Unfortunately, mine runs great. My issue is mother nature.

I've done the GoPro things to find suspension noises in the past. Great idea!

I can easily TIG it up but I'm concerned that the metal is fatigued, and may happen again. I found a set locally and in the process of hoarding few more sets for the future.

This is a good point too. I had to angle my internal bump stops so that they land squarely on the axle pads AND not scrape the inside of the Dobinson coil springs.

Ok, that one is cockeyed looks no bueno. I did the same project and no heat makes it that far to impact the body bushing in that manner. Something ain't right!!!

if you're feeling something near the foot rest, check that body mount bushing hardware for tightness. you may have to put an extra ugga ugga on it then see what happens.

i need to pull the engine on my W124 to chase the leaks too!

you make good points.

"four wheel alignment isn't possible for the 80 since the rear is not alignable." I know that, but... 80 can have adjustable trailing arms that can be tweaked, Leaf spring cruisers can get subtle mods to move the perch on the spring to get the...

four wheel alignment isn't possible for the 80 since the rear is not alignable. I run 315s on factory rims and I set the toe (using a tape measure) at nearly zero or a hair toe in. i'm also part time so the front wheels aren't pulling at all...

i was tooling around the san juans last weekend and the flowers were wilting already :(

We have been enjoying the flowers, in full bloom! But missed Pappy's expert narrative!

If you have the time, head over to Stony Pass. The flowers were incredible when I was there a couple weeks ago.

Liz, Amanda, Daniel and I did some sweet trails today. We started at Corkscrew via Ironton Park, headed over to Lake Como for some pan fried pizza via Hurricane Pass. Lake Como was as busy as I have ever seen it. Daniel and I walked over to...

yes, I want to start hoarding both of them because i have a feeling I'll be destroying them one by one due to fatigue!

anyone?

so your caster is decent, not superb but doable. With all that you've done so far, are you still having tracking issues?

I feel bad for all those dogs whose heads are gonna get stuck because they've been cutting it close all these years just as the windows roll up ever so slowly :rofl: . Pip did a great job of explaining this product.

Thanks to a member sending me a link to this thread! The Window Rocket is my product. I'll start by answering a few questions- Austin didn't do anything sneaky in his video. He's a stand up dude and calls it like it is. I told him about the...

Pics and video of Harness @MooseMichaels, this is micks harness, 1hdfte.com.au, he's getting a new website currently. But he's still making harnesses.

I highly recommend Import Quality JDM Cars from Japan | Japan Car Direct - https://www.japancardirect.com/, make an account and start looking at auctions, you can get an idea of what HDJ100's are going for, I got mine pretty cheap. I think...

I'm looking for the alignment shop printout!!!

Mate - i think it's advisable to remove the current spindle and start with something similar to Ruffstuff where you get everything you need. Reverse engineering someone else's project is challenging. Australia is the king of these things so I'd...
