I have been chasing the same. Only things not been replaced are the wheels, which might be happening soon.

In my experience, it's very often the lugs that are stripped. You *could* clean them out with a tap but for something like that I'd play it safe and replace them, OEM lugs are cheap.

Lovely, welcome.

I’ll double check them with one of those thread pitch tools tomorrow. Or maybe the mating surface of the wheel hole is out of round or not same size anymore?

Got one/two lug nuts that don’t seem to want to torque down. What would cause that? Nut stripping? Stud stripping? Thanks

My thoughts on the Scheel-Mann Vario F in the 75 cab It works for a guy my size for sure. I’m 5’8” 170 normal legs…

Well have traced the wire from the Amplifier that operated the clutch via the A/C Coolant Temp Switch. (Located half was down the intake side of the 1HZ block.) Wire from Amplifier is Black then changes to Black/Blue (see diagram above) where...

The last days we drove around in the Lincoln National Forest. Mind blowing

I think the Scheelman are a mixed blessing for the 75 Ute, if you are short or have short legs they will probably work, if you are tall or have long legs they may not be a good fit. I ordered another set of planted brackets in bare pieces and...

Or you could just buy one from Espar 😉

I do not recall finding any aftermarket options for the resistor, but I also do not recall looking either. With the info provided by AirheadNut, I would suggest removing the resistor first to visually inspect it. My experience was the wire...

Had to grab a couple of things out of the Cruiser so I snagged a photo while I was there. Looks like just one screw to undo instead of two. Here is a photo of the resistor, mine is a 12v variation so the part number might differ from your...

So that gets me up to current time. 9 months. Thats a long time and I appreciate how patient Brendan has been. My next two were scheduled to leave the west coast of Saudi on the 15th but Iran decided to lob missles all over the Persian Gulf so...

ring and pinion if their replaced but since you reused the original theres no break in period

What’s the problem that you want to remove the fan switch? Lots of times the problem with fan not working or only on some speeds is the resistor mounted on/near the fan itself

Fan drops out of the bottom of the housing

They do high end restorations and have secondary business rebuilding brakes and hydraulics. I got a lifetime warranty when they rebuilt my clutch mc and booster. White Post Restorations – Fine Automobile Restorations & Brake Cylinder Solutions -...

@Gun Runner 5 it's a 1995 Subaru Sambar. The only 4 cylinder kei truck variant I believe....5 speed, push button T case, crawler low gear, and A/C. It's the perfect little ranch truck. I just taught my 10 year old daughter how to drive it...

🤷‍♂️ I expected that too

I don’t have my 2H anymore so I can’t help. Do you have a maintenance manual with the wiring diagrams? That should help.

What kind of specialist shop?

Ring and pinion is original, that is they weren’t replaced. Bearings were replaced and a solid spacer was used. What parts exactly need breaking in? The bearings and/or ring and pinion? Thanks

The front cleared better than the rear, but I didn't have much of a problem either way. The rear just rubbed a bit of the paint off of the inside of the wheel well at full tuck My friend and I drove into a ditch at an angle to measure full droop...

anyone ever measure diff temps after driving hwy speeds? I had the rear diff rebuilt with electric locker and today was the first time to drive it at hwy speeds, for about 3mi. after getting back I felt, then measured the rear diff temps and...

did those wheels clear everything in the front without the spacers?
