Or an even closer example: The Wrangler. Solid axles, diff locks, sway bar disconnects, good low range transfer case, fender space for big tires, rugged/simple/boxy design

This, I missed this one by an hour ....... yes we are all jealous :)

Awesome. Although I have the locking rear - I would have preferred to get the ARB, then I can lock it whenever I want, not when the computer thinks it should.

Update the firmware on your IIDTool. The new firmware will read off the battery voltage in real time!

Not sure if serious............LR3 is fuel injected not carbureted. No floats or jets.

15-18 is a good average here but with Mud terrain tires. With street tires I was in the 17-19, maybe 20 if I really tried

Yes not required by NHTSA: http://www.nhtsa.gov/Research/Light+Vehicle+Brake+Systems . Try again EricWS. Still trying to figure out your logic- Any law that prevents a vehicle from coming into the country is to keep us "safe"?

No No Noooo. Why do you keep saying the government decided this was "unsafe" and therefore crushed? (ignore the idiot on the video). The law says if it can or can't come into the country. Government decided it is an illegal import as it did not qualify for the 25 year exemption based on the...

No. If the car does not meet the rules and regs required to import a car, to the US gov't its ILLEGAL. Nothing more, nothing less.

Not really. The law limiting imports to 25 years + has nothing to do with "safety". It was about preventing people from importing vehicles to save money, thereby hurting the dealers/manufactures. People were buying vehicles abroad and importing to save thousands of dollars. One of the primary...

Isn't there a recall on a pipe coming disconnected in the tank? But I think that was just 2005 vehicles, or maybe early 2006. My stalling issue was releated to a dirty throttle body/maf. Get some throttle body and MAF cleaner and give it a good cleaning. Shouldn't take more than a couple minutes.

no disrespect intended. Haha this is probably a perspective thing. Up in the PNW all we do is offroad in trees. Hell I've had to cut trees just to get to hiking trail heads :)

No chainsaw? Seems like a pretty basic piece of kit for the journey they were going to be taking.

This is the reason I spent a bit of money to convert my brakes to fit 17" wheels. The key is to stay on a 31.5" if you want to try and drive on bump stops. Won't be pretty but atleast it will roll without damage!

Great project. . Quick question. How much leg room is there with the pickup cab? I know it is already tight in Defenders, but is it less since the seat can't go back anywhere (or use seat slide extensions)?

If you have an IIDTool then yes you probably could. Use the IIDTool to view the live values of the height sensors, it should be obvious which one is not like the others. I haven't tried doing this but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Just get an IIDTool. You'll want it or some other computer system if you go offroad. Then you can set it in "tight tolerance" mode yourself and have it done wherever you want. Just make sure you don't drive for too long on the tight tolerance mode, it causes the compressor to run A LOT more...

I am 99% sure you could have trail fixed this with just a little more knowledge. 1. Move to the flattest section of ground you can find. 2. Use the IIDTool to clear the fault to get the compressor to kick on 3. When the suspension has returned to a full height (or a height you think is...

Tight tolerance mode causes the computer to auto level when the difference is something like +-2mm. Normal mode is as much as +-10mm It is possible the truck is sitting out of alignment (front, back, side to side, or even just 1 wheel) when you align the vehicle.

Watch the imperial gallons. In US gallons they are in the mid 20's But I would love a 10 mpg bump :)
