    Transmission/T-Case Underbody Armor for DII?

    Rocky, owhiting, and Rovertrader in particular, thanks for the very helpful and relevant info. Asfir wasn't on my radar for this and looks to be exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the help. Zack, thanks for the feedback on the TF piece. Good to know, even if Drew has never been...

    Transmission/T-Case Underbody Armor for DII?

    Title pretty much says it: I'm looking for some (U.S. available) underbody protection for those "underbelly" areas of the truck. Already have diff armor for front and rear, a steering guard and have a fuel tank guard lined up. A hard damage-inducing hit in this area has me looking to cover it...

    Trasharoo group buy 11/4/2013

    Just to clarify, is the bag being offered with or without the Expo logo, or is it only available with the Expo logo? Wasn't sure if the previous post was only talking addressing the availability of other logos... Either way, thanks for putting this together! Steve

    04' DII build

    I was all over this truck at the ORW. Probably the nicest DII in the country. Really. Show quality execution in a truck built to be run. Steve

    Preventative Maintenance for high mileage DII?

    I'll have to check and see if the mounts were done when Engine # 2 went in. I'd like to think they were replaced but who knows. We've all have a painful recoil story I'm sure, but thats a potent one for sure, 454. Thanks guys.

    Preventative Maintenance for high mileage DII?

    Iiiiiiinteeeresting. Would never have thought of that. Exactly the kind of stuff I'm looking to hear about here. Thanks! 454, apropos of nothing, my first car, a '77 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser was (like my DII) on it second engine, which was a...you guessed it... 454. That car had more torque...

    Preventative Maintenance for high mileage DII?

    Gonna agree with Zack on this one too...mine made it to about 196K, and only finally gave up the ghost after four days of the gnarliest abuse at the Vermont Overland Trophy. Still managed to limp home with it shredded but still somewhat connected. Would've disconnected it and ran home with CDL...

    Preventative Maintenance for high mileage DII?

    Thanks Kyle, and congrats on the 200K. Hopefully you made it there on Engine #1. ;) Actually just did the hoses and thermostat this summer, the latter after it let go on a trip to NH. I guess what I'm really asking is about the big ticket items. For instance, would anyone advocate diving into...

    Preventative Maintenance for high mileage DII?

    My '02 DII is about to turn 200,000 miles. Had to replace the engine (slipped liner) around 110K or so, but I am wondering if I should be thinking about significant PM on any of the other major systems. It is my daily driver but does get used heavily on the trails. The rear diff was done this...

    How much recovery gear do you keep in your daily driver?

    Great stuff guys, thanks! Interesting to see the varied replies, although there is definately a basic theme of having at least some stuff on board all the time. FWIW, I keep a well stocked get-home bag in the truck, along with a good first aid bag and 5lb fire bottle. Just never occurred to...

    How much recovery gear do you keep in your daily driver?

    Was just emptying out the Disco from a trip/trail run and as I was hoisting my packed recovery gear bag back into the garage, I wondered "Should I be keeping some of this in the truck all the time?" I'm talking about winch-specific gear for the most part. I have multiples of most stuff so it...

    And just to clarify, you don't have to be from Mass to join the fun. We're expecting people from New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. With so many marque-specific clubs doing so well, its nuts that owners of the Greatest Marque of them all aren't better organized here in New England...

    Hey man, thought so..my daughter was chewing my ear off about so I never got to do more than give the "wave". Hows it going with you? We re looking to put some trail runs together with some like minded Expo Forum people. I'll keep you posted as things develop.
