Hello all , so after various questions I thought I should start a progress thread off and what intentions I have got for my D2.
Well it's going to be a daily drive and a green laner . I only work 20 minutes on a bad day from home and I dont drive far often . My other hobbies are hill and mountain walking , amateur radio along with CB. I end up going playing radio on hills etc . So will be adapted for that use along with camping also .
Right here she is ...

Excuse photo bucket logos I'm not sure how to remove them ...
Well on Saturday I replaced water pump , serpentine belt , checked idlers and tensioner , replace both engine filters and oil , replaced coolant, cleaned front camshaft plug and temporary sealed it . Greased prop and a genral inspection underneath . All done by 1pm including drive back home from workshop .

While looking underneath found rear diff weaping so need a new seal for that and once spring here some chassis cleaning and treatment in areas the back end has been done and is solid . Tapping with hammer etc .

Also found engine has been protecting the front part of chassis ... leaks galore . But as already said I cleaned front up and re sealed for now . Ordered a injector loom and a cam cover gasket and camshaft plugs and as only cheap a fpr gasket but realised after filter and o ring . But not 100% sure coming from there . So will do those few bits and give a dose in jizer etc and power wash off .

I have some maxxis bighorns on there way to me , so will fit them one evening after work . I think initially going to be curing problems before many modifications .
All the best , Matt
