving her.
