Job's done. The fatal o-ring was broke in 2 places. I have replaced it with a new not OEM one and I can say: so far so good. I hope that will end the story.

I'd like to refresh the topic due to my recent experiences. Very recently I have completed the HG job and drove about 300 miles without any problems. Yesterday I noticed a smell of gas but disregarded that. Today, hoping that the smell will vanish, I started the car. The smell came back. I...

I also owe Dan a lot. He helped me with parts during very hectic HG repair. I used both PM (shopping list) and phone (greetings:) + order). I found the number on the web. Thanx again Dan, my 80 is up and running again :cheers:

I will add to the above description that besides regular HG job I took care after valves too. What about some quarantine, let's say 100-300 miles of easy ride? The whole new set up shouldn't settle down? I would like to be 100% sure that I will not make any mistake at this point.

My rig recently went through a serious "hart attack" - blown HG. Finally I have managed to fix it but at the same time I lost faith in its durability. I can say that I am a petrol-head and I do care about my rigs. I also had a few vehicles in my stable so far - 80 was the first who failed me...

ZPDFJ, could you post a photo of the carrier without a tire? BTW it looks realy good!

Jon, I have the same set up: 40th sage and Audi A4 V6 Quattro. Excellent choice:clap:. The lift looks grate. I am going for mine OME Medium next month:cheers:.

My TJM snorkel works in the first place for me then for the rig ;). I like the new look of the rig, I feel safer while cruising in the water and I did not now about the chick thing :hhmm:. So now I feel even better :).

I am struggling with my blown HG at the moment. Dan helped me with the parts - thanx again Dan :cheers:. I hope to finish the repair next week. I do sympathize with you. Isn't there any way to do the repair by you and keep the rig? On the forum there is a lot of useful info to guide you through...

Congratulations :clap: In your case posting a sound sample would do the trick but photos of your install won’t hurt either ;). BTW I am not satisfied from HiFi in my 40th either. A friend of mine has lx450 at his HiFi performs much better then mine. It always reminds me that I have to do...

Apparently it was the only way Jeep could reach the top :steer:. Nice video :)

Hmmm, it looks pretty well thought over - like for a camper. But it's missing one important thing - off-road abilities. Can it be still called LC?

Welcome :flipoff2: to 40th club. 80 in that configuration rocks!

I am rolling on Kumho Road Venture AT KL78 285/75/16. My previous set was OEM Michelin LXT M/S 275/70-SR 16. Here are my observations: - gas consumption: over 1K miles I observed approx. 10% gas consumption increase (I added ARB bullbar) - comfort: I did not observe dramatic noise increase. Due...

My rig is 100% US version with US HG problems. Majority of my European friends have HDJs. I haven't heard about HG problem in their cases even though they can legitimate with impassive mileages. I'm going to fix HG and give it a second chance. From that what I can read on the ih8mud and I can...
