I just today had the 'pleasure' to do the rear window job again.. 🥴 Did it 3ish years ago. My left window developed a severe leak, which really sucks as the car was parked outside, because my garage is inaccessible due to construction work. I used Sika 221i, a 1k urethane sealant (not sure it...

Hi From factory, it only has the B pillar hoop that supports the frp top / roof. The roll cage doesn't. If I look closely at the pics, I see the rollcage is stand alone and not attached to the frp top, still. I'm with your concern. No idea how, but apparently they managed to put all weight on...

I just last week had this issue: Rain runs down from the rear windows into the frame rails. By design, there are drain holes in the rubber seals as well as the frame to drain the water. That's why the spacers under the frame are important: They provide the necessary space for the water to drain...

Hi Baselining the truck is advised anyways. Here is a thread of mine that I wrote some time ago on that matter. KZJ78 INFO - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/kzj78-info.1333474/post-15382006 If you need manuals for your truck, PM me. I have them available and can share them to you. Cheers Ralf

Welcome to the 3b Club, on the unhurried side if live. Looks nice 👍. Other than giving it a good checkup, my suggestion for an upgrade: Put a decent temperature gauge. The thing in the dash will never indicate in time if your engine starts overheating. The 3b is however not a real powerhouse, so...

Yep, had that with a rental vehicle. They must have had condensation in their compressor lines at the rentals shop and blew the water in. But @maliahad the wheels balanced already, he said in post 1. Any news on the diagnosis, though? Cheers Ralf

Hi You probably have a 'Death Wobble'. Lots of posts on that buzzword. Technically it is a resonance swinging of multiple components in the front axle, made possible by too much play. In many cases this is not caused by a single culprit, but as a combination of multiple parts that have each...

Hi. Did it some time ago. Here is a joint writeup with all the details: Thread 'remove fuel tank' remove fuel tank - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/remove-fuel-tank.1169566/ The filler neck is not connected to the fuel lines at all. It may leak, but if you experience air in your lines, it...

Well, I guess it sucks in air when sitting over night and the diesel runs back into the tank.. But the bleeding pump is not designed for that frequent use. I still suspect the pump to be the culprit for your current issue. As mom says: One might have fleas and louse. Try to disconnect the feed...

I guess, it is the pump itself, as the Sound immediately appears and is fully in sync with the pumping motion. You also apparently do not build any pressure at all. If it barely runs: Spray some starter fluid around the pump and move it. If the revs go up... there you go. Good Luck Ralf

Hi I did the job some time ago. Here is my writeup I advised to a buddy. Post in thread 'BJ73 FRP windows' BJ73 FRP windows - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/bj73-frp-windows.955186/post-14596956 For gluing the windows back in: Automotive sealant. Important: Use sealant, not bodywork glue, as...

That should be fine. The Victrons can handle simultaneous charging and consuming. I would make the inbound line switched by a relay from ignition, to avoid any unwanted draw from the starter battery. I guess you have that already. Remember: The line feeding into the house battery has an active...

Hi In a decent battery management system, charging and consuming at the same time is not a problem. It happens in virtually any all-12V Recreational Vehicle (RV) or boat. In advanced setups, e.g. using Li- or AGM- batteries (probably even with a modern, load balanced alternator) a proper battery...

Hi Could be done by an alternating relais (4Pin). ^^. What would be the benefit of having 24V on the auxiliaries when driving? I have my house battery being charged when driving (battery management system DC/DC step-down) and powering the auxiliaries permanently from the house battery. I...
