I have the previous set under my tool box lying in wait with everything removed from them for that exact reason... It's a good idea, gets rid of one more excuse to not change them.

This XJ build along with your previous trailer are truly awesome. I'm always impressed by your work. I would love to build an XJ with a healthy V8! Serious question though, regarding the rear axle, why an LSD over some type of selectable locker? Is there a benefit to using an LSD? I'm assuming...

When they clunk is when I replace them... It's the sound of the inner metal bushing bottoming out (or topping out) against the outside of the bushing and the inside of the control arm. I've got my 3rd set in my truck and I'm at 64k mi... 33k is within expectations for replacement, especially if...

It's nolathane, seems like they have their stuff together, but I haven't really done much research. The design of their lr3/4 bushings seems subjectively better than the polybush I'm currently running...

Just got my Alu-Box from equipt and want to mount it to my frontrunner rack. I'm planning on keeping all my recovery gear in it. So a couple questions before I make a go of it. How do you lock these things? Equipts website says they're lockable, but I can't find somewhere to buy locks. Any...

Didn't see it mentioned earlier in the thread, but maybe take it to a driveshaft shop and have them balance it... I had a carbon driveshaft in my track car many moons ago and I had to do that... Really annoying vibration past 65 to about 120... $70 fixed that right up...

Im running the britpart aka $hitpart to at least some of the U.K. folks with orange Polybush. They seem to be doing well and I have about 4K on them having run el Camino del Diablo and fooled around the the local OHV part on the black trails with them. Dealer complained about how stiff the...

Yet more drama to the swap, the 2010 LR4 I've had since new has a unique spindle on the driver side on my specific truck and Land Rover no longer makes the rod end that fits into the spindle, fortunately that one is still good for sure, plenty of resistance and zero grittiness. Ordered one from...

Victory, I've replaced wheel bearings on both sides already. Truck is at 64k miles at this point... Did the wheel bearings when I pulled everything apart. Replacing LCAS w/ polybush units and did rotors and pads too, the spindles are much easier to manipulate without a brake assembly in them and...

I'm half done with the install now... There is definitely easy movement in the inner tie rod now that it is disconnected from the spindle. I'll have them look at that tomorrow as well. Thanks for the feedback AJM!

That's what's confusing, after getting everything balanced this morning it's rolling smooth at speed, now it's only when hitting a bump, which happens often here in Texas on the highways... I'm going to replace the tie rods then get it aligned as planned tomorrow. At least I'll have one more...

Colodisco: If it was you would you be replacing them (sounds like it based on above response)? They didn't say anything regarding the tie rods. It's pretty frustrating because this is my third alignment in about 8 months, once was for the LCA replacement then due to taking them apart again to...

Update, had all tires dis mounted, flipped to white wall out, and balanced. Vibration is improved but still not gone. It is now most noticeable when the tire is straddling a seam on the road or I hit a bump, there is a temporary jolt followed by a few vibrations then everything smooths out. At...

Need a little feedback from you guys... Having a vibration issue starting between 45-50mph on up through 80mph. I have replaced the lower control arms (bushings, ball joints) about 4K mi ago and the front rotors and pads as well and wheel bearings. I previously had a vibration under breaking...

FWIW, my usi 160 solenoid was labeled upside down and initially I had it connected wrong, the LED behaved funny due to this. Not sure if that's your issue, as even when connected wrong it should still allow it to charge but that is worth looking at. Tim is helpful when you get him on the...

Very cool, thanks for the write up. Jealous of all that dirt you all have to go exploring on!

Rental 2WD Taco ******. Probably the dirtiest rental car ever... Great photos!

No experience with the OEM rack, but I do have the frontrunner rack, the accessories are what sold me on it, in terms of useful and easy to use / install, I don't think you can beat the frontrunner... Lots of guys like the prospeed, I also might take a look at the K9 rack... The frontrunner is a...

PM sent on bike rack...

You should, it's awesome, saw one other group of vehicles and a few folks based out of Ajo on side by sides out on the trail. The only people you will for sure run into is CBP, you'll hear them coming in their Raptors for sure, yes, some of them are driving Ford Raptors... I was jealous...
