It's a bit late, but he's on the money. If you pull out the liner you'll see a 'pocket' you can route the lines into. On some trucks I've been able to successfully bend the stock aluminum piping into that area and on others I've cracked it when trying. However the good news is standard 5/8"...

Da-yum....too bad I can't do a trade in on my existing kit! Still, call me maybe.

I've been away from ExPo for quite a while recently but just checked back in to see this old topic had drifted back to the top. Actually just came back from playing on the Rubicon over father's day, but this time I took the D1. It's _sooo_ much easier than the LR3! Regarding 'having the...

I've long argued that the current coil conversions just don't cut it for me. All of them I've seen, even the +2" kits, barely reach stock height with any load, much less give you the height of rods and air. However, if a true coilover kit came to market, particularly if paired with improved...

We'll be waiting for you.... :)

I'll have to respectfully disagree with JWest - at least to some extent. I run rods full-time. With the GAP tool I was one of those guys who couldn't get much lift. I now run stock height + rods - effectively making my on-road height the equivalent of stock off-road height. Everything JWest...

Hey Conner, you should drag SheepDog out to the MoM on Saturday!

Agreed. Aero drag is a killer on these things so keeping the speeds down makes a big difference. A headwind will also be a huge gas-suck.

My Cooper STT Pros (275/70-18) are still going strong. Just came back from 10 days in Death Valley and didn't even damage a tire or have a single warning light on the LR3. I do think the extra weight and grip of the bigger tires means you need to be more careful with the skinny pedal on...

I've been a bit 'off' the LR3 recently as I bought a D1 crawler to play with and it's getting all my attention of late. I haven't gotten into the suspension on the LR3 in some time - I actually haven't had any issues with it but then again I'm not running the Proud Rhino stuff at the moment. I...

I don't believe so. It's not a simple 'on/off' locker but a progressive lock, at least as far as i remember. Perhaps you could make it work but I don't think it would be worth the hassle vs just doing an ARB at that point. As for those who say you don't need one and if you do then you're in...

How 'bout this - you keep the infotainment crap and just sell me the bloody truck? Mkay? As for on-board nav, I'm done with it and don't plan to order it any any vehicle at this point. I've had it in a few rigs from my '07 LR3 to my '13 NV200 and I'd still rather use my phone any day of the...

It might be worth dropping an email to GAP for the spreadsheet anyway as it makes it much easier to do the job. If you mention what your current wheel height settings are they'll be able to tell you if they are likely to be the cause. I'm assuming the errors you were getting were cross axle...

I don't have my manual at hand as I'm at work for the week, so i forget what that actual set-up is called - I believe it's EAS calibration; when it's off it will throw cross axle errors so that's where I got the term I guess. Basically it's setting the ride heights for each corner in...

It's a '96 D1. Mods are extensive of course but the basics are a 4.6, 5" RTE lift with a few custom touches, 1" body lift so minimal fender cutting for the 35x12.50 MTR-Ks, re-geared transfer case, custom hi-steer with PSC assist, Detroit rear and ARB front, and of course the top went away...

It's most likely not the traction control that you're feeling but the stability control. And you wouldn't have caused any issues by putting the half shaft in a different spline on the hub so no worries there. Most likely you need to do a cross axle calibration. If you have a GAP tool you can...

I've broken a couple of front links as well, though not in a while. I've never tried running with them fully removed and can't say what the actual effect was one way or the other.

Took 2 guys 7 days to get those floors done. Mostly because they had to use their small 240v grinders instead of the big 3-phase stuff. You should have seen it when it was fresh!

Not Expo-approved. :sombrero:

OK, I admit I did carry spare struts on my Rubicon run, as well as a driveshaft, half-shaft, and some other big items. And I'm actually somebody who's broken all those items on the trail at one time or another. But for regular trail use? No - just not that big a chance of breakage vs the...
