Jethro Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Worked on fixing my rear passenger door on the D1 finally, it's been unable to lock/unlock for a year...little challenging fitting a socket into the door handle to remove the nuts but after that it was pretty smooth sailing. The plastic round clip had broke causing the lever connected to the locking mechanism to just hang. For a quick fix used a zip tie to secure the plastic piece and put it all back together. Little progress here and there...still working on my drive shaft swap out, hopefully I can get that done by DITD. Rum_Ham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jethro Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Fixed it for you.This signal peak run won't work for me, wife works the night before so I'd have both kids in the morning and I'm not wanting to bring them on the first pass. I did sign up for the maze as that looks like an afternoon thing so we can all make it. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk erinw.rrc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil.

erinw.rrc Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Got new front breaks and rotors, new front control arms and a transmission flush! She's like a brand new rover! Well, I didn't do it myself, but that's okay. TomOwen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoDavis Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Saturday we went down to Santa Cruz and picked up the ARB group buy stuff. I got a D3 winchbar, and immediately went home to fit it. 14 hours later... It is not centered... but hey it works. Thanks Alyson for setting up the buy, saved a bit of money on that.

DHappel Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 But....where's the winch? Jethro and Rum_Ham 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 I forgot something I need for a job tomorrow so I had to come home this evening. Took the opportunity to replace the schrader valve on my Road Shower that had been nailed by a tree branch and bent up making the tank unable to pressurize. You would think this would be the work of about 2 minutes, but on the first gen units they used a funky metric thread size that I've never seen. They do offer it as a repair part on their website so that's good, but instead I drilled and tapped it for 1/8" NPT and installed a standard part that I can easily replace if I need to again.

DiscoDavis Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) But....where's the winch?Coming.... Mainly wanted this thing on for all the early-morning construction site work the disco sees. And in the evenings she spends a lot of time on the back roads where I usually see deer cross every night. Consensus on the best winch for these bumpers? 9.5xp? Oh and I fixed the ghetto wiring loom for the turn signals, goes through the drivers side box and added real loom to protect all the wires that go across the radiator Edited November 2, 2016 by DiscoDavis Rum_Ham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD1 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Installed prospeed sliders w/ the Raptor coating today. Got the compressor guard too but looks like I have an issue with fitment with the heat shield that might need some cutting... http://i1147.photobucket.com/albums/o557/louiboui123/File%20Dec%2004%2016%2003%2018.jpeg http://i1147.photobucket.com/albums/o557/louiboui123/File%20Dec%2004%2016%2003%2034.jpeg lithium1330, Jethro and Rum_Ham 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it mostly for my mom but will also be my overland/Tow rig for baja bug. Today starting prepping lr3 for carpet cleaning and detail. Also heres a pic of the rack before it went back on the d2 . I added a extra bar for the alpine windows and made the front like a baja rack.http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b113/lutzg/20161116_150351_zps0jwq9qsv.jpghttp://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b113/lutzg/20161204_154156_zpsibzuy6qn.jpghttp://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b113/lutzg/20161204_154203_zps5af4xcve.jpg Yikes, Lutzi....you actually let the D2 see the younger model?
