Were you guys trying to scare him off?? I just did this last year. Had all the major bits still attached to the car. Really only needed the bags and sensors. That was $671USD OEM and brand new, shipped to my door from somewhere near your side of the pond. Including the R clips @ $2 or so a...

Yup don’t touch that swivel nut!!! I only realized this AFTER, I got real intrigued about how it works and I started playing with it.. completely lost it’s zero.. had to start from scratch... oh well..you never forget the lessons you learn the hard way..And I won’t be forgetting this one

Just did my ball joints myself too. Seems like the toughest part of this job is aligning the hub.(without the tool of course). The slightest misalignment and the axle seal weeps oil. The margin of error is probably less than half a mm. Yeah that sucks.. Good work and good luck And...you know...

And.....Hes been bitten by the bug!:p Good luck, glad to hear you made it home ok. As for the compressor taking breaks in between pumping. I would start with the "door open" test and confirm efficacy of the pump. 7-8 mins from 0PSI is good condition. Really helps to have a inline gauge for...

Seems like the diesels have no problem making it past 250K. Best of luck to you on 300K

"Pay it forward":) Yall are nice people. Carry on

LOL niiice...Im right there with you! Glad Im not the only one that has had to replace a "few" parts.. Only thing Im still considering is extended SS brake lines.

Holy ****! thats pretty good.. Its a 4.0 rebuilt at 287K and used to be a police vehicle. Impressive.. Really shows that these rigs dont like to sit. Drive em hard boys!

I was just curious and did a quick search. Seems like the last time it was asked here was 10 years ago. So with the decade coming to an end; what kinda life is everyone seeing out of their rigs? Hoping to get first hand ownership experience and not for sale ads that you have seen since we wont...

Look at the install instruction for the link I sent. Pretty much explains everything.

Valve block is under the bonnet. Black box with "EAS" stamped on it. Its easier to access in the down condition than normal:p You only need the valves, an air source, and a flat head screwdriver helps.

http://www.tawpark4x4.co.uk/instructions/manual_inflation_device.htm This should give you the idea. Very bottom of the page shows just the 4 valves connected.

On the splined area that I cleaned up. It goes into the wheel bearing.

I once had to drive roughly 100 miles home on 3 airbags, 3 shocks and a piece of a log. Some of it (10miles)was rough trail coming down the mountain in the dark..but the rest was 60mph on the freeway. Not fun, at all... Cant imagine doing 150miles on all four bump stops... If you can get a...

Finally took apart my rear axle to try to track down this annoying click. Changed out the axle seal, replaced the brake pads and rotor. Cleaned up the nearly seized caliper slides. Also cleaned the axle splines and wheel hub and applied loctite 648. Just waiting for 24hrs before I take it for a...

Oh yea I second that! P38 brake parts are expensive! Now that I think of it..Ive experienced every common brake failure possible for the GEMS. And when checking the codes each time something failed, there was no ABS ECU fault code. Only when everything was finally in tip top shape did she start...

It comes and goes.. So even in the UK I might be able to sneak by MOT every once in a while if I were to reset it lets say...right outside of the testing facility.. My money is on the fusebox. Since that is the oldest thing in my rig, in the most vulnerable area. Probably a broken or corroded...

Thanks guys! And yes, you cant really tell except for the size of the trees in the background but, were backed up to a HUGE cliff! Lots of handbrake faith involved

Mine has had this code stored and restored for over a year. Also, Ive replaced fuses and relays and pretty much all of the braking system and its in top shape. However, I dont pop a dash light. Really hoping you figure it out soon, its always in the back of my mind before a trip and its been...
