Went for a little drive to test a few features out.....hill decent control works great!

 

Here she is. Kalahari wheels with BFG KO2S mounted and ARB with warn m8000 from a disco 1. 2000 transfer case and 1995 shifter about halfway done installing. Not fun

 

did the Option B fix for my ABS. all ABS dash lights are now off and ABS, TC and Hill Descent functioning as advertised.

 

I did this a while ago but I figured I'd mention it since today I realized how much an improvement it made. A couple times in the last 6 months I've bogged down at the bottom of hills and twice I got "multiple misfires" on my ultragauge. Never got a light on the dash. The spark plugs looked ok so I kept them in and worried that it might be a fuel pump issue or something like that. Anyway, the bogging down on hills got really bad about a month ago and finally just decided to get 8 new spark plugs in there just to see if that was actually the problem. Holy crap. I had no idea how rough this thing ran. According to the tach it idled smooth but it rumbled like crazy. Figured it was just because it's a v8. With the new plugs it idles like a Prius.

Looks awesome! Do you have any issues with the tires that large?

 

Thanks! It's a 2" HD terrafirma lift with 265/75/16 tires. No rubbing issues. Flexes pretty well with extended brake lines and abs lines. Needs sway bar disconnects though

Been a few days, but I've more or less finished my front bumper and I got my snorkel mostly installed. I just need to make a bracket to attach it to the a-pillar.

 

Thanks for the info cosmiccharlie! Cheers!

 

replaced a cracked headlight, fixed the blower motor, and put the dash back together. Also figured out I need a front right caliper as it is froze.

 

Replaced the water pump, viscous fan and serp belt as preventative maintenance today.
also backflushed the coolant system and replaced the dexcool for prestone green coolant.
after a quick drive im noticing lower running temps at 40 to 50mph, but slightly higher at idle. Still in the 186 to 194f range, but need to bleed some air out over the next couple of days
