    Fitting CDL to D2 using D1 parts

    My Tdi vibrates so much I don't notice the T-case shifter :-)

    03 Disco CDL project cost savings

    Ashcroft makes a D-II T-case shifter kit for the '99- '01, be careful on the '02s as most do not have the CDL nipple similar to the '03.

    While I love the Isuzu, my first post came from the your last post logic- if you are basicly traveling North and Central America- SBC is hard to beat. And honestly, even if you do head to Africa or far East, a rental is the way to go. We have been building a truck in DC as a consultant for over...

    Will these mods done now save me hassle in the future?

    perhaps my perspective comes from similar experience some 35 years ago in my CJ5- sounds like it is a good thing JPK and I didn't meet up back then :-) And, yes I broke the tube with only 1200 miles, and no, not covered under warranty ;-( And those are multiple jumps, each getting higher, and...

    Will these mods done now save me hassle in the future?

    I've been doing this mess a while form all aspects- third world jungles to hard core wheeling, and my 2c is: set your budget, fix the biggest most likely issues to leave you stranded if they break, and go from there. JPK has a good bit of JKU experience and great insight especially for said...

    Funny thing Oliver- that was the first 110 I built from scratch, and by far the best powertrain. We adapted it to the ZF auto- a fella in the UK built adapters, but cannot put my hands on it now. I am doing a new SBC in the 130 only because it had already been started that way, otherwise it...

    Start with an old military M1028 I think it is- 5/4T Chevy long bed w/ 4.56s and TT front/Det rear. Remove the body- add whatever suits, even if it involves cutting down the unbreakable frame. Do the interior to suit needs and budget. They come with a 6.2/turbo400 auto, which means easy...

    International 4700 crew cab VS Dodge 3500

    International for sure- why be so close to overloaded on the Dodge- not to mention the trailer, etc. What a problem to have, eyh?

    Snorkel Wars

    it is called a precleaner, and allows the dirt/dust to settle- after being above the majority of the dust to start.

    OD Scepter MFCs in varying condition - TAKE A LOOK! 20L Scepter Cans!!

    I hope to have these in my possession soon, and will honor Travis' pricing. This helps him a bit, and moves one of the Discos for me, so the proverbial win/win it seems. I have several inquires already, and will respond once I have them here, and can facilitate shipping them. Feel free to pm...

    Battery disconnects and Freezer fridges......

    Is it just me, or why not do a manual switch- at least on the second battery when parked? I appreciate the safety knowing the second battery is off the loop. You can still use the whole auto charging deal, but simple add a cutoff switch to use only when parked/camping beyond a day, or whatever...

    What happened to Sahara Tan for JKs?

    thanks guys- and yes, it is an AEV rear tire carrier. It is compatible with a few different bumpers, stock included. I actually chose the '11 Tan over the '12 as I couldn't find what I wanted truck wise. So, I bought the Mojave, and had enough funds to build it as is, and be done vs. a stock tan...
