    Still Need HELP - Starting issues, 2001 DII

    Solutoin!!! Well I think I figured it out. After reading about a similar scenario over on Land Rovers Only forum I asked my wife Amy to turn the key to position 2 while I went and put my ear to the fuel pump which I had already exposed under the rear carpet. The fuel pump should run for 2...

    Still Need HELP - Starting issues, 2001 DII

    Thanks, How do you suggest checking the coil pack for spark? Wouldn't the lack of spark cause a misfire while allowing the engine to start.

    Discovery 2 key blank options?

    Actually, Just take your stock key into a good locksmith shop and they can make you a new key from a flat blank. I till work on the doors and the ignition. I originally ordered some "Land Rover" keys off of ebay but nobody would cut them because they are steel and will ruin the modern key...

    Auxiliary fuel tank for 01 Tacoma reg cab

    I've heard of people using an Isuzu Trooper fuel tank, you can probably pick one up for cheap at the salvage yard.

    Salvage recovery Earthroamer on ebay

    Having been trhough them when complete and bran new I's say this one is still in great shape and a pretty good price considering the original retail pricing. About 30% of the retail price for much more than 30% of the original vehicle. Perhaps a few systems taken out but I did not see any...

    Subaru Forester

    It's been a while but in '97 & '98 I drove the Forester and the Outback with work and then in '99 managed a fleet of 19 Subaru Bajas that we drove all across the country for events. Never had any issues with them even with multiple people driving each one on a regular basis. All three models...

    Playing in the snow with the new MaxTrax

    I was running 18psi in the JK and the Nissan was also at 18. I'm not sure what the PW was running. There was plenty of deformation even in the cold temps. Regards, Brian

    Sub Zero Temps Gave My Power Steering A Leak!

    Hi, Anyone know the Power Steering System of a 2001 DII very well? The truck has 130K miles and never any steering system issues previously. From what I can tell the leak is from or around the PAS pump and not the Steering Box. I say this because their are drips on the bottom of the PAS pump...

    JK Overland Project: Expeditions West 3.0

    The truck is happily performing flawlessly! The long AT storage droor and the National Luna fridge have both proven to be very functional as well as the tie down points on top of the droor. It still has the ARB roof rack on top but we have had the RTT off for about a month now for about two...

    Thanks for the pics! I tried to stay up, fell asleep, woke up briefly and walked outside to see it at the partial eclipse stage and then went back to bed! Very cool event though!
