I think I managed to fix the #4 wire but now the truck is missing on #1. Looks like my relocation kit for the coils should arrive on Friday so I think I'll just leave it be for now and tear into it over the weekend.

 

Replaced my rear ashtray with charging ports!

I used the charging ports/switch from Blue Sea Systems 4363 Panel and the only change I needed to make to the 3d part was dremeling the switch cutout and a couple of notches for the original metal spring clips.

 

Finally got the new front bumper installed. Few touch ups and new parts still needs to be bought.




Also upgraded my prop shafts. Rear with donut delete and new front flange also as the current seals leak oil into the handbrake.
Changed the oils too for both diffs and the transfer box.

 

Dervish, The front bar looks great. Can you share with us what brand it is?

 

purchased five new tires, Pirelli Scorpions AT Plus 275/65/18, and then drove down to Charleston, SC.

averaged a little over 14.5 mpg the entire way. hate to say it, but that's the best highway mileage i've seen in some time.

now, if i can just find a beach near by that i can drive to and drive on.

 

Thanks.

It's Fabryka from Poland.

Thanks Dervish. Very nice front bar. Never heard of them before.

 

I’ve just been racking up miles in my 03’. About 1,000 miles in the last 3 weeks, trips for work, some family travel etc.

Bought a dirtbike a while back and have been carrying it around on a hitch carrier with the Disco.

Decided to preventatively replace the radiator and flush the coolant Friday. That went off mostly without a hitch.

I did a 500 mile round trip from Birmingham, AL to Bowling Green, Kentucky. I cruised around 65-68mph, ran a lot of the way with windows down and no AC. Ended up with 16.7 mpg on that tank of fuel. I’ve got aggressive off road tires, thought that was pretty solid!

 

I had a pine tree jump behind me while I was backing into a camping spot over the weekend.

I had heard of people "shattering" their back bumper before and thought that was kind of weird. Now I understand. Sounded like I'd ripped the truck in two! Good thing I have a spare ready to go

 

So, got the wheels and tires done, painted and put under the Bogeyman.




Wheels are from Raptor 4x4 / Tyrex in Italy.
16x8" with ET 8.
Painted with some Polish rubber paint, and I might redo at least few wheels some time later to fix my fumbles and as the LAST spray can wanted to start spewing out drops of paint so I didn't have enough to completely fix that.

Tires are Toyo open country M/T 285/75/16 equivalent of 33".
