Bora have an extremely good reputation for spacers.

I went with the black steel wheels so I could get away with not running spacers.

 

Tore into the cooling system Tonight to replace some leaking hoses.

Was a little shocked when a couple clamps fell apart in my hand from rust.




The list is almost done and I'll be ready for the Red Clay Rally.

 

EAS is fixed, but I am beyond pissed with the sunroof... it was half opened upon arrival. Got it into place & tested it, click click click click.... Removed motor & found a plate missing = compared it to my old one. Took plate off mine & installed it. Worked one time to open it. Then it just quit... I have tried 2 motors, 2 relay boxes, and checked F20. All appear fine..... had the SOB worked out of the box = I’d be done...

I give up!

 

Drink beer relax and look at it fresh in the morning.


The brake caliper arrived so that is sorted now. All the coolant hoses are buttoned up.

So tomorrow I can put on the tires, bleed the brakes and bleed the cooling system. Then it will be off to firestone for yet another alignment lol

 

Today I ripped out the second and third row. Thanks to Geo I knew how easily the third row can be split. Probably cold do it in place, but I needed the plastic tray out also that sits between. A few quick zips of the drill on the rivets and that was that. So now I have a very open, very light LR3 with a single "jump seat" in the back. Those seats weight A LOT. That third row alone, crazy! Next phase is being built and my shower system arrived today. Had some HUGE vet bills for my dog, so it might be a month before I can get er finished up then will reveal my camper conversion.

 

I’d have drank a lot of beer, but 680.00 in LR3 parts = no beer for me tonight. Well I went back out and attacked it. Sunroof had set a darn fault in the body control module... cleared that and did the 20sec calibration and it took! Snugged up everything & put it all back together inside (big mistake)... wife comes out it opens runs back and stops. Then when she went to close it I saw it hesitate & then it faulted again. Climbed up on the roof & the stupid thing moved to the left when I snugged all the bolts up.... so now of coarse it faults because it’s in a bind.

At least I know what it is, but honestly I’m tired of the LR3 myself now. I had that thing working great after I took the part off of mine (will be contacting the Ebay seller on that missing part), and I calibrated it. Then I simply just tightened up the bolts and the entire assembly shifts to the left?? I don’t mind dropping the headliner front bit again tomorrow evening, but that will be my last straw with the stupid thing. All these years I thought a D2 sunroof assembly was weak. The LR3 unit is all most 100% plastic & the strongest part is the glass & I saw first hand how strong it was when it exploded for no reason lol.

 

33's Ya'll.

 

Ebay retailer was fair & gave me 60.00 back for the missing block on the sunroof. Will once again tear into it this evening & hopefully for the last time!

I’ll have some beer chillin tonight!

 

Brakes bled
Coolant bled
33's on

And off to Firestone. Hit 70 on the way there all felt good.
