Let me start by saying I realize regulations vary by state, and even within a state, but I am looking to hear what people have done to overcome the problem with registering a diesel conversion. I have a 1999 D1 with a 1998 300TDI from a UK D1. The initial conversion was done by someone else...

Great Info! Thank you. I'm still a bit new to all of this. I sold my last Fj40 in 1990, and there was no InterWebs with all this great information. I'll be stopping by your shop, virtually at least, to check things out. What would you recommend for me, given what I am trying to accomplish -...

Great info. Thanks!

OK, bit of an update - I lifted up the LC to check on things on the underside. First thing I checked was the front wheels. They were both loose, not bad, but detectable play in the wheel. I pulled the hub locks, lock nut and washer, and was able to tighten the large nut that preloads the...

Ironman would not have been my first choice, but here in the states, I'm having trouble finding a reasonably priced replacement suspension for my diesel LC. The prices I am being quoted are $2- 3K because of the specialty (at least in the US) front springs. Ironman came in at just about $1K...

Thanks again to everyone. I have parts coming from Justin an Lucky8, Brian at DefenderNW and Rovers North. Spreading the love :D

Thank you everyone. I did not have a chance to get to this last night, but I will dive in on Friday and see what I can find out. I'll keep the group updated.

Thanks for the info everyone. I'll check things out tonight if I have time. Skids, I normally drive at not more than about 60, but that seems to be the sweet spot for causing the vibration. At 55 to 60 I average about 28mpg over 70 it drops to about 22...

Hello, My 1988 HJ61 has a somewhat intermittent and variable intensity vibration from about 60 to 70 mph. It has had it since I bought it a couple of months ago. It is not bad, but it is annoying. It does not always do it, and the speed range varies a bit as does the intensity. It runs smooth...

Thank you everyone for the quick responses! This is what makes these forums so valuable :)

Hello, Looking for a North American parts source for the 300TDI engine. I'm hoping to not have to keep ordering bits from overseas. I know this not a common conversion, but there are some of them floating around out there. Does anyone know of a reliable source? Thanks! _________________...

Can you post up the schematic? My rear windows have the same issue.... Thanks!

Do you have key(s) and a complete set of matched locks/ignition? - Ignition, five door locks and fuel door lock.... I don't need or care about the fob or ECU/Alarm. This is for my 300DTI conversion, and I have already replaced the EDC pump with a manual one, so no alarm disable issues :)...

GREAT informational thread. I have always been a proponent of mostly stock except for very specific specialized applications - rock crawling, desert racing etc. Mod I would not do again - 15K Warn winch on my Ram 2500 Cummins. Not that there was anything wrong with it, but it was mostly a...

I'm new here, but not new to the adventure scene. I've been an active member of Adventure Rider (two wheeled adventure vehicles for those of you unfamiliar) for more than a decade. I have also owned several LCs over the years. My solution to the conundrum (hopefully not with disastrous...

1. Year, model, color, etc: 1988 HJ61 - 12HT turbo diesel, sand/tan 2. Name of owner/screen name: Dave/clang 3. How long have you owned your 60 series? Is this your first? I just purchased it this month. It's my first 60 series. I've had 3 40 series over the years 4. Mileage at date of...

A couple of mine.......

Noob and lurker here, but very active on Advrider for the last decade. I'm in the process of building my adventure wagon - 2004 Ram 2500 Cummins quad cab short bed. Anyway, I have been a GS fan since 1992. I have a 92 R100 GS (with 124K miles on it that I bought in '93 with 1k miles) and a...
