    '06 Sprinter!! Nice find- and it hits the easy button square on!!

    Thanks!! I need to sell the take offs now, as they were new when we bought it. Talked about the Timbren bits third paragraph post 31. Decent improvement but not huge, and moderately expensive- though I guess not when compared to other suspension items. Perhaps perceived expensive -for two...

    '06 Sprinter!! Nice find- and it hits the easy button square on!!

    Just read the whole thread, and I think mine will be similar to yours as far as the lip on the back edge of the fronts. My bigger issue is the plastic lip on the front side. Easy trim, but still trying to sort the adhesion of the edge trim on the plastic. Plus, that edge trim will sadly show the...

    '06 Sprinter!! Nice find- and it hits the easy button square on!!

    Thanks Cole- was going to go back through your thread on here, but will search it on Source. I may need a bit extra with all the weight, but then again, perhaps the Timbren will carry same.

    '06 Sprinter!! Nice find- and it hits the easy button square on!!

    One last thing for now- still love the Sprinter!!! Really cannot believe how much I enjoy it. Plans underway for hopefully a 6 week trip next summer. Lots of shake out runs prior, and actually lots of normal use- it is fun to drive, and very maneuverable/nimble- did I mention i love this thing...

    '06 Sprinter!! Nice find- and it hits the easy button square on!!

    Okay, a little update. My rig came with the ugly squarish hole wheels and chrome caps- not bad, but not my preference for sure! So, found a set of 4 round hole dually rims, correct, or so I thought, MB center caps and a trip to the paint shop. Painted the wheels white to match the body, and the...

    Sprinter 4X4 available in Canada

    While I am still in the infatuation phase with our low mile '06, I currently would not give up the 5cyl for 4x4. However, I just got my Timbren units today for front and rear, and may change my mind if the suspension firms up. But in the mean time, I am considering rear locker, Aluminess front...

    Tools to keep in the Disco II

    shop manual, OBD II scanner, and the thin walled driveshaft socket with built in extension- oh, and a hub socket. CDL comes in real handy as it allows 2wd vs no wd...

    '06 Sprinter!! Nice find- and it hits the easy button square on!!

    Thanks Mike and Java!! And now on to the stuff to make the easy button obsolete ;-( After much reading and searching, I had to go with the 235's- and I had a new set of (5) Duratracs from a recent trade. Poof, bought one more, purchased some wheels- 4 to be exact. Had them painted to match the...

    Looking to buy a Dual Sport to use on a hitch mount for the Airstream

    I have an old Honda Trans Alp, and it fits the bill for your intended purpose as near as I can tell. I have carried KTM 640 and as big as a 1150GS as you intend, and lighter is waaaaay better. As stated above, dual purpose by definition means it does neither task perfectly, so find one that...

    Testing the water: 1988 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, G WAGEN.

    I've read the diesel swap isn't as easy on the 2.3 as the 2.8- can you verify? Nice rig none the less, GLWS

    Test drove a D1 5 speed today

    It will take longer to bypass the rear window ECU than fix the existing problem. And as stated above, get used to the nuances as they never end with a Disco, BUT it will likely never leave you stranded- especially being a 5 speed...
