There are only two approaches to cure this, depending how severe it is.. A) Taje apart the entire fuel system and clean & disinfect or replace each line & item in touch with diesel. B) Clean out tank, flush lines change filters and, if it runs reasonably well then: Proceed as needed. I guess...

Shot of my Bj73 (well, parts of it), with mount Mont Blanc (🇨🇭).

Some more shots ...

This is not how the LSPV works. When the vehicle is level (moving without braking yet), full brake goes to the rear. When during braking the vehicle sinks in on the front / rear goes up (can be simulated by lever down), the LSPV gradually sends more brake power to the front, using a bypass line...

Soft top / FRP top (foldable) windscreen is less tall than a rigid roof (non foldable) windscreen. Cheers Ralf

I have OME in my BJ73 and like the ride. Also articulation is good for a leafsprung vehicle. Consider the lift that comes with it, though. 2° caster correction make a difference and provide nice steering. Greaesable shackles and original OME bushings. Do a proper calculation of your weights...

😎 Very nice. This job was actually on my todo list for a long time. I was committed to get to it this summer, but had to be post yet again for a trip with friends to the Western Alps (starts in 2 weeks; stay tuned). - I'm also still very undecided on the fabric. May you mind sharing a link? -...

Hi I have my external gauge (Motometer, which is the low cost brand of VDO) plugged to the OEM temp sensor. The reading might not be baselined, but the relative reading is extremely accurate. On a cold start, I can even notice the thermostat starting to operate: Temp goes up, then temp goes down...

Heavy duty garbage bags work great. And some thin butyl adhesive string from Amazon. Cheers Ralf

🤣. My bad. I may have typed that with my German keyboard settings on, which makes the autocorrection do funny things, as it is full of English terms it 'learned' on similar occasions. Those latches look good. With my rig, they simply cut a hole above the cross member 🫩. For the doors: Put a...

The grease nipple can be undone with a metric wrench or nut. I don't know the size of that nipple from the top of my head. No special tool needed. Just be gentle, as those have a tendency to sheer, because the are hollow. Cheers Ralf

Sorry, maybe I didn't get you. What do you mean by 'rod thing'? If it's about the sliding yoke: The distance between transfer case and diff varies depending on the articulation and movement of suspension and axle. So, the prop shaft needs to vary in length, too. That's what the slip yoke is for...

Hi Be careful with greasing the slide yokes. They take very little grease only. When full of grease, they can't slide in and damage the transfer case. Remove the grease nipple and drive a bumpy read to haven the yokes compress and excess grease being squeezed out. Best regards Ralf
