A couple of other things to consider. Do you have lift rods, which ones. If they are out of whack that can cause the issue. Also, mismatch tire, or perhaps under inflated one. If you've got nav, put it on the 4x4 screen for a while and see what happens. I doubt battery, or it should kick off...

Well done. I had a bit of fun myself today. I wanted to fit the new Traxide upgrade, didn't get to that. I did remove the bumper to fix a wiper fluid leak, turned out to be a split hose. It was an all day project. Before that, upgraded the winch battery wiring. Whew, worn out for sure. Good...

My out of pocket has been less than the insurance would have cost. Mind you, I stopped going to the dealer unless absolutely necessary. I buy my own parts (and sell them) and bring them with to my independent. So budget 1-2k a year for maintenance. if something happens you can use the fund...

It's ok to relocated it under the hood, that is where I put mine (warn) -- I used the factory Warn cables -- I think they are #4/0 or #2 Welding Cable. For the less adventurous, you might use the warn kits, and incorporate a quick disconnect Anderson-- Here are two I like. WARN 36080 28"...

The guys at british4x4outfitters.com do all things Defender. Give them a call.

I wouldn't recommend disturbing the wire bundle. These vehicles are finicky enough with their wiring. I considered using it for a second, and scratched the idea. If something in there were to break, it would be an expensive adventure to fix it. I'd refer you to this post on that one, and the...

:oops: Anyone that has had their moments, not a big deal.

Here is some pictures gang. You need to loosen the plate that holds the bundle of wires. Don't lose the NUT. Don't cut the zip ties, that will free it up so you have more room to maneuver. You'll then be able to remove the rubber grommet, set it aside for later. Then you should use a flat...

Tough Crowd, LOL I would prefer something fancier, point the way.

You're right!!

I've bought and used 3-4 of those Comets. They are ok, but ultimately I had to eliminate the pipe part, and bolt it on a flat spot on the rack. CB would be 11Meters. 27Mhz. Here is a decent CB Antenna http://www.theantennafarm.com/catalog/laird-technologies-c27s-691.html Trunklid Mount...

I like that - thanks!!

What frequencies are you planning on using? I have a 5/8 wave antenna spring loaded, which works ok. Spring loaded base. This is an NMO style base, I used an adapter to use a standard mount. http://www.theantennafarm.com/catalog/search/results.html?keyword=+Maxrad+MDB1444S What about a LIP...

It is glued on to the bars, the zip ties are a safety feature in the event the glue gives way, they are not load bearing. I agree there are better ways, I just haven't quite sorted it out yet. I posted the picture of the bottom of the panel, you can just make out the glue in spots. I'll be...

I finally got around to installing my Grape Solar 100W Flex panel. Time will tell if the mounting holds up. So far, it seems pretty decent. I like the panel, low profile, light weight, and works fairly well. Mounting Base More pictures at my gallery here.

More or less wrapped up my solar installation today. I added a Grape Solar Flex 100W panel, it's adequate to keep the vehicle topped off with the Fridge running, and Ham, but it could lose some ground if transmitting depending on how much, 2 would be awesome. One is enough, but barely. I am...

Here is quite a clever remote relay design. I wish they would up it to 15-20amp instead of just 10. I do like it though. 10A DC 6/9/12/24V RF Remote Control Switch---One Transmitter Controls 4 Receivers In summary, this means you can install 4 different receivers in different location and...

It is very nice, you can order directly maybe, or perhaps british4x4outfitters or lucky8 in Buffalo. They are sturdy, I have one. There are two models, one with a rear section that is flat for the RTT or one with Rails, which I have. Here is a picture...

+1 on the Grape Solar You cannot go wrong with them.

I hate to say it, but I used to be an Interstate fan. That was 5 200.00 batteries ago, not one lasted more than two years, 6 Golf Cart Batteries and 6 Deep Cycle batteries. All the same short life, despite maintaining the crap out of them. You can do Deka for the same or nearly the same money...
